Indie Game Pc Games Early Access Virtual Reality Gaming

The point-and-click survival horror game, "Midnight Special," developed by Scared Stupid Inc and published by Yahaha Games, is now available on Steam. The game officially launched on May 8, 2025, priced at $9.99 USD with a 20% launch discount for the first two weeks.

"Midnight Special" combines retro pixel aesthetics with a psychological thriller narrative, drawing inspiration from classic survival horror games like "Clock Tower" and "Resident Evil." Players take on the role of Sarah, a babysitter in the eerie Boyd Manor, where a power outage triggers supernatural events. As reality and hallucination blur, players must solve puzzles, evade lethal pursuits, and uncover the dark truth behind the manor.

The game's unique atmosphere is created through hand-drawn and pixel art, cinematic camera movements, 90s-inspired UI, and meticulously crafted environments. The Early Access version includes a full episode, with future updates planned to expand the story and add new rooms for exploration.

"Midnight Special" is a must-play for survival horror fans, narrative-driven gamers, and pixel art enthusiasts. The developers, Scared Stupid Inc, are committed to polishing the game throughout Early Access based on community feedback. Get the game on Steam and follow Scared Stupid Inc and Yahaha Games on X/Twitter and Discord for updates.
