Indie game studio Scared Stupid Inc and publisher Yahaha Games today revealed a new demo and the official announcement trailer for Midnight Special, a point-and-click survival horror game.

Features: Where Retro Aesthetics Meet Modern Storytelling

• Classic Homage: Channels Clock Tower and Resident Evil with 16-bit pixel art and cinematic psychological tension.
• Point-and-Click Exploration: Scour environments for vital items—every object could save your life.
• Branching Storylines: Unravel the castle’s dark secrets through intertwined main quests and side missions.
• Dynamic Horror: Blurring reality and illusion, your choices shape multiple chilling endings.

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.
