About this game
A Game of Cat and Mouse
Trapped within a rural farmhouse, your survival depends on your ability to stay out of sight. Midnight Scour is a stealth-focused horror experience where the environment is both your ally and your enemy. Every creak of a floorboard or rushed movement could be your last.
Stealth: Navigate the house using hidingspots and cover.
Non-Linear AI: Face an intelligent captor that reacts to your presence. He isn't bound by scripts; he lives within the house, monitoring his prisoner and responding to the sounds you make.
High-Tension Atmosphere: Experience a dense, realistic environment where the silence is as dangerous as the noise.
Solve Your Way Out
Finding a way out requires more than just hiding in a corner. You must actively explore and interact with your surroundings to unlock a path to freedom.
Environmental Puzzles: Scavenge for items and solve logical challenges.
Multiple Escape Routes: Discover different exits and choose the path that best suits your playstyle and current resources.
Consequence-Driven Gameplay: Every action has a ripple effect. Managing your noise level and movement is the difference between a successful escape and being caught.
