The game takes place in the protagonist's recurring nightmare. In this nightmare, the protagonist wakes up hungry in the middle of the night and views the world from a microwave perspective. Before reaching the kitchen, he must navigate through a dark and eerie setting, even being attacked within the dream manifestations of his guilt. Finally, upon reaching the kitchen and opening the microwave on the table, he will find an unpleasant surprise. The Basics
Let's get down to the basics of Midnight Snack by Desborde Games. Midnight Snack is an adventure-strategy game with one of the most unique movement mechanics I have ever seen. The controls are integrated into the interface itself, modeled after the dials of a retro-style microwave. The bottom dial controls the camera direction, while the top dial determines how long the player moves. Once the time has been set, the controls are locked until the top dial stops turning, so be careful. A mouse is required to interact with the dials as they need a click and drag motion to operate them, similar to an old rotary telephone.

The monster that stalks you is an unseen but real threat on your heels. Navigating tight corners and judging how much distance you need to cover is critical to staying alive. Once you set a time on the dial, you can no longer adjust the camera direction as you move, so move with accuracy and speed. Why Should I Play?
So why should you play Midnight Snack ? This fast, surreal horror game is a treat with its retro style and unique moment mechanic. My favorite sections were the hallways with their tight corners that raised the suspense level, but the forest sections are the largest areas of the game. I would love to see it expanded into a longer experience, as the 15-20 minute playtime goes by too quickly.
Ready to make yourself a little late-night bite and run for your life? You can play Midnight Snack for free with Steam now and watch the trailer below for a better look at the interface.

With fireworks returning to the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge/Seaport corridor, the community's rooftop terrace offers residents an unobstructed, front-row seat to one of the nation's most beloved traditions, all without leaving home.

Many resident apartments share the same breathtaking views, with private balconies that offer fresh air, the peaceful sounds of the river, and stunning vistas looking back at Lower Manhattan and the majestic Statue of Liberty. The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights is more than just a residence, it's a thriving, creative community where Grammy Award winners, actors, visual artists, and cultural leaders choose to live. From impromptu music performances to one of the borough's most sought-after Mahjong circles, every day offers a new opportunity to connect, create, and enjoy. Adding to its distinctive experience is the leadership of its Executive Director, who also lives onsite and serves as a concierge, ensuring the pulse of the community is always strong, and residents receive personalized attention and access to cultural, culinary, and wellness offerings throughout the city.
