The Goodbye Note is another quality piece of work by Octavi and a fine addition to the Midnight Scenes series. While the ending has me a little confused, the game as a whole is fantastically crafted. From the dramatic and suspenseful music, to the subtle sounds of people talking in an area, the audio worked really well with everything that was going on. The art and animation is everything I've come to expect from the dev as well, with a lot of smooth character movements and era appropriate designs. The slight bulge of everything looking like it was on an old TV screen was a nice touch as well, and I love that the plane had strings on it.
I'm still loving everything about this series. The little attention to detail really sells it, but the story and gameplay are also great. Can't wait to see Episode 3!
Episode 2 was awesome! Loved episode 1 and waiting for hopefully another episode! The ending reminded me of something from Saints Row 4! Overall really eerie and interesting!
It's been quite a while since I saw a game from you and here you are with a sequel to Midnight Scenes.
Let me tell you something dude. It was spectacular!
Let's talk about the pros and cons of it though:
pros:
Really interesting story with a very nice plot twist near the end.
Beautiful pixelated art style. Not as good as The Librarian but it has nonetheless such an attention to detail that is dvine.
Perfect length and charm to it. Just like the first chapter, this one is short but really sweet. It truly feels like a show from the 60's or 70's. And while the first game had some creepy atmosphere and one was left questioning what happened, this one had 2 moments that really made me jump a bit. Perfectly timed scare and built of atmosphere.
Cons:
Not much to judge here but something I think would be interesting is to add more diversity to the gameplay. I can see that you have added some puzzles to diversify a bit but I think that adding a bit more of them or maybe even a combat system in one of the chapters would help to keep things fresh.
Great chapter and I think I will give you 5 dollars my man. You totally deserve them.
Thank you so much for your feedback and for your support!! <3
I'm really glad that you liked it overall and that the light jumpscares were effective :D. In a time were most horror games have plenty of scares, I knew they would ruin the game if they felt cheap.
When I release episode 3 early next year, I hope you enjoy it at least as much as this one! :)
Octavi! I'm a big fan! Last year I played The Highway and loved the spookiness, style, and story of it. When I saw that episode 2 came out, I was ecstatic to throw down another LP for one of your products! I really enjoyed The Goodbye Note and like how the story is something completely different from Claire's. I was curious if the new game was going to be related with older one in any way. Nope! New characters, new plot, and new daunting spookiness! I'm thrilled and can't wait for more.
Would love to play this game, but unfortunately I ran into two game-breaking glitches and gave up. First one was near the beginning after the intro, where it wouldn't let me past the dialogue on screen no matter what I clicked or pressed. Once I restarted and got past it, a second glitch populated where, after taking my seat on the plane, the hostess got stuck partway through her walk by me and ended up moonwalking in place, preventing me from continuing. Hopefully these bugs get squashed and I can see what the hype's all about, since I loved the first game :D
Huh, I knew about the first bug and I'm trying to solve it. The second one is quite weird and I'll have a look at it. Sorry for this bad experience but please, try again! I'm sure you'll have better luck next time :)
Still really love the Twilight Zone feeling from this series of games. Both games have been really good, cool little stories, and I look forward to seeing the next one. Really great work
This is amazing! It scared me so much with its jumpscare in the clean room scene and other scenes as well and I was nervous during the entire gameplay. I can’t wait to see the next episode when it arrives. 20 / 10!
Loved the first game and loved this one as well! Hope the devs continue to make these because I am a huge fan of the Twilight Zone! Thank you developer for making this, it is so much fun!
Hello there. For Midnight Scenes Episode 2, the content and idea is great and the game was shaped quite well by the character whom we were playing as and the fact that someone that we know (SPOILER) was the culprit was something that I did not expect to kudos to that :)!
However, to be frank, there was one part of the game that I did not really appreciate which was the long duration of conversations between the two chracters in the lab. I was actually quite bored and annoyed at it so maybe you can lessen the length of the conversation to give an overall better horror atmosphere of the game?
Anyway, here is the first part of my gameplay of this overall amazing game and I hope that I can recive some support. Thank you :).
Was very excited to see this game up for download. I was looking forward to another episdoe of Midnight scenes. I literally feel like i'm playing a Twilight Zone video game! I hope that's a great compliment to you as, I know Midnight Scenes is heavily inspired by the show. I hope you keep cranking out episodes of Midnight Scenes. It's been a year since we got the first episode. I'm sure they are hard to make but, it was well worth the wait!You are very talented with this series that I hope it grows!
I absolutely loved the first Midnight Scenes when I played it a year ago for a big Halloween "five scary games in one video" thing, and I was so super lucky to find out the sequel was out on practically the same day as I decided to play more short games for the rest of October.
I ran into a very weird glitch in the very beginning where it wouldn't let me pass the first line of dialogue, no matter what I clicked or pressed, but a quick reset fixed that, thankfully.
Either way, I love the improvements to the TV Show aesthetic, from the slight screen curve to the sponsored message at the beginning to, well, literally everything. I would LOVE to see a full "season" of sorts for this of a handful of episodes, similar to Stories Untold. I think it deserves it-
If you're interested, please watch my playthrough, and I'll be sure to tune in for the next installment.

Episode 1 was great, episode 2 is even better. We enjoyed it very much.
Here is a short video we made while playing:

Thoroughly enjoyed this! You nailed the Twilight Zone vibe. The art book was great too. Hope there will be many more episodes to come.
