Typing at Midnight
Oh maybe I’ll escape
The prison in my headspace
If I just speak my mind
It's January 6th, 2019. It's raining outside, and you're staring at your phone screen. You know you have to say something. You know you will say it, eventually. It's just a matter of time.

that was soooo bittersweet and nerve-wrecking!..
heyyyy i came back
this game is still as fire as when i played it 6 months ago
this was so beautiful :,)
Thanks! Making this game helped me a lot to deal with my feelings back then. I'm glad you've found it beautiful =)
what happens next
no way i remember u from another game
oh wow cool i also remember you (sorry for the very very late reply)
Well, that's up to you! Personally, I like to think the two remained great friends, Sarah and the friend stayed together, and the protagonist eventually met someone who reciprocated his feelings, roughly a year and a half later.
damn i rlly enjoyed this game
Thanks!
Wow, what a game! I don't even know how I've never heard anything about this game before, but maybe being such a personal game must be the main reason. Loved the story and ambience, the rain sounds and typing really makes me remember that I've alredy felt like this once, certainly not only once, and not a long time ago.
Life is hard. This game is a nice reminder that anyone goes through dark, tough times. Even if the person doesn't show it too much in public, people are battling everyday against their own fears and problems.
But we must do what we can to make life a good experience. It's the best we can do to make ourselves happy and pursue our dreams. Things may not go the way we want every time, but we have friends to support us when things fail.
Don't worry, you're not a burden to anyone. As much as your friends can help you when you're down, you can really help your friends doing things you love, like this game.
Thanks a lot and never stop chasing your dreams :)
Hey, man. Thanks for the comment. Yeah, given the game's themes, I wasn't sure if I should share it with other people. At first, I wasn't even sure if I was going to publish this at all. In a way, this was just the method I found to process my emotions.
I guess I knew there was a chance you'd see this eventually. But even now, I was still anxious of what your response would've been. But I'm glad you liked it. And I'm glad it had a positive effect on your day.
hi i don't want to bother you but there is an ending to the game is there a correct message to type or something? The dialogues spoke to me a lot, I've been through something like this, I just wanted to know how it ends.
There are a few clues throughout the game, and one at the very end, right before the last choice, in which the protagonist types something then erases it. This is what he's trying to type, but gives up halfway through. It's not a very complicated sentence - it only has three words.
oh no i wasn't focusing what am i supposed to type at the end oh no i might have to reset
Have you managed to find out the answer in the end? If you need another clue, the sentence has three words.
it doesnt make me send any message. I type "hey" and then I press every key but still nothing.
Try pressing the number button corresponding to the message you want to send. For example, for "1. Hey", you press 1 and then type.
I do that, I press the number, type but cant send it
This might sound like a stupid question, but are you pressing Enter at the end? Keep in mind also that some messages actually keep going, getting deleted and then getting typed again
yes obv, its probably a problem of my computer at this point idk
I never left a comment in this website but after playing this game I feel like I just have to do it, to share my thoughts. So yeah first ever comment
First things, the gameplay is very unique, the themes despite being simple but still very fitting. But what've truly fascinated me and may I say the most beautiful thing about this game [Spoiler] are how you are able to create the situation so masterfully. Like you can clearly see his struggles NOT only though texts, but through his small actions constantly delete his message, though his shakings and have to take a moment to calm down. The tensions omg, I'm on the edge typing nonsense on my keyboard just to see how the story unfold.
The game make me realize how tough this situation must be, make me understand how much this character gone through, how struggle he is getting his feelings out of his chest. Thank you for creating this game, I hope many people would came to this and get the same message as I do, maybe even more :)
P.S: The fact that you are able to type in the end just really blow my mind, I've spend a good ol few second trying to figure it out. I've tried "I love you", "I am into you", "Im gay"
"Joe mama"but the correct answer is really much simple than I expected XDThank you. This comment made my day. That was exactly my hope for this game - I've always wanted to make experiences that speak more to people, more than just having fun. This was probably the most personal game I've ever made, and I'm happy to know that it has struck a chord with someone else.
what is the word :(
What are you supposed to type at the end? :O
I'd rather not give out the answer, but sometimes when the protagonist types something and then deletes it, it's the game 'clueing you in' on what the protagonist really wants to type. I hope this helps.
ohhhhhh ok ok I think I got it now
nvm I'm still stuck
Have you managed to find out the answer in the end? If you need another clue, the sentence has 3 words.
I like you/not really like i dont know u but u understood no?
