Otherworld Interactive and tinybuild’s stealth horror game Hello Puppets: Midnight Show will finally see a release this month. After releasing the full trailer for the game last month, Otherworld Interactive has announced that Hello Puppets will release on October 19th for PC via Steam.
This dramatic prequel to Hello Puppets! VR (which is also available on Steam) reveals the origins behind the infamous terrors in the first game “through jump scares, intense encounters and a thrilling, mystery-filled narrative.”
The year is 1987. You play as Owen Gubberson, creator of a rapidly-failing Muppets knock off called “Mortimer’s Handeemen”. In a last-ditch effort to save his dying show, Owen uses a mysterious spell to bring his puppets to life. Unfortunately for Owen, his Handeemen aren’t how he imagined them: they’re sadistic, evil versions of themselves, and they’re loose in the soundstage. With “plans” for you. You have one night to reverse the spell and escape the Handeemen Sound Stage alive before the puppets slaughter you and escape instead.
Hello Puppets: Midnight Show features a dynamic “Hide and Seek” system against an advanced AI that haunts you and “forces you to study behaviors and adapt your playstyle”. The hiding mechanic also forces you to stay on your toes even while you’re hidden, requiring you to engage in high-stakes minigames and challenges. The Handeeman Sound Stage itself is large and complex, featuring plenty of tools to use against the puppets, hiding spots, and pieces of a larger narrative for you to discover.
