What players say
The best of the Midnight Scenes games. It also might be the longest clocking in at an hour or so. It's cool to see the improvement in the dev's storytelling/style over the course of the series. If you like short, simpler narrative games I highly recommend this one.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Really good and super spooky. Really enjoyed how it tied two games together, as I thought we were just going to be left hanging with the prior game.
Could have been a great game like the previous installments, but this one made two grave mistakes: going fully linear, no actual gameplay whatsoever, and kneecapping the game with yet another dime a dozen weak, woke, implausible politically activist sob story.
