Our take on Midnight Margo
Its emphasis on Margo’s personal story, dilemmas, and visual presentation leaves less room for broad exploration or systems-heavy roleplaying. The result is a focused narrative experience rather than a large, open-ended RPG.
What is Midnight Margo?
Midnight Margo follows Margo through an absurd, sombre adventure centred on roleplaying, puzzles, and a mysterious letter.
As she adjusts to a changed life, the message pulls her into an unfolding scheme involving existential unease, interpersonal tensions, ethical choices, vivid personalities, and past adversaries. Players gather equipment and unusual artifacts, occasionally solve puzzles, and face former enemies. The game combines photographic collage artwork with painted details, spoken conversations, and an atmospheric musical score composed by Jacob Lincke.
