Descend into Madness: Unveil the Truth
As Sarah, a babysitter hired for a “quiet” gig at a remote estate, your night spirals into chaos. Solve puzzles, evade unspeakable horrors, and survive gunfights to escape a labyrinth where time warps and sanity frays.
This is no ordinary haunted house—the castle warps both space and mind. With its pixel-perfect dread and psychological twists, Midnight Special delivers an immersive, heart-pounding homage to golden-age horror, not only through its art designs, but also through its spine-tingling soundtrack and unnerving audio cues.
The latest demo is now free to play on Steam, and the game’s Early Access version is set to launch on May 8th, 2025. Wishlist now if you love classic horror games!
