First... whoa. Between the mood crafted by the graphics and music and the creative visualization sparked by the journal questions, this game felt meditative. I found it surprising and enjoyable... and I loved how the flow of the questions created a story/journey.

I did! I saw at least one typo (it's instead of its), but nonetheless, I really enjoyed The Walk. I'm definitely going to replay when I'm in a different mood and see how the results differ.

Typo?! Where?

I'm glad you liked it. The results will vary pretty wildly depending on your mood.

I'll go back and screencap it as soon as I can---along with any more, should they exist.

Excellent!
-- That's exactly what I was aiming for -- to induce a meditative, almost hypnotic state so that the player could actually dream awake, then guide them on a journey through their own subconscious.

Yay! I'm glad you liked it.

Screenshots:

Gasp! A typo!

Besides this sort of minor typo---I think I saw something like "the an building" as well---I noticed that some passages contained extra spaces. I don't know if these were intentional, though. Some of the sentences could have been better written or punctuated (I know the capitalization was intentional), but they're not game-ruining. I just notice these things. Heh . . .

Solitude.

I would have written the last part as: "This does not mean that you don't like the company of other people. You're merely extremely selective in your choice of companions."

Glass or ice?

"Winter signifies a very Mature and reserved outlook. You prefer to keep one step back from the world at large, viewing those around you through a pane of glass---or is it ice?"

The missing period.

This last one speaks for itself. I have other quibbles with the text as it's presented, but these fall under the "I wish this were better written or punctuated" part of my post.

I hope these help! :)

They did indeed!

With as much text as this game uses, it was pretty much a guarantee that we missed things. Not your fault! This game uses a dizzying array of text combinations.

Okay, so it wasn't "the an building." It's a similar typo, though.

The a clearing in the trees.

Again.

Punctuation trouble and a run-on.

More punctuation trouble.

Subject-verb agreement.

I'm sure this isn't everything, but hopefully these give you a good idea of the tiny problems I've seen. (Why do I do this? I'm nuts.)
