Mel At Night is a horror game with a visual novel style mixed with adventure and puzzle elements.
The game takes players into a dream world that is both cute and creepy, where you have to find mysterious puzzle pieces, face strange creatures and decide the fate of the surrounding characters
You play as Mel, a character living in dreams that intertwine with reality.
One night, Mel is pulled into a series of strange events: she meets strange creatures (human cats, rabbits, talking insects...), hears the call of a creepy face man and discovers an important object broken into three pieces.
Your mission is to find enough puzzle pieces scattered in many vague locations (candy stores, small theaters, forests, toy gardens...), face guardians who guard the puzzle pieces—some friendly, some hostile—and choose how to handle each situation.
Read and Choose: Mel At Night operates on a visual novel basis: read dialogue, choose answers, and make decisions that lead to different branches of the plot.
Find & Collect: Explore the environment and pick up items (e.g., artificial flowers, medicine, tangerines, and heart-shaped glass pieces).
Each item can be used in different places or given to NPCs.
Mini-Puzzles: Some areas require solving puzzles (color codes, word puzzles, logic puzzles) to open doors or receive rewards.
Collect & exchange: Collected items can be used to help NPCs, exchange for puzzle pieces or open new doors.
Mel At Night is suitable for players who like to experience visual novels with a lot of emotions, want to immerse themselves in a slightly creepy atmosphere, and also want to challenge themselves through puzzles
Mel At Night benefits from a slower read, because its emotional unease and puzzle beats work best when the atmosphere has room to sit.
