The Midnight Society Virtual Console at /AccessĪround the same time, Midnight Society opened up a Discord server, and gave members the choice to select the “Claws” role, granting access to ARG-related channels in the Discord. Every night so far, the console manages to advance a little bit closer to loading “Midnight Protocol”, adding more and more modules like security footage from a facility’s sectors and mission logs.

At the time, logging in with those credentials would open up a virtual console and start to download a series of files, before the console crashes and reboots to try again. On January 1st, the Midnight Society’s Twitter account posted a system error message directing players to /Access, with the login credentials “VSM” briefly shown in a glitched GIF accompanying the tweet. Trail to the Text Adventure: Glitched Tweets and Virtual Consoles Curiously, the core of that experience is a text adventure facsimile of a first-person-shooter game, coded to play out through Discord private messages. That process has started surprisingly soon, as Midnight Society has already launched a teaser alternate reality game for their first game, playing out across their website and Discord server. Part of the studio’s promise in the press release was to “ communities and influencers much earlier in the development process”. Won't try again, huh? Miller was already sliding his gun around the rock in front of him when Mallory caught his arm and pulled him back.Earlier this month, Midnight Society announced their formation as a new AAA game studio founded by Robert Bowling as studio head, Quinn DelHoyo as creative director, and Dr Disrespect as “6’8″ visionary”. Bitter-mouthed, savage, the American was swearing softly and continuously, oblivious to the pain as he pounded his fist time and again into the sharp-edged gravel before him. Then he became aware of the low murmuring to his left, shifted round again. The gravelly earth beneath his elbows grated harshly as Mallory shifted his weight slightly, looked at the two men to his right, Andrea with his impassive face empty of all expression, Louki with the sheen of tears in his eyes. The sudden silence was curiously oppressive, louder, more obtrusive than the clamour that had gone before. The frenetic stammering of the machine-guns stopped abruptly and in unison, the sound sheared off as by a guillotine. But his voice was steady enough as he spoke, relaxed and almost casual.Right. Even as he spoke he could hear the soft scrape as the three others slid their automatic barrels across and between the protective rocks in front of them, could feel the wave of revulsion that washed through his mind. I'll take the white helmet in the middle, Louki. The middle of the ragged line of advancing soldiers, slipping and stumbling on the treacherous scree, had almost reached the lower limits of the blackened, stunted remains of the copse.They've come far enough. Mallory stared at him, slowly released his grip on the glasses, nodded several times in succession. I have been thinking, and it can be nothing else. But he was grateful to the New Zealander for trying to take their minds off what they had to do.Why don't they use them? That's right, Miller gowled.Cheer us all up. Gawd help us, Miller muttered.Fragmentation bombs, you said He lapsed into gloomy silence. He shook out his pack of cigarettes.Have one? Jus' daydreamin', boss he said easily.Jus' daydreamin'. That inhuman bastard that sent these poor devils up that hill, Mallory said quietly.Make a wonderful pietare seen over the sights of your rifle, wouldn't he? I was only sayin' what Louki told me, he said defensively. They will, Mallory assured him.Just as soon as we fire and they find out where we are. He reached out for his field-glasses but stopped in surprise as Andrea leaned across Louki and caught him by the wrist before he could lift the binoculars.Whats the matter, Andrea? Just one more.Īny second now, Mallory said softly.I only hope that our friend Turzig isn't among this lot. The quiet voice was almost a prayer.That's all I ask.

He shook his head in mortification.Itmust have been me, Andrea. All this started just after I had been on watch-and Panayis didn't have the glasses. He paused, remembering, then grinned wryly.It could have been myself. It would only require a single flash to tip them off. There was no other way, therecould have been no other way. Of course, of course I had been wondering. Miller looked round at him, eyes cold and still and empty of all recognition, then he blinked several times and grinned, a cut and bruised hand automatically reaching for his cigarettes.
