The Night Boots

2024 · 12 min

A quiet, handcrafted night walk that feels like a bedtime story with a shadowed edge, eerie and tender at once.

Overview: The forest can be full of scary creatures, Eliot’s parents caution, but the mystery might be too tempting for a kid who doesn’t want to go to bed.
How it feels: Eerie, melancholic, whimsical and warm. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, coming-of-age, fate, nature
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
