The premise, in the publisher's words
Journey with Potboy along the twisted trail of The Midnight Walk.

Encounter new friends and experience awe-inspiring sights as you navigate a path fraught with both peril and affirmation.

What you need to run it

The Midnight Walk launched on 8 May 2025, within three weeks of Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, RoadCraft and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. It reviewed better than 3 of the 4. It arrived 5 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
