Source notes
This independent guide combines official store details with attributed walkthrough and completion-time estimates. It is a research summary, not a first-hand review or a personal speedrun record.
What this game is
The Midnight Walk is a first-person adventure from MoonHood, published by Fast Travel Games. It launched on 8 May 2025 for PS5, Windows (Steam), PS VR2, and PC VR. Nintendo Switch 2 followed on 26 March 2026. There is no combat. You carry a flame, sneak, hide, and later light fuses from a distance.
The world is built from more than 700 scanned clay models. The sun is out. Residents have been fighting over fire. You wake as the Burnt One, deaf and blind at the start, and walk Potboy toward Moon Mountain. VR is optional. Flat play is the default on every platform that sells it.
If you only have tonight
Buy it from a store that actually sells it. Published estimates put how long The Midnight Walk takes at around 4–6 hours for the story and 6–10 for completionist play; a trophy roadmap estimates about seven hours for platinum. All six chapters have their own pages, with collectible counts. Sixteen trophies, seventy-six collectibles, two endings. Chapter select is on the main menu, so a missed figurine is not a new save.
If someone told you it is VR-only, that is wrong. The flat-play answer is the short version. PS Plus Extra and Premium added the PS5 catalog copy in October 2026.
