About this game

Midnight Snack is a short and surreal first-person horror game where you wander through an eerie forest using the dials of a microwave.

FEATURES

  • Alternative and experimental control scheme.

  • Retro/Pixelart 3D visuals.

  • Short and sweet, the game takes about 30 minutes to complete.

THE GAMEPLAY

The controls are integrated into the interface itself, modeled after the dials of a conventional microwave. The bottom dial controls the camera direction, while the top dial determines how long the player moves. Once the time has been set, the controls are locked until the top dial stops turning, so be careful.

To interact with the dials, only the mouse is required.

The player must use these unconventional controls to navigate a strange environment in search of a snack, avoiding various obstacles.

THE STORY

The game takes place in the protagonist's recurring nightmare.

In this nightmare, the protagonist wakes up hungry in the middle of the night, viewing the world from the perspective of a microwave.

Before reaching the kitchen, he must navigate through a dark and eerie setting, even being attacked within the dream manifestations of his guilt.

Finally, upon reaching the kitchen and opening the microwave on the table, he will find an unpleasant surprise.
