Description

This game is a short narrative experience (60-90 minutes). Perfect to play before bed!

In tonight's episode of Midnight Scenes, life at Fernwood Creek Mental Health Center is altered by the arrival of a new patient. He doesn't speak, doesn't relate to anyone, and hides a dark secret.

Elijah, a boy who silently suffers the scorn of the other inmates, forms a special bond with this stranger. But something emerges from the darkness, giving way to disturbing incidents that lead Elijah to discover a chilling truth.

Turn off the lights and enter the depths of Midnight Scenes: From the Woods.

This is the fourth in a series of short horror tales with adventure elements by Octavi Navarro, creator of the critically acclaimed games The Supper, The Librarian, and Unwelcome, and artist on Thimbleweed Park and Photographs.




  • Enjoy this exciting and intense tale through the eyes of Elijah, a boy with anxiety disorder.
  • Story-driven point-and-click horror experience that will chill you to the core.
  • Explore, interact with your surroundings...and keep your eyes open.
  • Colorful pixel art based on '90s aesthetics, inspired by horror and mystery classics like The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits.
  • Emotional original soundtrack.
  • Atmospheric sound effects.

Welcome to Fernwood Creek. Do you dare to stay?

Worst Midnight Scenes so far

Not a bite sized adventure this time. This follow up to The Nanny is instead a linear visual story, that seems to gradually change theme from horror to gay romance, allowing for very little interactivity. The result is unfortunately awkward and boring.

The most complete of these

A sequel to the last one. It has a cute story mixed with horror. Not much of a game, but more an interactive story

Best of the Midnight Scenes So Far

Really liked this game. It doesn't have branching storylines or much in the way of puzzles really, but the story is quite interesting with a couple of twists along the way and given the length of the game, the characters are well fleshed out. It is a follow up to 'Midnight Scenes: The Nanny' so it may be best to finish that game first to get the most out of this one, though it isn't necessary (but that previous game is also good and in the same vein so why not?). If you want deep engaging gameplay, you might want to play another game, but if you want a good linear horror story that is not just some rehash of classic horror tropes with plenty of human moments and some interactive elements (that give some engagement, but don't impact the plot), then look no further. This game is for you. For an inexpensive short budget story-driven horror game created mostly by one person, it is hard to ask for more really. This game will give you strong entertainment value, both for your time and money investment.

The best Midnight scenes for my taste

The story seems simple at first, until you see the link with the previous story (The Nanny). And then it's a story in which we become even more invested, knowing that we've followed these protagonists before. And the spooky music... I even bought it! :)

Weakest M.C entry

Its the most technically complex and packed and yet it has the weakest story. It continues from "The Nanny" which breaks the anthology nature of the series and yet it doesnt seem to matter that much because the story kind of handwaves stuff from it to focus on a gay romance with very stereotypical bully villains with no a hint of complexity. Hopefully the next entry returns to its roots, no pun intended.
