The background of the game "A Year Walk/A Long Journey" is a private story that takes place in the ancient Nordic region.
In order to save the country from famine, plague and floods, the young knight Roland embarked on a very dangerous "long journey" with two good friends. Their knight mentor, Prince Edward, who had successfully completed the long journey, not only gave them his own weapons, but also protected them.
However, due to the rules of the ritual, the four of them must set off alone from different starting points at midnight. However, there are supernatural creatures hidden everywhere in the forest, and they always seem to be hostile to Roland...
