Midnight Scenes: A Safe Place

Awesome awesome game! I love Midnight Scenes!!

Its a heck of a story, still think about despite playing when it months ago when it came out because its just so damn dark and really found the niche that gets under my skin.

Plus I just realised why the monster has 3 'eyes' and I am now creeped the hell out again.

I've played ALL of the Midnight Scenes games so far... and this is actually my favorite and the most memorable in my opinion! I played the whole game here:

Your game was amazing ! And really disturbing... It's the first Midnight Scenes game that I played and I can't wait to play another game from you because it gave me chills.

GAMEPLAY in French

I love that you tried something new with this episode of Midnight Scenes, it was a big surprise and hit just the right spots. I am continuously in awe how you create these very real characters, from the character art to the dialog, it’s so much fun to spend time (well, considering …) with them. 

I also you think that you two are fantastic at pacing because this story could have been a slog (and there are games where it is) but you managed to work in enough changes and deviations to keep it engaging. 

Amazing work. As always.

Loved it! Beautiful pixel art, well-written characters, and the way the story built up to the final plot twist was so elegant. 

I wasn't familiar with your Midnight Scenes series, this one was just recommended to me, but now I think I have to check out the rest of them.

Got this on a whim on steam, ended up binging all of them.

Still love this one the most, just vibed with the story and art.

I’m here so I could gift it to a friend and now they have no excuse not to play. :>

Thank you for making this (and the others), it was a great experience.

What in the... I expected a little (maybe trashy) horrorgame but what I got was an absolute gem of a story about reallife tragedy. Well done. I´m definetely keeping an eye open for any future projects of yours. This was an absolute joy and terror in the best sense.

Gave it a Let's Play, kept me unsure of what 'Really' is going on til the end, its uncommon for most my theories to be wrong yet the answers were always there, good writing and pixel art

Another great story! 

Love the game :)

o man, I think this one hit the hardest out of Midnight Scenes so far! Play this until the end!!

Full Play NO Commentary

I have played a couple of your games over the years. Each one was great. This is the first one I have paid for; I played previous games while they were free. Each one before was excellent, and this one was worth every penny. Art, writing, sound, animation, all great! I thought I already understood the story--then, the masterfully executed twist. Prime horror! May you always have the freedom and support to create art!

The STRANGEST Pixel Game I’ve Ever Played.. | Midnight Scenes: A Safe Place

Another banger, the ending absolutely blew my mind. This was probably my favorite Midnight Scenes episode yet, followed closely by The Nanny. Always a pleasure playing this series!

How to load the game? I turned the game off and came back and clicked "load game" and nothing happens. 

This was my first time playing one of the Midnight Scenes games, and needless to say I will most definitely be checking out the others in this series.  The story was absolutely FANTASTIC, the characters relatable and easy to empathize with, and the graphics are chefs kiss.

Was this made in godot or unity just wondering. The game is beautiful looking and love the art and atmosphere. 

this is absolutely the best installment of midnight scenes yet! the visuals were striking from the start, the artwork is amazing and i felt truly immersed right away. and the story is phenomenal! not only was i excited to figure out what was happening, the ending completely caught me off guard. the story-telling overall was excellent and everything felt complete. plus the demons are cool.

i'm always excited for any and all midnight scenes games and this one knocked it out of the park. thank you for your work and i already can't wait for the next one! 

p.s. the straw doll was a very nice touch - it kind of made me feel like a detective, trying to piece these stories together :DD

What an end. Definitely the best writing in the series till date! Also a big fan of the the how the visuals were used. Only thing I'd say was that the user control i.e. the gameplay was a bit on the shorter side and wish we had more control over the actions.

Regarding the straw doll in the mailbox, was it just an easter egg (referring to the previous game) or was there something I missed?

Another amazing game in the Midnight Scenes and my god I was not expecting the ending of this game. It broke me a bit. Phenomenal work.

Always look forward to these, I think you all have outdone yourselves this time.

New to the Midnight Scene series, but I found this game to be absolutely chilling. Theorized about Phil and Piper a bit and the meanings behind the computer games. 

My favourite game series FINALLY has a new installment!

I absolutely love the storytelling of all Octavi Navarros games. The graphical style is really visually pleasing too. 

Big fan of how the latest 2 games have been longer (roughly 90 mins).

Check out my gameplay

Powerful stuff, and that reveal felt very earned. I don't know if this was my favorite entry so far, but it was definitely the most narratively sophisticated. The character writing on these lately has been straight-up literary.

THANK YOU SO MUCH OCTAVI  NAVARRO FOR ANOTHER MASTERPIECE. ON MY TOP 12 OF YEAR .

What a great evening spent playing this one. Horror, intrigue and trauma in equal parts, creating another successful entry in the series.

This was so friggin fun!!! Omg I did not expect that ending wow , I love this series.

Hey there, I'm really looking forward to playing! I was wondering if there was an issue with the download? I'm trying to install the game but the download page isn't showing a file. I'll keep digging around on my end in case I'm missing something but I wanted to reach out and see if something happened to be up with the itch.io file. Thank you!!

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. 

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.
