Puppets always look a little creepy. Something just isn’t right about shoving your hand up a puppet's stomach. Stealth horror adventure game Hello Puppets: Midnight Show proves me right by showing off some of the gameplay in a new trailer. “The year is 1987. You play as Owen Gubberson, creator of a rapidly-failing Muppets knock off called "Mortimer's Handeemen”. In a last-ditch effort to save his dying show, Owen uses a mysterious spell to bring his puppets to life. But his Handeemen aren’t how he imagined them: they’re sadistic, evil versions of themselves, and they’re loose in the soundstage. Now Owen has one night to outrun his puppets and reverse the spell that brought them to life before they slaughter him and escape!”
Some features of Hello Puppets: Midnight Show include a dynamic game of hide and seek, where you need to learn and adapt to what the AI is doing. Hello Puppets also has a unique “Hiding” mechanic Each of the three distinct AI “Boss” enemies has unique behaviors, personalities, and narratives.
Hello Puppets: Midnight Show will be released on PC via Steam, sometime in 2022.
