I sold my soul to the company store, now the reaper wants it back . . .

Midnight Oil is a deduction-based visual novel, with the correct solution randomized each playthough. Players will need to question and observe a crew of four railway-bending gandydancers at the turn of the 1900s, to determine which one of their number has been replaced by DEATH itself - guess wrong, and they may well be condemned to an eternity on the tracks . . .

The game was created in a single month as part of the 7th Annual Spooktober Jam - be sure to vote and check out all the other wonderful entries this year!

Midnight Oil has multiple solutions to solve for, and three major endings. 

The "culprit" you'll be solving for is randomized on each new playthrough, so be on the lookout for inconsistencies in character's responses . . .

A typical playthrough will be somewhere around 6k - 10k words, though our spectacular writing crew created over 33k words total. The game is available for Windows  and Mac, as well as a browser version - though we recommend downloading for best performance!
