The camera does not lie, but the truth rarely reveals itself right away. Step into the role of a detective investigating crime scenes in Midnight City, where every detail, trace, and document can change the course of the investigation. At the crime scene, you document evidence with your camera, inspect objects up close, and look for details others may have missed. Photos, reports, and notes help reconstruct the course of events, but they do not hand you a ready-made answer. It is up to you which leads you connect and who you ultimately hold responsible.
The analysis begins back at the office. Review case files, check photos, use the police database, and pin the most important information to the investigation board. A name, address, date, occupation, or brief mention in a report may turn out to be the missing piece of the puzzle. If something does not add up, you can return to the crime

Hi everyone!I am working on a new update for Midnight Files.This time I want to focus mainly on the things that appeared most often in player reviews, comments, and Steam discussions. The goal of this update is to improve the clarity of the investigations, make the evidence flow easier to follow, and remove the elements that caused the most frustration.One of the bigger changes will be the removal of the system where players had to determine the next crime location. I know that for some players this part was too unclear and too often felt like guessing instead of actual deduction. I want the endings of the cases to feel more logical and better supported by the evidence collected during the investigation.I am also working on improvements to the investigations themselves. Selected cases will receive revised threads, better connections between clues, and more polished puzzles. My goal is to make the solutions more satisfying and less arbitrary.The update will also add a new optional noir visual mode. This is a black-and-white visual mode that gives the game a more classic detective atmosphere. It will be possible to enable or disable it in the settings.Planned changes:new optional noi

Hey everyone!Day 1 update for the "Missing in Forest Lake" DLC is now live. Thanks for the bug reports - they helped me catch the critical issues fast. Here's what's been changed:Fixes:Fixed the bug where the map wouldn't show up after loading a save and couldn't be unlocked again.Fixed character clipping through terrain and falling under the map.Vehicle improvements:Reworked car physics. It now has proper mass and doesn't behave like a toy anymore. Collisions with obstacles work correctly now.Added collision detection system that plays sound effects.Completely rebuilt boat controls. It's more predictable and responsive now - should feel much better to use.Fixed the bug that let you exit the boat in the middle of the lake, which would softlock the game. You can't leave the boat when it's too deep anymore - you'll get a message instead.New stuff:Added sprint to the DLC map. You can move around on foot much faster now.Changed controller layout to fit sprint in. Crouch is now on D-Pad Left, sprint is on Left Stick Press (old crouch button).A few other minor fixes.Still working through your feedback. If you find bugs, report them o
