Midnight Scenes: From the Woods Reviews

Oh I enjoyed this game so much! Less problem-solving than the first few games, but the story was so great I didn't even care! This is a continuation of the Nanny episode in this series. This was probably my favorite installment thus far. The end credits made me giggle too. If you enjoyed the other games, including the graphics, music, and storytelling and are okay without the puzzles/problem-solving, you will definitely like this! Highly recommend.

I thought this was so good. It takes all of the atmosphere and storytelling normally present in Octavi Navarro's games and extends it without losing any of the punch. Basically every object is has a little dialogue or description, which I adore, and the dialogue options for Elijah felt natural and fitted to his character (I feel many games with multiple dialogue options are not able to boast this). The story was really good and super engaging, though the gameplay is quite limited (it's not puzzle solving, it's more of an interactive story). It wasn't super scary but I don't really think that's such a bad thing; it's good for other reasons. I will say, I haven't played the game this is supposedly a sequel to because I got my order mixed up, so it didn't bother me it wasn't a stand-alone, because in my eyes it was.
