Midnight Scenes: From the Woods

The real "horror" of this game are the lifestyle choices of the protagonist. Wish this s**t would be kept out of gaming. Younger gamers play this stuff as it looks all cartoony and cute. Absolutely no need for it. Parents - don't let your kid play this.

Could have been a great game like the previous installments, but this one made two grave mistakes: going fully linear, no actual gameplay whatsoever, and kneecapping the game with yet another dime a dozen weak, woke, implausible politically activist sob story.

The best of the Midnight Scenes games. It also might be the longest clocking in at an hour or so. It's cool to see the improvement in the dev's storytelling/style over the course of the series. If you like short, simpler narrative games I highly recommend this one.

Midnight Scenes: From the Woods is a short but remarkably effective psychological horror adventure that favors mood, storytelling, and unsettling imagery over elaborate gameplay systems. Developed by White Blanket Games and published by Octavi Navarro, it continues the anthology-like approach of the Midnight Scenes series, presenting another self-contained supernatural tale that feels like an episode from an old mystery television show. Its roughly 60-to-90-minute duration makes it a small experience, but the concentrated pacing works in its favor, allowing the story to establish its characters, build tension, and reach its disturbing conclusion without unnecessary padding. The story takes place at Fernwood Creek Mental Health Center and follows Elijah, a young boy struggling with anxiety while enduring cruel treatment from other residents. Things begin changing when an unusual new patient arrives. The stranger refuses to speak, remains detached from those around him, and clearly carries something troubling beneath his quiet exterior. Elijah nevertheless develops a connection with him, and their relationship becomes the foundation for a mystery that gradually moves from uncomforta…

This one is a bit longer then the first few games in this series and i think that was pretty good to flesh out the story a bit more. The art and story were really amazing this time but if you haven't played The Nanny first you are missing out since this is a direct sequel to that but you don't have to play it to understand what is going on. The music was really atmospheric with the songs and sound effects helping the scares. The only slightly negative thing is a few of the sound effects i feel didn't fit the feel of the story but they were more hidden so it's not that big of a deal. I would still very much recommend this game 9/10!

easily my fav game out of the Midnight Scenes series, delivers perfectly in what youd expect out of a point and click story game
