![]() The time the game breaks from this style is when a prisoner gives you a series of riddles to solve, which need outside information to find the answers. For most of the game, they consist of finding a way to get through yet another locked door, with the occasional password to find to log onto a computer. The trouble is that the puzzles don't actually relate to the story very much. The environments are suitably dark and creepy and the story unfolds at just the right pace to keep providing you with new details and give you a reason to play. It's a shame, since it's the sort of immature humour that breaks the dark atmosphere that is one of the few strengths of the game. Another annoyance is that the developers idea of an adult game seems to be to have pictures of naked women on most of the walls in the game, and have the main character comment "great tits" on seeing a female corpse. Presumably they're supposed to be jokes, judging by the sarcastic tone of voice the lead voice actor insists on using for practically every line, but you won't be able to tell why they're supposed to be funny. It leads to the character saying completely nonsensical comments half the time that seem entirely unrelated to what you just tried to do. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for the problems to start showing.įirstly, there's the translation from the original Russian version. Despite the cliched amnesia plot device, it's an intriguing enough start. The game opens with your character waking up in a body bag in a mortuary with no memory of who he is and finding everyone else in the building has been killed by a serial killer known as The Executioner. At first glance, Midnight Nowhere seems a fairly promising adventure game. ![]()
