Hey, there, Octavi! I just ended up playing this game of yours as well, and... thank you. No, really, thank you. That ending was just what I needed to go on with my life... 😑
That said, I have been having a couple of questions about your future games, and I hoped you could answer me:
1 - Is there any chance Midnight Scenes - The Highway gets the From the Woods treatment? I always felt like the story behind that game was interesting enough to warrant a sequel of its own, perhaps about Claire willing to find out what actually happened that night and ending up involved in some Government/Area 51 affair (like it seemed from the game)
2 - How is Booklice going? Because I saw some screenshots of it, and it really looked promising to me... also, it would be really nice to see something else from you and Susanna, other than Midnight Scenes
Well, that's it! Congrats again about this game, see you in the next one.
Our deepest apologies for the ending xD I hope you enjoyed the game overall though :)
We've been thinking for a while on doing a "remake" of Midnight Scenes 1 with a longer story. We can't promise anything at the moment but stay tuned! :)
Booklice was finally canceled, sadly. We worked very hard on it and it has a special place in our hearts, but it just wasn't working :/ We may try to revive it someday, using some of the main ideas, but it's not in our immediate plans.
I see... so sorry about Booklice, but very glad to hear there might be a chance for a Highway 2.0. About this game overall, of course I enjoied it! Thanks for the reply
This is a great little narrative horror game with fantastic art.
I can see why some people would have an issue with this game particularly with the pacing of the story, but I didn't mind it at all. Some people will see the things that happen between events as filler, but I see them as necessary to bring the player back into the world and help lower their guard for the next hit of tension.
Some people will cringe at the characters but people like this really do exist. The characters are very flawed and human in ways that we might not be willing to accept but these types of people exist all around us and this game sheds a light on that. If you're unconvinced that characters like this actually exist, go browse through Reddit for 5 minutes and you'll see.
In any case, it's a good game and you get to enjoy it for less than the price of a movie ticket. Get the game if you enjoy visual novels. If you're on the fence, just watch a playthrough. I would highly recommend my video, of course.

Thank you so much for the playthrough and the reviews! Much appreciated :)
We're so glad you enjoyed it overall.
So nice! Purchases it already just to support you (played at previous games). Are you also planning to make a MacOS version in the future?
Thank you so much for your support! I hope you enjoy it! :)
We may release it for Mac in the near future, but we can't say for sure yet.
No rush, thanks anyway!
