Midnight Cafe
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
❝ So, wanna some cuppa? ❞
It's Halloween, a day full of myths about the supernatural and everyone decides to come together to tell scary stories that show that humans can be scarier than any supernatural activity, that is, themselves. The Séance is a café whose owner is nothing more than the personification of death, an angel of death called Asriel and works as a neutral place that serves humans and supernatural creatures with the most diverse drinks. Known for its odd hours, the cafe only opens at late night, and Halloween is no different. While humans are out there hunting trick-or-treating shenanigans, you stumble on this place where creatures decide to take a coffee break and gossip about what humans are capable of. Are you able to remember the details correctly and tell a story about how humans can be scary?
❝ It can help with your memories…❞
Midnight Café is a visual novel about late nights, supernatural and true crime. It's a coffee break where you can gossip about how humans are scary, spooky, and well suited for the Spooktober 4th Annual Visual Novel Jam.

I am getting Katherine Knight vibes.
I really liked this game: the art is amazing and the music and sound effects are great. Congratulations :)
Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad that you liked and also, I hope you stay around for another story with those characters, soon, very soon!
OwO got hooked by the art and stayed for the plot. It was amazing
Thank you!! And thanks for playing!! ^^'
The story was bizarre, but I liked the warm atmosphere in the cafe. I don't understand why the main character would tell a story about Evelyn and not themselves. It felt detached from the game's main story. Or then I have missed something important! But I liked the characters and their funny comments about each other. Now I want a latte!
Oh, thank you for playing and the comment!! hahaha Well, the choice about the story not being about themselves but someone else was mostly an experiment about the format where we tried to bring a true crime podcast into the visual novel format without feeling like a podcast. The cafe is this fixed place where supernatural creatures will meet and tell stories under different circumstances and Asriel is "the host". We want to release different episodes with different stories but always connecting old and new characters and the stories showed. This time it was more like "prove to me that humans are worst than us" reason but of course this always can be implemented to feel less detached.
Oh and about the latte: Come forth, Asriel does the best ones and this is the first of many~ ^^'
Oh, then it makes more sense! I hope we will hear stories from the regular customers too. :) And thank you for the latte~
Whoa the art is gorgeous!
Thank you!! ( ╹▽╹ )
