Our take on Midnight is Lost
The unusual backward-solving premise receives the most attention, while the overall scope is compact: 30 puzzle levels, a soundtrack, and hidden minigames. The island setting and Midnight’s journey provide context, but the main activity remains Sokoban-style puzzle solving.
What is Midnight is Lost?
Midnight is Lost is a Sokoban puzzle game with a reversed approach: its puzzles must be solved backward.
Players guide Midnight, a cat and witch’s animal helper, after he becomes lost on a mysterious island and seeks a way home. The game includes 30 handcrafted levels that turn familiar box-pushing challenges into more complex problems requiring careful planning. Alongside the main puzzles, players can discover secret minigames. An exclusive and immersive soundtrack accompanies the adventure. The game’s structure centers on solving individual levels, exploring the setting through Midnight’s story, and uncovering additional minigames.
