✦ AI summary
Players praise Midnight Scenes for its excellent storytelling, atmospheric horror, and spooky narrative that effectively continues the series while showing improvement in the developer's craft. However, some criticize the game for removing gameplay elements in favor of a fully linear experience, and others take issue with what they perceive as heavy-handed political messaging that detracts from the horror atmosphere.
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.1 found this helpful
Really good and super spooky. Really enjoyed how it tied two games together, as I thought we were just going to be left hanging with the prior game.1 found this helpful
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
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.
