This one, like the very first episode, had a great story, can’t wait to go forward into the story.
5/5
Another really fun point and click game with a lot longer story and improvements from the first game! Can’t wait to continue with the series!
Thank you so much for your playthroughs! So glad you're enjoying them!
You're about to enter the second "era" of Midnight Scenes, where the games are much more narrative and crazy :) I hope you like them as well!
Looking forward to it! You'll see those videos up soon!
There's a reason I played all the episodes in wuick succession. What a series!

Another banger from Octavi. This one went even further beyond than their previous episode. Style, theme, and story were very well done. Great job!

What a fun story! I really like the added touches to make it seem even more like the TV shows that inspired this series.

take back the tales, visions, and experiences of the past as often more substantial than the modern retelling
a new familiar yet repeatable imitation of a great series, the anthologies of imagination spur into farther dark narrative passage
zones falling from words as twilight escapes towards a gallery of night, the voice we admire

I really enjoyed this game and enjoyed streaming it even though I am not a huge sci-fi fan.
Thank you for streaming them! I'm glad you enjoyed them both :)

Thank you! <3<3
I picked up this game as part of the Ukraine Bundle. Thanks for participating. Check out the video.
Thanks for your support!!! <3<3
This was amazing experience, again. It's longer, it has an interesting story, it makes sense, and oh my, the reveal at the end... so creepy!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Really really enjoyed the story in this episode, really fit the theming of the piece and was a joy to sit through
Thank you so much! <3<3
I liked your game very much! It is apparent that you have put your soul in it. What is your game engine?
Thank you so much! <3 I use Unity
your graphics look very well made also. Do you design them by yourself?
RICHARD WE WILL RETUN YOU TO LOVE BROTHER! Another great game you made! Also the notebook from Coleman glitched. Other then that I enjoyed the whole experience.
Thank you! I'm so glad you enyojed them. Stay tuned for a 3rd episode, coming very soon ;)
Oooh yay!
Thnaks for this eerie endearing experience I loved it !
<3<3
The inspiration from 60's horror TV shows is perfect for these types of games. I did notice an issue in the second episode where I couldn't continue past the first text screen but a simple restart fixed the issue anyway. They both have a nice creepy feel to the environments and kept me interested in the stories.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! <3<3<3
I love this mini series, games like this are normally out of my paygrade but you make it much more intriguing with the stories. Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you!! :)
dude i literally keep having to watch tutorials for certain parts of this game because I'm so damn stupid. I cannot complete any damn games because im so idiotic. I'm seriously starting to wonder if something is wrong with me. It's not just these games. It's all puzzel games.
everyone's brains work differently!
I knew it :D
:)
I loved this game so much!! Nice detail with the strings holding the plane, felt like watching The Twilight Zone. My new favorite games (with part one, of course) on itchio :)
Thanks for playing Florencia!! <3<3

Just finished Playing the second episode and really like the twilight zone outer limits vibe a good follow up to episode 1. I hope there are more episodes to come.
My gameplay
Thank you for your kinds words! Stay tuned for news ;)
Hi ! The kind of game that pushes you to make your own... Writing, atmosphere, gameplay. In french : "Bravo" :) Is there more episodes to come ?
Thank you for playing! Stay tuned for news ;)
I played the original Midnight Scenes and quite enjoyed it, so naturally gave this one a try. Episode Two is slightly longer, and has its own story. Much like the first, the dev has done a good job creating something creepy and atmospheric, with a distinct 1950s aesthetic. Overall, very good.
For some reason I can't interact with the game. At the very beginning I can't make it move on to the rest of the text, can someone please help me.
I love your games!
Holy heck, did I not expect the story would go there. Like the first, it's a fantastic little game, but I'd wager it's even better than the first. It's a great blend of Sci-Fi and Horror, creating a cosmic cocktail of delight and chills. It's a bit longer than the first, and you can definitely see the enhancements in the gameplay and story telling, and what a story. That twist at the end, dear god that got me. If a third game ever comes, I can't wait to see what it might unfold.
Thank you <3<3
i need an explanation pleeeaassseeeee im so frigin curious abt the story :"""
No one on here wants to write an honest review cause they're all soys. anyways, was good until the unexplained and really anti-climactic ending and resolution. Who are the neighbors? What is Linda? What is her motive? If the prism thing was made by humans why is it suggested that the neighbors are something else. Overall worse than the first one, gameplay is perfectly fine. 4/10
Still going through all of your awesome games :)
No Commentary
Thank you! <3
I just showed this to my girlfriend. We had a really nice time with your game. She thought it was great! Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
I just wanted to say: what a masterpiece. This game is really good! The ending got me by surprise. The storytelling, the characters, the puzzles that fits so well in the tale, well positioned. Anyway 10/10.
