Midnight Pills

Dreams that feel real.

October 13, 1998. 11:31 PM.
You're hungry, the fridge is empty and every shop online is sold out - except for one strange product: SOMNIVEX, a sleeping pill that promises "dreams that feel real". You order it. It arrives the next morning. You take one.

That's when the doors start leading to places they shouldn't.

Midnight Pills is a short first-person psychological horror game seen through an old 90s camcorder. Explore your own house, follow your daily routine and slowly notice that something is very wrong - with your home, with the pills, and with you.

Features

• A fully explorable 1998 house - every drawer, door and light switch works
• A story told through a VHS camcorder, with voiced thoughts
• An endless dream world that looks a lot like home
• Something that only moves when you don't look at it

This is a free demo - Chapter 1 of 3

Chapter 1 ("Midnight Pills") is complete and playable from start to finish (about 25-35 minutes, two endings).
Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 - where you try to fight back against the company behind SOMNIVEX - are coming soon.
