Endless loop
Midnight Monitor: Aldercourt takes place in the titular Aldercourt Station, a subway train stop situated in the heart of London's Travel Network of interconnected lines. It's one of the places you can explore in your tour of the city. However, you're finding it hard to navigate through its passages as if you're running around in circles. Things are taking a turn for the curious and bizarre.
At its core, this horror game is an atmospheric walking simulator with hidden object mechanics wherein you will keenly search for subtle changes as you loop around the station. There are over 40 anomalies to spot and observe. It can be anything from people acting a little strange to writings on the wall and even outright bizarre objects appearing out of nowhere.
Most of the things you'll witness are harmless, but there will be instances when your life will be in danger from someone or something coming straight at you. Keep on high alert and react quickly. Be prepared for jump scares. The game’s developer said that it is heavily inspired by scary internet stories around the Backrooms, the Liminal Spaces concept, and other games of the same genre.
A different experience
Most psychological horror experiences revolve around dark and atmospheric situations, but Midnight Monitor: Aldercourt breaks that norm with its unique take on the genre that's disturbing yet dreamlike at the same time. Its unusually bright and chipper presentation belies its sinister underlying. The game can be completed from 15 minutes to two hours. Some players may opt to find every anomaly and play longer.
