Once Daniel receives the key to the churchyard by solving various puzzles, he makes his way to the Church Grim, who shows him a strange, ethereal world. The Church Grim is the player's final destination. The player must follow it through a dark bunker in order to get the key to the churchyard.Ĭhurch Grim: The spirit of an animal that has been sacrificed at the altar of an ancient church. It has strong associations with death and disease, as well as with greed and hunger. Night Raven: This undead carrion bird is a little harder to pin down. Myling wish to be reunited with their mothers. However, if you hear one crying for help and ignore it, it will probably kill you. Like the other mythological figures, Myling are not necessarily evil. Myling: The spirit of an infant who was murdered by its mother or caretaker. The player must help the brook horse find the ghosts/spirits of four dead infants ("Myling") so that he can take them to the afterlife. It is sometimes depicted much like the ferryman of greek mythology, carrying the spirits of the dead into the great beyond. The brook horse is not entirely evil, though. The player must follow her voice and use clues from a creepy wooden doll in order to solve her puzzle.īrook Horse: A water-dwelling horse that lures children onto its back and then drowns them. Once they are lost, she will either marry them or kill them. Like a cloud of will-o-the-wisps, she lures men into the woods with her ethereal voice and beauty. The challenges the player must face along the way are embodied in five figures of Swedish folklore: Many who attempt the Year Walk die in mysterious ways. If the walker is successful, he will see a glimpse of the future.
Daniel decides to go on a "year walk," or a traditional Scandinavian vision quest through the woods, culminating in an encounter with the Church Grim. Because of Daniel's low status, Stina will not leave her fiance to be with him. Stina, the woman he loves, is engaged to another man. Year Walk tells the story of Daniel Svensson, a 19th-century Swedish man who is in an unfortunate situation.
