Patch #4: News, updates, bug fixes and improvements to the game
Greetings, all. It has been a while since the last update, and quite a few things have happened behind the scenes. Firstly, Yahaha and I have decided to part ways. This means…




Welcome to Midnight Special, a point-and-click survival horror game drenched in 16-bit pixel art and 1980s retro dread. On a thunderous night in 1987 in Maine, you awaken in a labyrinthine manor. You must click, explore, and solve puzzles to escape. Will you go gentle into that good night?
The gory thrills of giallo, the suspense of slashers, and the otherworldly charm of 70s and 80s sci-fi.
We're thrilled to bring you a chilling adventure that blends cinematic horror with the nostalgic vibes of '90s 16-bit games.
After waking from the nightmare and answering the mysterious phone call, Sarah can unlock manual saving by interacting with the cigarette pack in the kitchen.
How to use it: In your inventory, drag the cigarette onto the lighter to bring up the save menu.

Midnight Special is a point-and-click survival horror experience that echoes the spirit of '90s classics like Clock Tower and Resident Evil. Set in the late '80s at Boyd Manor, you step into the shoes of Sarah, a babysitter tasked with watching over Jon and Ellie Boyd for the night.
What begins as an ordinary evening takes a sinister turn.
The power goes out, plunging the house into pitch-black darkness. With each step, reality twists into something far more disturbing.
Bizarre phone calls, a deranged stalker perhaps?
Unpleasant odors seeping up from the floorboards.
Objects moving on their own as if possessed.
A life-sized plastic dinosaur that seems... alive.
Has Sarah lost her mind? Or has something far more sinister taken root?


Classic Point-and-Click Survival Horror
Explore a foreboding environment filled with chilling surprises, puzzles to solve, and secrets to uncover.
A Tribute to Retro Horror
Influenced by '70s and '80s horror cinema and '90s gaming, Midnight Special blends nostalgia with heart-pounding suspense.

If you're a fan of:
