Summary

  • Two games with ‘midnight’ in the title are being released today: Midnight Special and The Midnight Walk.
  • Midnight Special is a horror point-and-click game taking inspiration from 16-bit adventures, giallo, slasher films and 70s/80s sci-fi.
  • The player is a babysitter in 1978 Maine who must explore a labyrinthine manor in the game’s first episode, with the early access release out today.
  • The Midnight Walk is a first-person dark adventure where the player explores a clay world to help a chibi lantern brother called Potboy.
  • The world has gouged and shrunken surfaces alongside twitchy, stop-motion style creatures and insects with hinged facemasks.
  • Rock, Paper, Shotgun suggests players choose one game to further consider and possibly purchase, as invoking two midnights could have dire cosmic consequences.
