Midnight Special is a new Clock Tower-Inspired Survival Horror Game Releasing Next Week On Steam
Inspired by the cult-classic Clock Tower series, Midnight Special revives the golden age of 90s horror gaming, blending it with the visceral aesthetics of Italian Giallo cinema, the dread-filled tempo of classic slasher films, and the surreal undertones of 70s and 80s sci-fi horror. Players will navigate a tense and twisting narrative through atmospheric environments, solve puzzles under pressure, and evade a relentless killer whose identity is as mysterious as their methods are brutal.Scared Stupid Inc., in collaboration with publisher Yahaha Games, is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Midnight Special , a chilling point-and-click survival horror game launching May 8, 2025 on Steam.
Inspired by the cult-classic Clock Tower series, Midnight Special revives the golden age of 90s horror gaming, blending it with the visceral aesthetics of Italian Giallo cinema, the dread-filled tempo of classic slasher films, and the surreal undertones of 70s and 80s sci-fi horror. Players will navigate a tense and twisting narrative through atmospheric environments, solve puzzles under pressure, and evade a relentless killer whose identity is as mysterious as their methods are brutal.
With stylized violence, psychological dread, and pixel-perfect panic, Midnight Special pays homage to horror's past while carving out its own terrifying future. You play as Sarah, a babysitter hired to care for the twins - Jon and Ellie - at the eerie Boyd Manor. A late-night power outage triggers a series of supernatural events: mysterious phonecalls, unpleasant odors seeping up from the floorboards, objects moving on their own, and a giant plastic dinosaur toy that seems alive.
As the line between reality and hallucination blurs, you must solve puzzles through point-and-click exploration, evade lethal pursuits, and uncover the dark truth behind the manor.
