Midnight Scenes: Among Graves

As a fan of Octavo's Midnight series, I was really disappointed by this game. Unlike Midnight Scenes: A Safe Place, which balanced its dark story with engaging gameplay and tasks, this entry relies heavily on long conversations and offers very little interaction. The story feels underdeveloped, the execution is weak, and the entire experience comes across as rushed. Overall, it lacks the atmosphere and quality that made the earlier games so enjoyable.

Desde que jugué el primer juego de Midnight Scenes me hice fan absoluta, espero con ansias cada nuevo lanzamiento ya que cada vez me sorprende más y más, las historias son más completas, son intrigantes tienen giros inesperados, ADOROO. En cuanto éste juego no fue la excepción. La historia, los gráficos, la jugabilidad, los giros de trama, simplemente son arte. gracias por seguir creando juegos tan increibles.

The "Midnight Scenes" series always have a great story - and this one is no exception. Once I started playing I was so intrigued, I couldn't stop. I particularly liked how the "creatures" were portayed, especially in the closing scenes. Very atompsheric and exceptionally beautiful pixel art.

Quizá no es el que más me ha gustado de la saga, pero sigue generando situaciones malrolleras con una trama y unos personajes muy bien llevados.

Now, this has turned out really very well. I think this game genuinely benefits from being much more cinematic than others of Octavi and Susanna’s games: faster cuts, less drawn-out dialogue, more frequent shifts between scenes and time periods. Functions very well. But as for those oddly alienating ‘goofy sound samples’ (which I suppose were introduced in The Supper – New Blood)... they certainly do give these games a certain, uhm, distinctive aesthetic signature. Still, for me, they cost the games too much atmosphere. But no question, I really like Among Graves. btw: This game is so filmlike - why don't you sell the script to a film studio? :-)

I love the Midnight Scenes series, I'm really fond of these little ghost stories. The pixel art, as always, is excellent.

Loved the game! The story was really unique and compelling, I definitely jumped a few times and the pixel art was beautiful. Exactly what I expect from a Midnight Scenes game, the atmosphere and spooky vibes were all there.

Creo que es menos efectista que los otros episodios, hay menos sobresaltos, menos violencia y los seres sobrenaturales son hasta educados y empáticos con los miembros de la familia Turtle. El terror aquí, por lo tanto no es tan directo, yo lo definiría más como un desasosiego o una angustia existencial, ya que al final con lo que se está lidiando es con la muerte misma, con el reloj de arena que se acaba. A su modo, es un relato tierno que se enfoca en los vínculos familiares y en el perdón, pero he echado un poco de menos el toque de suspense, la sensación de peligro y el giro final característico que acompaña a estos juegos heredero de The Twilligh Zone. ENGLISH I find it less sensationalist than the other episodes; there are fewer jump scares and less violence, and the supernatural beings are actually polite and empathetic toward the Turtle family. The horror here is therefore not so direct; I would define it more as a sense of unease or existential anguish, since what is ultimately being confronted is death itself—the running out of the hourglass. In its own way, it is a tender story that focuses on family bonds and forgiveness, though I did miss that touch of suspense, the sense of danger, and the signature plot twist that characterizes these games—heirs to *The Twilight Zone*.

I really liked this one! Might be my favorite other than The Nanny. The atmosphere and simple spooky vibes involving death really goes a long way for the story.

As always, this was another really great game and really great story. I so enjoy them, and highly recommend them.
