  • Summary: Hide, Seek, Shoot in the Dark
    Heart-pounding and hilarious multiplayer FPS fun. Trust your senses and overcome your fears as you’re armed with a flashlight and a revolver, then set against your friends in a pitch-black mansion with immersive proximity chat and surprises around every corner.    Hide, Seek, Shoot in the Dark
    Heart-pounding and hilarious multiplayer FPS fun. Trust your senses and overcome your fears as you’re armed with a flashlight and a revolver, then set against your friends in a pitch-black mansion with immersive proximity chat and surprises around every corner.

    Welcome to the Midnight Murder Club
    You’ve been invited to the Midnight Murder Club, an elite group that gives you nothing but a gun and a flashlight before sending you into the darkened halls of a mansion. Conceal your identity behind a mask and join your friends in a game of perception, deception, and sharpshooting. In the darkness, every decision counts.

    Six Guests. One Deadly Game.
    The difference between light and dark is important as the Midnight Murder Club’s members are forced to choose between the safety of darkness and the risk of clicking on a flashlight. Spotting someone else gives crucial information, but if you can see them, that means they can see you, too. Rely on your other senses to navigate the mansion and find your opponents.

    Whispers in the Dark
    Full proximity chat leads to tense and hysterical moments as you feel your way through the mansion’s dark corridors. Hear muffled footsteps as someone runs down the hallway above you, then creep toward gunshots bleeding through the door to the next room. Hear your rivals’ laughter echo through the tall ceilings after you emerge victorious from a gunfight.

    The Devil’s Toys
    Hidden around the mansion are traps, weapons, and other equipment to help you survive the night. Take night vision pills to see in the dark. Don a bulletproof vest to defend against your foes. Immobilize your enemies in a bear trap or light them ablaze with a molotov cocktail. The variety of items makes every match unique.

    A Game of Choice
    What game does the Club have in store for your group tonight? Midnight Murder Club has multiple ways to play ranging from classics to objective-based modes that require more thought and strategy as you explore the secrets hiding inside Wormwood Manor.    … Expand

    The fact that I don't usually like first-person shooters and I loved my time with Midnight Murder Club speaks volumes so definitely play it.

    Midnight Murder Club from developer Velan Studios is a cool idea that will have hardcore online gamers frothing at the mouth to show their stuff. While the entry point for novice players might be difficult, and the lack of longevity beyond modes is a tough sell, what you get with the price point you pay is enticing.

    Overall, a unique and fresh-feeling multiplayer shooter. One that’s neither graphically outstanding or anything other than well-trodden gameplay-wise. However its unique hide-in-the-dark style and fun chaos are well worth a look for such a good price.

    Midnight Murder Club brings an intriguing idea to the table which, while not reinventing the online shooter genre, attempts to give it a fresh twist. In a market dominated by fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled action, Velan Studios takes the opposite route: a slower, more methodical gameplay where reflexes take a back seat and listening becomes the key to survival. The variety of modes and the addition of a guest pass show great attention to the community, though some limitations remain: for now, the game offers only one map and a pace that might feel too niche to achieve mainstream success. Even so, Midnight Murder Club has the potential to surprise genre enthusiasts; a rough diamond that, with the right polish, could truly shine.

    Midnight Murder Club impresses with its atmosphere and original ideas like the Wild Cards, but it suffers from lack of content and variety. Perfect with friends, less engaging when played alone.

    Midnight Murder Club is a fun game for quick sessions with friends, especially thanks to the Guest Pass and the Wildcards mode, which guarantee plenty of laughs. However, without new maps or content updates, it is unlikely to remain a recurring title on your online games list.

    Midnight Murder Club has a solid basis, but the content is not enough at this time.
