Velan Studios released the complete version of Midnight Murder Club after months of early access development. PlayStation published this first-person shooter that transforms hide-and-seek into violent gameplay within dark mansion environments. Players navigate using audio signals rather than visual cues through pitch-black rooms. The development team previously created Knockout City before shifting focus to this horror-themed concept. Game director Eric Feurstein conceived the original idea a decade ago as a simple bedroom prototype.
The title struggled during early access with Steam recording only 178 concurrent players maximum since the March launch. Developers added single-player mode, Graveyard Shift, and Wildcards mechanics for the full release. The Guest Pass system allows friends to participate without purchasing while one player owns the game. Velan Studios hopes these additions will attract sufficient players for multiplayer sustainability. The studio faces challenges maintaining active user bases after its previous major release experienced similar difficulties.
