Hello Puppets: Midnight Show‘s hiding mechanic will have you on your toes, requiring you to hold your breath through minigames and challenges. The levels themselves will be “full of tools” to use against the puppets, as well as hiding spots, and pieces of a larger narrative that you’ll have to work to put together.Īnd just because you’re hidden, doesn’t mean you get to take it easy. Alpha: A suppressed Assault Rifle with +10 Extra bullets. The Deputy: Slightly extends the range of any long knives, including kukris. Volatile Hunter Sword: Applies Electricity and Fire Handsaws, Khopeshes, Long and Short Swords, Machetes, and Scythes. You’ll also have to contend with four distinct AI bosses with their own unique behaviors, personalities, and narratives. Volatile Hunter Sledgehammer: Applies Electricity and Fire to Axes, Pickaxes, and Sledgehammers. Hello Puppets: Midnight Show employs a “dynamic Hide and Seek” mechanic against AI that hunts you and forces you to learn its behavior and adapt. Open up your Quests menu and select the Hellraid quest to track. Interact with it and you will be teleported to the new DLC map. Having done that, go to the Tower and find a unique Arcade Machine. You have one night to reverse the spell and escape the Handeemen Sound Stage alive. To start the DLC, you need to finish the Prologue of the main Campaign (including a quest called Sleep through the Night).

However, as one might expect from this sort of thing, the puppets turn out to be the sadistic and evil types, and they have “plans” for you.

You decide to bring your creations to life using magic. Taking place in 1987, you are Owen Gubberson, a master puppet maker, and creator of “Mortimer’s Handeemen,” a Muppets knock-off that’s unfortunately on the verge of cancellation. And while it didn’t reach its release date last year, the team is still hard at work getting it out the door, as evidenced by the new trailer that introduces you to some of the puppets you’ll be encountering (and fleeing).Īiming now for a 2022 release on Steam, Hello Puppets: Midnight Show is a prequel to Hello Puppets! VR (which is also available on Steam). Last year, developer Otherworld Interactive and tinybuild’s stealth horror game Hello Puppets: Midnight Show made its debut during Steam Next Fest.
