Evaluation

Midnight Murder Club launched out of Early Access on August 14, 2025, delivering the PvE co-op mode and other features that had been promised on the Early Access roadmap. Following that launch, the game received a series of maintenance and bug-fix patches. On June 18, 2026, Velan Studios published a final update post (version 2.0.008) explicitly stating: "This is our last planned update for the game." The developer confirmed that the game's servers and matchmaking will remain online indefinitely, and noted their commitment to patching if anything were to break functionality in the future — but made clear no new content is planned. This is a direct developer statement marking the end of development. The game launched as a complete product and has now been officially confirmed as such by the developer.

Midnight Murder Club

Round up your friends and turn off the lights

Midnight Murder Club is a chaotic and hilarious horror party game where every match is a new tale of screaming, surprises, and stumbling through the dark. Surrounded by your favorite troublemakers and armed with only a flashlight and a revolver, you’ll tiptoe and whisper your way through traps, toys, and total chaos, where proximity chat turns whispers into jump scares and chaos into comedy.

Welcome to the Midnight Murder Club

Conceal your identity behind a mask and join friends in a game of perception, deception, and sharpshooting. The difference between light and dark is important as members are forced to choose between the safety of darkness and the risk of clicking on a flashlight.

Rely on your senses. In the darkness, every decision counts.

One Purchase Covers the Crew

Buy Midnight Murder Club and invite up to five friends to join your matches. Have your friends download the Guest Pass Edition at no additional cost¹ to play with you. Every game mode, every whisper in the dark, no holding back. After all, what’s a mansion full of murder and chaos without some company?

Wildcards Mode

Survival isn’t just about skill, it’s about bending the rules. Stack the deck in your favour with Wildcards, powerful game-changers that shake up every match. Fill the mansion with bear traps, adjust the team sizes, shoot through walls, play with gigantic bobble heads, or go out in a blaze of glory… literally.

Add unpredictable twists and a personal touch to your matches with rule-breaking effects that keep everyone on their toes.

In this mode, chaos is always in the cards.

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.

PvE Mode: Graveyard Shift

Not every threat in the mansion wears a mask. Team up with a friend to face the supernatural forces lurking the dark halls in Graveyard Shift. Hunt down golden relics and return them to the vault while fending off waves of twisted demons, creeping shadows, and blazing skulls. The longer you last, the stronger your opposition gets, because the mansion won’t go down without a fight.

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. Attach a falling chandelier trap to the ceiling. Immobilize your enemies in a bear trap or light them ablaze with a molotov cocktail. The variety of items makes every match unique.

Join the Club and die trying.
