About Midnight Murder Club

Midnight Murder Club is a horror‑party game where up to six masked players explore a dark mansion armed only with flashlights and revolvers. Proximity chat turns nearby whispers, footsteps and gunshots into both jump‑scares and comedy, making each match a fresh tale of chaos.

The title offers PvP, a rule‑bending Wildcards mode, a co‑op PvE “Graveyard Shift”, and hidden items called Devil’s Toys. Cross‑platform multiplayer, full controller support and free Guest Passes let friends join without extra cost.

01 / THE GUIDE

Game Premise

Players conceal their identity behind a mask and must decide between staying in darkness or clicking a flashlight. The description stresses that the difference between light and dark influences every decision, affecting visibility and risk.

A single purchase allows the host to invite up to five friends, who can download a free Guest Pass Edition to join the same matches, creating a full party of six without additional purchase.

  • Observe how staying in darkness changes your visibility and risk compared with using the flashlight.
  • Test the flashlight only when navigation feels uncertain.

02 / THE GUIDE

Wildcards Mode

Wildcards are described as powerful game‑changers that let players add effects such as bear traps, altered team sizes, wall‑piercing shots, or oversized bobble heads. Each effect reshapes the match by changing a rule or adding a new hazard.

The mode’s tagline states that “chaos is always in the cards,” indicating that players can select a Wildcard before a round to modify the experience, but the description does not specify using more than one at a time.

  • Try a single Wildcard per match to see its direct impact.
  • Note how each Wildcard alters player movement and combat flow.

03 / THE GUIDE

Whispers in the Dark

Full proximity chat creates tense moments as players hear muffled footsteps, gunshots and rival laughter through the mansion’s corridors. Audio cues become a source of information about nearby activity.

Because whispers travel only to nearby players, sound can be used to locate opponents or avoid danger, turning ordinary conversation into a strategic element.

  • Listen for gunfire to gauge where combat is occurring.
  • Move quietly when you want to stay hidden from nearby ears.

04 / THE GUIDE

PvE Mode: Graveyard Shift

Graveyard Shift lets two players team up against supernatural forces such as twisted demons, creeping shadows and blazing skulls. The goal is to collect golden relics and return them to a vault while surviving enemy waves.

The description notes that the longer players survive, the stronger the opposition becomes, indicating a scaling difficulty that intensifies over time.

  • Coordinate relic routes with your partner to reduce exposure.
  • Focus fire on the most threatening enemies to thin the wave.

05 / THE GUIDE

The Devil’s Toys

Hidden throughout the mansion are traps, weapons and equipment called Devil’s Toys. Items include night‑vision pills, chandelier traps, bear traps and molotov cocktails, each offering a different way to survive or eliminate opponents.

The variety of toys means each match can feel distinct, as players discover and employ different tools to gain an advantage in the dark corridors.

  • Pick up night‑vision pills when you need to see without a flashlight.
  • Place chandelier traps in high‑traffic areas for potential ambushes.

    Midnight Murder Club FAQ

    How many players can join a single match?

    One purchase lets the host invite up to five friends, and each friend can use a free Guest Pass, allowing six players total.

    What does proximity chat affect during gameplay?

    Proximity chat transmits nearby voices, so whispers, footsteps and gunshots can be heard by players close enough, influencing awareness and positioning.

    Is Graveyard Shift limited to two players?

    The description states the mode is for teaming up with a friend, so it is designed for two players; solo availability is not confirmed.
