Evaluation

Midnight Scenes: From the Woods is a self-contained short horror adventure that launched on February 9, 2023. The store description explicitly frames it as a "short narrative experience (60-90 minutes)" and the fourth entry in a series of standalone episodes — each episode is its own complete, separate product. The only DLC is the game's soundtrack, which was released on launch day. The developer has continued releasing new entries in the Midnight Scenes series as separate games: Midnight Scenes: A Safe Place launched on March 19, 2024, and Midnight Scenes: Among Graves launched on March 17, 2026. These are independent titles, not updates or expansions to From the Woods. A brief post-launch patch on February 13, 2023 added an auto-save system, after which there have been no further updates to this specific game. From the Woods launched as a complete, finished product with no post-launch content roadmap, no announced expansions, and no unreleased DLC. The studio's ongoing activity is directed at new episodes in the series rather than additions to this entry.

About this game

This game is a short narrative experience (60-90 minutes). Perfect to play before bed!

In tonight's episode of Midnight Scenes, life at Fernwood Creek Mental Health Center is altered by the arrival of a new patient. He doesn't speak, doesn't relate to anyone, and hides a dark secret.

Elijah, a boy who silently suffers the scorn of the other inmates, forms a special bond with this stranger. But something emerges from the darkness, giving way to disturbing incidents that lead Elijah to discover a chilling truth.

Turn off the lights and enter the depths of Midnight Scenes: From the Woods.

This is the fourth in a series of short horror tales with adventure elements by Octavi Navarro (Thimbleweed Park, Photographs...) and Susanna Granell, creators of the critically acclaimed games The Supper, The Librarian, and Unwelcome.

Enjoy this exciting and intense tale through the eyes of Elijah, a boy with anxiety disorder.

Welcome to Fernwood Creek. Do you dare to stay?
