Midnight Monitor: Anomaly Watch

Midnight Monitor: Anomaly Watch is a solo-developed horror observation game that has been in Early Access since September 1, 2023. The developer (Viexi Games) has maintained consistent communication and has shipped multiple updates since launch, including a second house level (Neighbourhood House, October 13, 2023), a Halloween seasonal event, and the Halloween Forever DLC (November 10, 2023). The most significant and recent communication came on June 27, 2026, when the developer posted a detailed development update welcoming new players from a Fanatical bundle. This post revealed substantial progress on the upcoming 1.0 update: a fully realized hub apartment where players will live and work, a merit-based furniture and rewards shop, an in-game media player with radio stations and custom music support, two 10-episode in-game podcasts that unlock through gameplay, and a new Orbital Station level. The developer confirmed this update will bring the game out of Early Access, though no specific release date was provided. Prior to that, an October 5, 2025 security patch post also confirmed the Early Access exit update was still in progress, with the developer directing fans to their BlueSky profile for ongoing devlog updates. The game is actively being developed toward a defined 1.0 milestone with a clear and substantial feature set already shown publicly. Anyone waiting for the full release should be aware that meaningful new content — including a new level, narrative systems, and the hub area — is still to come before the game is considered complete.
