Hey all!
It's time for another major update for Midnight Special!
We've been hard at work, and we're excited to announce that this update contains a new objective that leans a little bit more into body horror — I hope you guys aren't too squeamish.
In addition to the aforementioned objective, we’ve also added new localized languages, and we've polished and fixed several issues!
New Content:
New Room: The Golden Room (This room allows the player to go back to sleep at any time and explore the dream sequences — this design will be expanded in future updates.)
New Mechanic: Pinch (This new inventory item allows you to wake up from a nightmare at any time — available after the prologue.)
New Puzzle: The Organ/Salt Puzzle (The Salt inventory item is now part of a puzzle which must be completed in order to progress the story.)
New Interactions/Dialogue: Bob's Tenant (Back by popular request, Bob's Tenant is back with some new quips.)
New Objectives (Linked to the Salt Puzzle.)
New Tina the Doll hints added (Salt Puzzle)
Various sound/FX improvements (Documents now have sound cues when they are opened or updated.)
Localization:
We've added 4 new languages
Korean
Portuguese
French
German
Fixes/Polish:
Pick-up items and documents pop-ups should be more consistent and should notify the player.
Various localization issues have been fixed.
Tina the Doll polish.
Various sound/FX issues fixed/polished.
Known issues we're working on:
Currently, if you interact with the TV and then load a save, a piece of dialogue repeats itself after load — we're currently looking into fixing this.
Some players may occasionally encounter repeated dialogue text in the Golden Room. We’ve identified the cause and will fix it in the next update.
There is also a known issue where, after interacting with Tina the Doll, she may not disappear, and the diary you receive may not show up in the inventory. We’ve tracked down the cause and will include a fix in the next update.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. If you need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to us through Discord or Steam community!
Thank you all so much for your patience and support. Feel free to join our Discord or post on the community forums with any issues or questions you may have.
