About the Game
In the American Southwest, a lone witch hunter travels across the desert, seeking to wipe out cultists of all sorts. Fight a variety of goons and ghouls, through small towns to dimension-spanning motels. Inspired by DOOM, Quake, and action games of yore, blast your way through a neon-dripped, pixelated nightmare in this high-speed, high-thrills FPS.- No recharging shields: you'll need to play smart or find healthpacks to stay alive. You're not invincible, after all.
- Wild Weird West: features an acidic western soundtrack, composed just for Midnight Ultra!
- Choose a melee weapon and a ranged weapon of your choice: mix and match, choose between chopping and blasting your enemies down to size.
- Change how the game looks to fit your taste: unlockable color palettes change how Midnight Ultra looks entirely. BONUS: Halloween color palette unlocked at start
- Double jump and dodge your enemies: your fast and nimble feet will let you leap across levels, over enemies heads, and between platforms.
- Moody and surreal story: not everything is at it seems, and the physical trappings of reality aren't always guaranteed...
- Short and sweet: 2-3 hours of gameplay content, for busy players looking for quick fun.

The Neighbors Public Alpha on itch.io
We’ve kept it under wraps (unless you were on the Patreon), but we’re putting out the Alpha for our latest title on itch.io. The Neighbors is a randomly-generated immersive sim about burglarizing hideous midwestern farmhouses in the middle of nowhere, as fast as you can, and then getting the heck out of dodge. Join the free Public Alpha now! The catch? You have 4 minutes to scout and rob a house you've never been inside of before. If you're caught, AI will call the police on you. Every round, the house takes on a new configuration, with different entrances, hallways, and loot. The Neighbors is currently in Public Alpha, with one playable area and one basic tutorial. So what's on the horizon? For now, the Alpha is free for the first group of players. As the game gets more popular, we'll start charging for access to the game. We'll be updating the game every 1-2 weeks with new fixes, features, artpass, and more. The best way to report bugs and give feedback on the game is through our Discord, at https://discord.gg/forwardinstinct. Happy house robbing!Read full article on Community Announcements (Deadhands Dan)AnnouncementsOfficial
