Gameplay teaser from Midnight Special.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Inspired by the cult-classic Clock Tower series, Midnight Special revives the golden age of 90s horror gaming, blending it with the visceral aesthetics of Italian Giallo cinema, the dread-filled tempo of classic slasher films, and the surreal undertones of 70s and 80s sci-fi horror. Players will navigate a tense and twisting narrative through atmospheric environments, solve puzzles under pressure, and evade a relentless killer whose identity is as mysterious as their methods are brutal.<\/div>\n

Scared Stupid Inc., in collaboration with publisher Yahaha Games, is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Midnight Special<\/em>, a chilling point-and-click survival horror game launching May 8, 2025<\/strong> on Steam.<\/p>\n

Players will navigate a tense and twisting narrative through atmospheric environments, solve puzzles under pressure, and evade a relentless killer whose identity is as mysterious as their methods are brutal.<\/p>\n

With stylized violence, psychological dread, and pixel-perfect panic, Midnight Special<\/em> pays homage to horror’s past while carving out its own terrifying future. You play as Sarah, a babysitter hired to care for the twins – Jon and Ellie – at the eerie Boyd Manor. A late-night power outage triggers a series of supernatural events: mysterious phonecalls, unpleasant odors seeping up from the floorboards, objects moving on their own, and a giant plastic dinosaur toy that seems alive.<\/p>\n

As the line between reality and hallucination blurs, you must solve puzzles through point-and-click exploration, evade lethal pursuits, and uncover the dark truth behind the manor.<\/p>\n
