Hi there! I'm sorry you're having issues running the game. I think it might be because it needs DirectX 11.1 which isn't compatible with Win7. Fortunately Microsoft released a patch to solve this problem:
This made me realize how old Win7 is and so I upgraded to Win10. The good news is the game runs now. But the bad news is that it runs so slow in VirtualBox it's not playable. Oh well. We're a Linux-only house here. Thanks for your help though.
I have an update for this. I was able to play Midnight Scenes Ep.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 with wine 3.0 and it worked perfectly. Interestingly, it wouldn't start at all on the same system with Proton 3.7 or 4.2. Possibly some config issues. The machine also has NVidia GTX 860M.
The cutscene is fine, as is the field with scarecrow and truck, and home in the beginning. However the screen where she leaves the car and cuts the wire is just purple apart from the sprites. Can't see anything else
This game was really interesting, the visuals were great and the story had a nice build up. Not to mention that the sound track fits really well with the overall atmosphere of the game. Keep up the great work man, can't wait to try out more of these!
Hi There I just played your game it was truly a nice experience for me to play. I really liked the Twilight Zone story setting that you put into this game and along with it's soundtrack as well. Overall this game was fantastic, and I hope you make more games just like this one
Hi! I wonder if you are interested in localizing the game into other languages like Chinese? I'm a grad student studying Translation and Localization in Middlebury Institute of International Studies, and would very much like to internationalize and localize Midnight Scene for free as a school project!
Enjoyed the game, it was nice and short, I didn't spend forever wandering around trying to figure out what to do, and I liked the Twilight Zone-like atmosphere you set. 8/10
Thoroughly delightful game! Enjoyed every second of it even if it did make me jump a couple of times! Great atmosphere created from the soundtrack and the art style was just stunning! Can't wait to play episode 2! :D
This game was really good! I enjoyed the simple puzzles the game offered and I also appreciated the eerie atmosphere throughout the play through. I was constantly asking "what happened?" and "what's going on?" Not many mainstream games in this specific genre do that for me and it was nice seeing a game from an indie dev accomplish this. If you are having doubts about playing this game, I'm telling you that you don't have to worry about it. I recommend you play this game. It'll be worth it!

Hey ! I love your dark , awesome games ! Really great style !! I'am organizing a small gaming event at the end of this month and i was wondering if you would be interested in showing your games there ? Its called The Overkill Festival ( www.theoverkill.nl ) Let me know mail is : aike@theoverkill.nl greets !
I just wanted to say that I loved your little game and I really enjoyed playing it 💖 Here’s a full playthrough that I recorded for my YouTube channel 😊
I really enjoyed playing this game the pixel art style is really well and i really liked the fact that its inspired by the twilight zone can't wait to play episode 2!
I truley loved this game and await more with great anticipation. Thinking back I can't think of any constructive criticism, it was well thought out, the jump scares were good and the game itself is super atmospheric. Can't wait to play the next one when I have time and more after that!
This game is awesome! The pixel art is beautiful, the whole theme of the game is so nostalgic, and the twist at the end was entertaining! Disappointed that I didn't find out about it until now, but I'm hyped for Episode 2, which I'll be playing shortly.
If you haven't gotten sick of the multitude of let's plays people have made of this game, here's mine... :P
loved every little detail this episode reminded me of a cross between the twilight zone and stranger things! Cant wait to play episode 2 ill be playing it tonight cant wait to see the next short story!
This game brings me so many memories of when I watched Twilight Zone with my dad. I like how when you interact with objects and the scenes, you get some answers and a lot of questions from what you’ve seen and try to come up on what happened. I felt sorry for the boy and father, but I don’t know about the mother since she’s not there. I’ll be playing the second episode! 10 /10
This is a great game overall. I feel that maybe it could have been more scary and horrifying and I hope that a little more information could have been given regarding about the death of the boy. Anyway, it is an amazing game. Thank you and please support my channel.
Thanks for the game. Twilight Zone type mysteries are always fun. Had a bit of trouble at one point like I typically do in point & clicks. Watch my Twitch playthrough.

This game won't run on Windows 7 with DirectX 11 installed. It complains that it needs DirectX 9.0c or later. Any ideas?

Just to let you know, I still use Windows 7 and the game runs perfect on it. I think you need to install the provided patch.
