Midnight Special

I just finished the game and it was such a unique, intense experience. The atmosphere, story, and presentation really stand out. I knew from the start this game would be something special—and it absolutely delivered. Huge respect to the devs!

Going to play this now :)   upload on my YT channel ....looks great 

The story manages to be sophisticated yet not rigid, which I really appreciate. I wonder how many branching paths there are in total—hopefully it's the kind of game where different choices lead to different endings, rather than everything funneling into a single conclusion

This is great timing because I’m obsessed with pixel art - I’m definitely going to have to give this game a try!

Really need to be supported playing with a controller. I'm so into it.

The official account I often follow released this game, so I came to take a look. I searched for some blogger videos on YouTube, but overall I felt that there was no big climax to play.

I played for around 20 minutes, then had to leave.  Game had a Load selection so I thought it would autosave, but alas no.  It felt like I was just a servant, doing what everyone asks or expects and that ultimately ends up being boring.

At first, I was drawn in by the cover—it looked like a retro mini-game. After downloading the demo, I realized it was actually a puzzle game. But the demo was a bit too short; I didn’t even get a proper feel for the main storyline...

This demo instantly brought back the fun of classic point-and-click adventures! The puzzles are cleverly designed, and the art style is full of nostalgic charm - I completely lost myself in it.

If I had to suggest one improvement, it'd be great to optimize the inventory interaction. There's a slight delay when clicking items that occasionally breaks the puzzle-solving flow. That said, the overall experience is fantastic, and I encountered no game-breaking bugs or stuck points.

Can't wait to see how the full story unfolds - keep up the great work!

This game has an art style very similar to Clock Tower, and the overall storyline is decent. I'm a bit curious to see the full version and find out what ultimately happens to the children.

Midnight Special is a short but well-crafted horror game with an incredibly immersive atmosphere. The pixel-art visuals and eerie soundtrack instantly pull you into its unsettling midnight train setting. While the jump scares aren’t particularly original, a few scenes genuinely got me—especially the first time I encountered that thing…

The puzzles aren’t too difficult but require careful observation of the environment, making it great for exploration-focused players. The story is fragmented, leaving you to piece together clues yourself—a narrative style I really enjoyed. That said, the ending felt a bit abrupt, and I wish there was more content to expand on it.

As for flaws, the controls can feel a bit clunky at times, and sprinting doesn’t always respond smoothly. The game is also quite short, taking roughly an hour to finish. But considering it’s free, the overall experience is definitely worth a try!

Really enjoyed my time with Midnight Special! I have a few beefs, but since this is still in incubation, I am excited to see what's next! Will definitely be playing this when it's completed.

I like this game so much. I came here from the anchor's explanation. I look forward to the day when the author puts it on the shelves.

thank you so much for making this test demo there's a lot of potential for this game I really enjoyed it the art styles absolutely beautiful there were a couple of glitches like if I had the lighter on in the forest the game will tell me to turn on the lighter so I turn it off and then turn it back on but then the main character gets stuck she can't interact or walk she's literally stuck but if I go back to that section and turn off the lighter and then the game tells me to turn it on then it will work and I can continue playing it's hard to describe it I showed most of the glitches in my Let's Play video I did so you can see it there to understand what happened if I'm not explaining it the best but besides that there was rarely any glitches I thought the game was overall pretty good and I'm really excited to see more of it it's really good and I just I really enjoyed the demo so thank you Developers for making this game and making the test demo and I wish you all the best luck on finishing your project and I'm excited to see more of Midnight Special

here's my Let's Play video of Midnight Special if anyone's interested watching and the glitches I talked about in my review if I couldn't explain it super well then hopefully the video will show it much better than me explaining it

WOW JUST WOW
I CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE OMFG

I loved this demo!! The art style is fantastic, and it had a great atmosphere. Very excited to see it when its out of development!

This game is incredible and worth it for the amazing sprite art alone! Especially If you loved horror games growing up like Clock Tower, this is an absolute MUST for any horror fan!

Great nostalgic point and click horror game.

Still in development but has amazing atmosphere and lots of potential.

Looking forward to future updates and a full release.
