Title
Midnight Scenes: Highway is a short point and click suspense
created by Octavi Navarro. You play as Claire Barnes, a woman on a journey whom
is forced to take a small detour when her path becomes blocked. What Claire
encounters, however, may change her life forever.
I loved this short adventure. It has heavy Twilight Zone
feelings, a show that I love dearly. I was sad that the game was so short, but
I feel that it doesn’t need to be longer. It leaves off like an episode of
Twilight Zone as well, I could even hear the voice in my head.
Oh boy, a dark looking house... Let's go in!
Octavi does a spectacular job of creating an atmosphere of
suspense and unease. The music, sound effects, and the graphic style all work very well together. I was never explicitly afraid, but it did make me feel
uneasy and a little anxious. This is the sort of eerie game I enjoy. Not the in
your face jump scares, but the subtle unease that makes your hair stand up on
the back of your neck.
Kudos to the developer for creating such a well-crafted
game. Given that this game is called Midnight Scenes: Highway, I do wonder if
there will be more of these in a sort of series. If so, sign me up! I would
even happily pay for one.
All a dream?
If you enjoyed Twilight Zone as a kid (or an adult) I think
you’ll find immense enjoyment in this little game. Either way, please be sure
to check it out for yourselves. You can download it free from Itch.io *here*.
As always, be sure to leave your feedback and encouragement
to the developers, and until next time… stay safe, and happy gaming, Jammers!
