What an awesome continuation of Midnight Scenes! Im a tad late to the party, but so glad I tried it out! I have SO many questions and had so much fun! Can't wait until your next creation, Octavi! :D
Hello gamegenie, that's a weird error. Apparently, the game can't find the Mono.dll file that is included with the game. The fact that both Steam and itchio versions have the same issue, makes me think that maybe your antivirus or Parallels are blocking the file. One thing to try would be to uninstall the game, install it again, and put a rule on your firewall to allow the program to run before launching it. Let me know if it works. If we can't find a solution we'll make sure to refund the game to you. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hey! I had this same issue on Parallels and found a fix. Make sure to open the package on Windows instead of Mac first, I guess Mac didnt read the mono.dll file or something because it was missing and now it isnt.
This game is SO cool! It's like I'm a child again and watching The Tales From The Crypt for the very first time. Thank you so much for a good nostalgic moment!!
Seriously, who doesn't love this series of games? Inspiring ! Best bite-sized horror games on Itch or anywhere else!
P.S. Just finished it. No spoilers but I decided I would have to throw my underwear away, there's no way I am ever going to get that pair clean enough to put on again. The ending of this one was a shocker, very creepy.
This was my favourite episode by far! The story was paced so well, it constantly raised the stakes without getting ridiculous and was a genuinely interesting take on some folklore concepts that doesn't tread the same ground as others, the aesthetic was on point as always and the game looked fantastic. I'll be waiting eagerly for anything else you release! Have a great day :)
I absolutely enjoyed the short horror game, Nanny. I loved the creepy depressing reality from the kids point of view. I'm a fan of your work. Other Midnight Series, The Librarian and The Supper are also highly recommended. I also translated the story verbally so that my Japanese viewers understand it. I'm looking forward to the next game!
I am genuinely shook! 😱 This was the PERFECT adventure game to play on Halloween night. Great story, artwork and atmosphere - really pulled me in. I'm not too proud to admit I screamed like a little girl at a few points - you got me! 😅 Excellent work, as always Octavi (+team) 😉👍
This was such a good installment. There’s a lot of story here that kept me wondering. Like why the parents bought a house in such a unique locale. With the artwork in the house it would seem, on the surface, that such a couple would want to live elsewhere. Then again if they REALLY like exotic art…hm. I also wondered if something might be up with that neighborhood itself (Tina’s squirrel story…I believe it! Haha).
The puzzles were simple and direct, and you gave enough details to add texture to the world of “The Nanny” without info dumps. I enjoyed the art quite a bit and I liked the little nods to things from the 80s but truly enjoyed how you put your individual spin on them instead of parodying them.
This was hecking amazing, you two. I loved the story and the environments, THAT ending messed with my head, that was cinematic storytelling. I don’t have anything else to say, keep on keeping on.
To everyone else: buy this, it’s a fantastic little game that’ll give you the heebiejeebies.
RUN AND HIDE! A different take on the series! I like it very much. Also I didn't know it was on steam. The story in this one was great and the different characters personalities brought it to life!
A new release from you has turned into something of an event for me, but especially a new Midnight Scenes, and this definitely didn't disappoint! I thought this was a step up from the previous entries in terms of basic presentation. All of the little touches like the slug crawling around the rock, the change in the painting, these made it all feel more immersive and lived in.
And I love how even before the implication of a larger mystery and a likely continuation of the story, I was feeling that this was the precipice of something deeper. Questions arose in my mind such as, "Wait, is that the same chocolate bar?" Also, I liked the thematic introduction of "doubles" as the merest hint that we were about to see something like this.
Great work! I get more excited about your future output with every game.
Let me just say, I have been a fan of your work since I first found the initial Midnight Scenes episode a while back. Since then, the only game of yours I have still yet to play is The Librarian, and eventually I most certainly will get around to it.
I admit I was a bit surprised to see this entry take such a big departure from the Twilight Zone / Outer Limits inspired look of the others, being more 80'ies horror inspired and in color... and then I remembered other versions of Twilight Zone than the 60ies one exists, and it makes a bit of sense after all, hah.
In seriousness, I like this one. Less focus on point and click puzzling, and feels more "directed" in how it takes its time, sets up scenes and naturally leads you to the next bit of the story. All while remaining just explained enough to be intriguing, but not enough to give you every answer.
Your pixel art is gorgeous as always too, and it just all adds up to an awesome experience. Really loved this one, and I'll be hanging on eagerly for a potential epsiode 4. Great stuff.
Hi! I was trying to play, and the game was running laggily, and eating up all my CPU. Are there any launch options that might help, perhaps setting the max framerate or something?
Thanks! I'm really looking forward to playing the game, I've been waiting excitedly for a while!
Hi! I'm so sorry about the issue. Could you share your machine specs, please? It's something we need to investigate. There are no launch options, but it shouldn't be a problem.
Hi Octavi! This likely won't be a high priority issue to investigate, as I was actually running the game in Arch Linux using Wine 6.16 (which is how I had played the previous Midnight Scenes episodes). Since that's not the actual platform that the game was released for, I don't at all hold you accountable for it, it's on me for running the game in an odd way, hence my asking about launch options as I was attempting to debug it myself. If you do happen to be interested, however, I can share my machine specs and whatever log files I can generate.
Thank you for the quick response, and the fun games!
Thank you for letting me know! This one is a bit more graphics-intensive than the other two games, so that might be the problem. If the game is successful we plan to port it to other platforms including Linux, so stay tuned!
ah, i loved this! i adored the other episodes too, so i knew i had to buy it as soon as i saw a new episode was out!
anyways, the aesthetics of this little game were really nice, really fit the '80s setting, and the soundtrack was very fitting as well! i loved the childish, but very relatable banter between tina and oliver and the commentary oliver provided for the artwork in the house (yuck!) and the branches invading their garden. what will probably stick with me most is the ending! i thought it was really cinematic, really impressive. great job! i look forward to playing the next episode (if you plan on making another one, that is)!! :)

Bought on Steam instead, but I wanted to drop a review here and say that this game was fantastic! Best one yet.
Thank you Victor! I'm glad you liked it!
Feel free to leave a review on Steam as well, it really helps with sales! :D
In any case, thank you for playing the game! <3

Wow, thank you for your kind comment <3<3 I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Yay, another episode! This looks fantastic.
Octavi: Would you ever consider releasing your games on the Nintendo Switch? It would be the perfect platform for them imo :)
Thank you! :) Yes, if it's successful on PC it's something we definitely would like to do.
