The story starts with the protagonist, [[spoiler:Daniel Svensson]], meeting a girl, [[spoiler:Stina Nilsson]], in a windmill. She tells him that, though she is fond of him, she has been asked to marry someone else, and she has promised to give her suitor her answer the coming year... and the current day is last of the old year. Though the question of making a year walk is brought up, she adamantly refuses, reminding the protagonist what happened to her cousin as a reason for why they should not do anything foolish. This motivates the protagonist to go on a year walk, a tradition that will supposedly show him what his future holds, all on his own.

* FromBeyondTheFourthWall: The secret of how to open the box from the beginning of the game is never told to the playable character, only to the player. This is, of course, enough for the playable character to be able to open the box.

* PaintingTheMedium: Has traces of this in some of the puzzles. For example, [[spoiler:in the iOS verion, when one is looking for the Mylings, one of them hides off-screen and the player has to forcefully scroll the stage beyond what s/he normally can to get it. Another one of the Mylings hides under the screen, the only indication of it being there is blood dripping upwards, and in order to get it, the player has to turn his/her tablet upside down... In the PC version, one of the Mylings is hidden in the Myling's page in the Encyclopedia and another his hidden in the kiln. However, one cannot open the kiln due to two blocks with the letters "U" and "N" securing its locks. What to do? Hint: The key to opening the kiln is, indeed, keys... That's to say, you have to press the "U" and "N" keys on your keyboard.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Script writer Jonas Tarestad and Simogo developer Simon Flesser originally intended ''Year Walk'' to be a movie and the first suggestions to turn it into a game were more in jest than anything else. But the thought grew on both of them and they eventually basically rewrote the entire script so that it would better suit the medium, keeping only the beginning and ending the same.

You Shouldn't Know This Already: Cheat Walk
Added DiffLines:
* YouShouldntKnowThisAlready: There are two puzzles--how to enter the Huldra's tree and how to enter the church--that you're ''supposed'' to solve by interacting with some other part of the game which will give you the correct "codes". The trope is averted in that you can bypass that and enter the codes immediately, if you already know them. The Steam version will reward this with a "Cheat Walk" achievement.

That said, he is equally guaranteed to die in the end]].
