About this game
The Midnighters is a survival horror game for 1-4 players where you hunt for cursed treasures. Dark caves, abandoned tombs, and ominous mines await you. However, these treasures are no ordinary riches; each is hidden in the shadow of terrifying creatures and demonic entities.
IN PURSUIT OF CURSED TREASURES
Use your detector to find buried gold and valuable items, dig them up, and bring the loot to the surface. Then sell your fortune to buy new treasure maps and unlock increasingly dangerous areas. But beware: each level features ghosts and spirits with unique abilities waiting for you.
YOUR EYES CAN DECEIVE YOU
You cannot trust your eyes. Hallucinations may turn you against your friends, and the whispers you hear may confuse your mind. When one of your team falls, you can revive them and stand together against fear through solidarity. But if you don't act in time, the curse will fall upon all of you.
The night grows deeper. Gather the treasures, confront your fears, and survive as The Midnighters team… or fade into the darkness.
