Midnight at the Red Light : An Investigation Reviews

The concept is good - there is a girl missing so you have to find her and arrest the man responsible; But the graphics, lack of settings like mouse sensitivity, a useless map, no sense of real danger, no "final boss", poor graphics and an even poorer GUI make the game not worth it, at least for time of making this review.

Worth the Price, Confusing at times and I think my game has Glitches or it was brilliantly designed to throw a few curve balls!, you Need to be Good at these kind of "Thinking Games" (Im not) I over think things lol An Investigation that has A LOT of Paranormal and Sci-Fi.. Very Unique, Striking and even Haunting Backgrounds Visuals and Effects, a few Good scares here and there. It's OK .. Off the Beaten Path and Fun to play,

A good unusual idea, the style of this game reminded old surrealistic films. But, unfortunately, something in this game is not good, maybe there are not enough items with which you can interact, too many empty locations, too little plot and for me was not clear what needs to be done at the end, but you can set the task of finding all evidences, it take a time. I like the idea and design in some locations and design of the main menu, but everything else does not cause a desire to return there.

It was ok. It was really hard to see. I think it would be a lot better if you actually used a forensic kit to gather the evidence, or had some puzzles mixed in. Reading a diary is boring. I was mostly running around trying to find out where to go, which became tedious. There really wasn't much action. I was under the impression that I should be careful not to be seen, so I was creepin around corners and staying in shadows because I assumed there were bad guys looking for intruders. I was wrong and it made my playthrough even more tedious. There are only about 4-5 times where there is someone you should avoid. However, in order to pass the majority, you need them to see you first and then you hide. My dumbass couldn't figure that out without watching a walkthrough. If you decide to buy this, wait for a sale.

Trash. This game wasn't worth the dollar I paid for it. The design is almost unplayably bad; that the developers don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" and didn't bother including the option to edit controls - including mouse invert - should tell you everything you need to know. The overall impression of the game is "unfinished." It's missing critital features, the in game text wasn't properly proofread, and the audio sounds like first-take placeholders. This is at most half a game and isn't worth even half a dollar.

The checkpoints are too far apart and the game crashed on me a few times. (forcing be to re-do 10 minutes of crawling around each time) It's very tedious to find all items and I find the tracing down of the story by diary and notes alone a bit boring. The graphics and atmosphere are just too edgy and there are too few items and sceneries to feel immersed. The fact that you don't interact with anybody doesn't help there as well. There are a few moving walls and doors to avoid or quickly jump through. These look not at all as if they belong to the building or setting (why is there a electrical sliding/slicing door between some barns?). From the title and the tag "nudity" I was expecting a story rich noire type of game evolving around a strip club or something. But there is nothing besides a few pixely posters. Cannot really recommend this game.

The lighting/colors is cool at first, but everything else about this game is bad. Buggy, unresponsive and confusing. The assets are badly proportioned -- for instance the beer bottles and barrels are laughably small compared to the tables. Additionally, I was expecting more of a detective story, but it comes down to scrambling around a labyrinth picking up hunting down tiny little clue objects.

It's uh... it's not great. Look, I grabbed it for a dollar so I don't have a tonne of room to complain here, but I went into this expecting it to mostly be about the evidence and less about a REALLY badly designed "find evidence and be stealthy game". I have no idea what the correct way to avoid the guards is, but what I DO know is that to get past them I would walk in front so he 'saw me', walk back quick, wait for music to stop, and then go because now the guard has disappeared into the ether. It's horrible in its back tracking nature, without any hint at "okay now go to THIS door", just leaving it to you to check the whole map again. And again. And again. Not to mention one part with a floating eyeball in a church your dude somehow doesn't remark on? And what was the point of the hallucinations if it's not plot relevant? Where was the cult? On top of that, the controls are janky (half the time I couldn't crouch), jumping exists except... why? There's never a time you need to jump. And you can't even SEE guards who will eventually spot you so it just becomes "fun" trial and error. No. This game was, at best, worth a dollar but even that's pushing it. I appreciate what they're going for, but this needs a LOT of work to be a good game. I basically only finished it out of PRAYING it'd get better. It didn't. Better luck next time, devs. 2/10. Edit: Credit where it's due, the voice acting is actually shockingly on point. Wouldn't expect that from an indie title, honestly, but there it is.

This game impressed me a lot more than I was expecting it to. If you are looking for a solid and unique mystery/horror game, then check this one out for sure. The developers still have a bit of polishing to do, but I feel that they can, and will, perfect this game in time. My thoughts on the gameplay: The open world exploration feels expansive and satisfying, yet challenging and thought provoking. The menus and interface could use some work, but this is a pretty minor gripe. The gameplay mechanics feel fresh and rewarding. Jumpscares... they do their job. ^_^ There is definitely some replay value in this game as well. I just completed my first playthrough and I still have achievements to be completed and a new ending to discover. As the game sits right now - 8/10. Highly recommend, even at full price.

I had several complaints about the introduction of the game but the devs answered me very quickly and sent out a patch the day I voiced my concerns. I immediately changed my review to a "recommend" because of the prompt and curteous response. The patch works great, I tested it today. As I said in my previous review, I have had this game on my wishlist for quite some time and was really looking forward to it. What little I've played, has a very unique graphical presentation that immediately got my attention in the screenshots. It's just as unique in the game. The colors are very well done and different from anything I have seen in a game before. My resolution started off set to a lower setting than I wanted so I just went into the options and made it look fantastic. I've made it to the second checkpoint after the Intro now and am starting to piece together the story. It's pretty well done and I'm interested to see where it goes. In my opinion, the game is worth the price but I have not yet completed the game so I"m not sure how long it is versus how much you pay (I bought it day one so there was a pretty nice discount). Keep up the good work guys! I will continue my review as soon as I play some more.
