A downloadable game for Windows

🎮 THE MIDNIGHT MAN — DEMO

You won’t see him.

But you will feel that he’s there.

The Midnight Man is a psychological first-person horror experience focused on darkness, tension, and the fear of the unknown.

There are no monsters chasing you — only sounds, shadows, and the growing feeling that you are not alone.

Explore a dark environment where every noise matters.

Listen carefully. Stay calm. And try to keep your mind together as the night becomes more and more disturbing.

The horror comes from what you hear, what you think you saw, and what your imagination creates in the darkness.

This was the third game I played in a stream, I will say that after understanding the strategy, the game was a bit too easy. I would certainly try to create obstacles so that way its harder to survive the night, such as sudden moments where the candle is snuffed out so you are forced to use a match, making the matches harder to spot, or illusions that mess with the time limit, making it slower or losing an hour when confronting them. Because most of the game I was pacing around the map and won with several matches to spare. I do apologize if I am coming off as harsh, that's not my intention, I just think there needs to be more of  a challenge.
