00:03The Midnight Walk is a cosy horror adventure
00:05which is this nightmarish highway riddled with terrors
00:08on these different paths to different fairy tales
00:11if you meet Potboy
00:12that you have to keep alive along the Midnight Walk
00:15there's a bunch of hiding from monsters
00:17exploring, looking for secrets
00:19bonding with your lantern friend
00:20I think we're both very proud of the Grinner
00:23the monster that's opens its face
00:25Clowns added some spider legs
00:26I added those hatches
00:27it's just where you and me meet
00:33Before it was always a tedious process to 3D scan models
00:37but now we actually scan them with a regular iPhone
00:40which is kind of incredible I thought
00:41We also use thrift objects
00:43it can be like an old tea kettle that we break apart
00:45and build that into a house
00:47One of the first models which was actually Potboy
00:49this little character with a flame out of his head
00:51and we immediately started talking like
00:52what does that mean for gameplay, for story
00:54and it kind of wrote itself
00:56his flame is valuable
00:57and some want to take it from you
01:00others want to protect it
01:01there are these monsters that want to eat the fire
01:03some people almost find you holy
01:05some worship it even
01:07it's all about contrasts between everything from light and dark
01:10to scary and cozy
01:12Potboy is your respite between these horrific scenes where you're escaping monsters
01:17outsmarting monsters using fire or hiding
01:19It was designed so it could work really well with PSVR 2
01:22and then of course the PSVR 2 is unique
01:23because it has eye tracking
01:25and then we figured out it would be cool to have a horror game
01:27where you actually have to close your eyes
01:28and so PC and PlayStation 5
01:30we instead have of course buttons for closing your eyes physically
01:33so now you actually have ghost coming towards you
01:35but then it has eye on it
01:37which means if I close my eyes here
01:38I can actually wish it away
01:39it's really important that the game mechanics
01:41and the character designs fit together
01:43and that there's something interesting about that
01:44I think if you like games like Alan Wake 2
01:47or Little Nightmares
01:48it's kind of a blend of all those
01:50and Klaus usually pitched the game as
01:51Moomin meets Resident Evil
01:53of course we're both suckers for Miyazaki movies too
01:56and we do kind of have our own house moving castle in the game
01:59it follows you along the Midnight Walk
02:00and it's where you keep your collectibles
02:02so the Midnight Walk is coming to PS5 and Steam
02:05but you can also play it in VR
02:06both on PC and PS5
