Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid here (the game is 2d there):
Advantages:
1. The style is awesome! So creepy and cool! I absolutely loved it! The scarecrow was spooky.
2. The story is creepy, it's a bit trivial but still pretty cool. It's interesting to interact with the world and the game builds the sense of suspension successfully.
Disadvantages:
1. Maybe it would be nice to add an actual enemy so the game would be scarier? Like a chase sequence at the end or a choice. A possibility of a bad outcome for the main character (I mean of an even worse outcome).
2. I wish that the episodes were longer and maybe with choices. At least 1 choice would be awesome to make and it makes the player want to re-experience the adventure.
Overall:
I enjoyed that a lot! Despite my critics, I think the game deserves a strong 5/5. Though, I wish that the next episodes would be even scarier)
I really thought this game (and this style) is something special, really was a treat to play, I'm dedicating a whole episode to the other Midnight Scene. For now this one lives in a small compilation I made!
This is really well done. You did a great job of capturing the Twilight Zone vibe. I couldn't help but think of Rod Serling narrating while I was playing this. Great game Octavi!
Octavi Navarro is so good at what he does- the more games I play of his the more I enjoy them! I look forward to his future content, and want to extend my thanks for his talent and hard work. I've made a video on each of his games and it is bittersweet to think I'll soon be making one over the last game I haven't played (Midnight Scenes 2)!
I don't post on here much, but I played through both episodes in one sitting, and I LOVE this series. Such a good art style, fun game play, and engaging storytelling. Just wanted to say thank you for creating something so cool.
Man... this game is so awesome that I dream about a complete series of full-length episodes with this artistic mastery and this subtle tension climax. Not to mention the perfect Twilight Zone vibe! Damn, I want a full length series so bad! ;)
Wow this was great short adventure. I definitely felt like wanting more. You did a great job with the pixel art and storytelling. I am looking forward to more from you! I think a whole series of these adventure would be epic.
This is 10/10, I wish it was longer but the story told was amazing and truth be told, it ended exactly where it should have as it left me wanting more (contradictory I know). I just realised you were part of the Thimbleweed park, and can completely see why this was such a hidden gem. LOVE IT
Midnight Scenes: The Highway may not go "all the way" in terms of scares or disturbing imagery, but it's Twilight Zone aesthetic and simple puzzles make it fun and enjoyable.
I have an old beat up 2010 Macbook that I installed Windows on so I can actually play games! :P So to other gamers that only have a mac, I highly recommend creating a partition (Boot Camp). If you haven't heard of it, basically that means you keep your regular mac operating system and can use that as normal (for web browsing or whatever) Buuuut, you also have the ability to switch to Windows whenever you want to download/play pc games. (You just choose whether you want to boot up into OS X or Windows whenever you power on your computer) It took me a few tries to set it all up correctly, but it was well worth it.
This is really well done, love the pixel art and small animations - makes for a great atmosphere overall. Very creative but still logical puzzles that are quickly solved but satisfying.
I LOVED this game so much! It had all the right elements of atmosphere, music, jump scares, puzzles -- it was great! I can't wait to play the rest! Amazing work
i really liked this game it was fun to just sit down and play i liked the puzzles they took some of the little brain power i have but weren't too hard the audio was also really good it just put some of the scenes together i also liked the story looking forward to playing episode 2.

If you wanted to be apart of a mini twilight zone episode I definitley recomend this spooky game!
This is really well done. You did a great job of capturing the Twilight Zone vibe. I couldn't help but think of Rod Serling narrating while I was playing this. Great game Octavi!

Love this developer's work!
I love the black and white mood so much!!
OHH MY GOD!! THATS A NICE GAMEE.... LOVE YOU FROM INDONESIA :)))
I'm still waiting for the new episode!!! :)
Sweet game! Will you be making more? I hope so.
so intrigued by this game and ready to play the next episode... many thanks to you for giving me the creeps!!
For some reason this game needs to be updated for it to work on my mac, is it not optimized for macos catalina?
It only works on 32bit MacOS, sorry. Developing for Catalina requires a yearly fee and expensive hardware, which made me decide against it.
I have a random suggestion, feel free to ignore:

Loved it! very creepy but intriguing!
This game was great and for the first time in a long time I couldn't wait to get to the sequel.
That was a really interesting experience. I hope there's more soon!
