Midnight Blanc

Midnight Blanc is a flight and reconnaissance game set in 1928, after a nova strips away Earth's protection and brings radiation, creatures from the depths and an ancient cosmic conflict to the planet. Under enforced conscription, a group of locals build a makeshift aircraft to investigate unusual readings over the North Atlantic. You are chosen to pilot it, follow a map and return with your findings.

Fly over the Atlantic

You navigate using a map, course notes and a stopwatch, flying alone over open water in a cramped aircraft with limited forward visibility: its windshield has been removed to make room for fuel. You must rely on the instruments in front of you to stay on course and return alive. A top-secret aerial reconnaissance camera supplied by the military is used to assess selected locations; the government will use its evidence against you in case of insubordination.

Stay on course

Strange creatures from below notice your presence, while the prospect of getting lost weighs on you. The aircraft has no fuel gauge, little room to move and structural creaks that raise doubts about whether it will hold together. Audio design and mechanics shape the unsettling experience of flying alone in the dark over the ocean, where becoming lost means being forgotten.
