'Midnight Ghost Hunt' Gains One Million New Players, Announces New Roadmap

by Rainier on July 3, 2023 @ 2:18 p.m. PDT

Midnight Ghost Hunt is a ghostly hide-and-seek 4v4 multiplayer game where you play as either Ghosts or Ghost Hunters against other players.

The Ghosts hide inside inconspicuous furniture and hurl themselves at invading Hunters.

The Hunters must find and destroy all of the Ghosts before the clock strikes MIDNIGHT.

At MIDNIGHT, the lights flicker off and all dead Ghosts return as vengeful spirits!

The tables turn, the Hunters become the Hunted!
They must try to survive the Ghost onslaught until they can escape.

In Midnight Ghost Hunt, take control as either a hunter or a ghost in this chaotic 4v4 hide-and-seek game which brings a bold and thrilling new take on the prop hunt genre. Hunters must work together using an array of hi-tech gadgets and weapons to hunt down and destroy Ghosts as they attempt to conceal themselves around Midnight Ghost Hunt’s chilling maps. The Spectrophone, Radar and Pathfinder can detect ghostly presences, while a range of sledgehammers, harpoons, and salt-spewing shotguns can be utilised to destroy the Ghosts. Use the Vacuum to hoover up any spectral remains.

Ghost players possess seemingly innocuous objects in order to hide from the Hunters and bide their time until the witching hour. The spectres will want to keep moving to keep their ectoplasm buildup low or else risk being discovered by the Hunters. Ghosts also have the ability to claim supernatural powers, which include turning invisible, causing furniture to float, and conjuring a dangerous Ghostly miasma. Ghosts can even hide in plain sight by masquerading as a Hunter’s doppelgänger!

The Hunters will desperately try to destroy every Ghost before the clock strikes MIDNIGHT. If they fail, the tables turn, the Ghosts become supercharged and the Hunters become the Hunted. They must try to stay alive long enough for evac to arrive.


Coffee Stain is pleased to welcome one million new players to its ghostly multiplayer prop haunt game, Midnight Ghost Hunt, since the game’s release on the Epic Games Store in June!

To celebrate, the game is revealing its brand new roadmap for the coming months. On the menu are full controller support, in-van entertainment whilst waiting for matches to start, and various other updates and improvements.

Midnight Ghost Hunt is also currently part of the Steam Summer Sale for 66% off until July 13th!

The Q3 (July - September) roadmap lays out plans for the near future, but here are some key highlights:

  • FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT: We are planning to improve our overall controller support over the next few months to provide an equally excellent experience for all players, regardless if you are playing on mouse & keyboard or using a controller.
  • NEW VAN RIDE ENTERTAINMENT: One of the big suggestions we hear from players is the Hunters need more to do during the van ride, so we are cooking up something special for this...be on the lookout for more info soon.
  • HUD / UI IMPROVEMENTS: Over the next few months we will be working on sleeker menus, better tooltips, and enhanced visual cues to hopefully provide more clarity and convenience.
  • STEAM TRADING CARDS: With the introduction of Steam Trading Cards, you'll have the opportunity to collect, trade, and craft cards featuring stunning artwork inspired by the game's universe.
  • JULY VACATIONS: Almost all of our dev team is based in Sweden, and July typically marks the start of a few weeks off for vacations in Sweden! What this means for us is a bit of a slowdown in updates during this time, as we will be working as an even smaller team for the month. However once the vacations are over, you can expect everyone to be back at it 100%, and we have some big things planned!

AND MORE

While that is all we have to share right now, we are certainly working on other things as well; such as Weapon/gadget/ability rebalancing, Bot improvements and additions, Performance improvements, Map revisions and polishing, Matchmaker improvements, Further UI/UX polishing, and more, so be sure to keep an eye out for future announcements.

That’s all for this time, Ghosts and Hunters! Thank you again for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you back on the h(a)unt soon!

Team MGH

Key Features:

  • TONGUE-IN-CHEEK HIDE-AND-SEEK: As a Ghost, conceal yourself inside seemingly harmless pieces of furniture to evade preying Hunters… but when their backs are turned, turn the environment against them with telekinetic bombardment. No chair, lamp, or grandfather clock is innocent in this hijinks-heavy frenzy.
  • MIDNIGHT MAYHEM: The fun isn’t over yet...when the clock strikes twelve, the witching hour begins, and the Hunters become the Hunted. The tables turn and Ghosts become supercharged, giving Hunters a limited amount of time to survive their vengeful wrath.
  • MURDEROUS 4v4 MULTIPLAYER: Play together and communicate with your team and ensure a triumphant victory, giving each other pointers on the paths enemies tend to tread. Create synergies with your team's abilities to outthink and outwit your opponents.
  • HARNESS SUPERNATURAL ABILITIES: The restrictions of reality don’t apply to Ghosts, of course. Claim your supernatural powers, which include turning invisible, causing furniture to float, and conjuring a dangerous Ghostly miasma. Ghosts can even hide in plain sight by masquerading as a Hunter’s doppelgänger! Ghostly Perks include avoiding traps with Untrappable, seeing nearby Hunters through walls with Perception, and extended possess range with Ghostly Reach.
  • ARMED AND READY: Hunters must choose their weapons from a full range of hi-tech gadgets designed to cast out Ghosts from our plane of existence. Detect ghostly presences with the Spectrophone, Radar and Pathfinder, capture them with a Trap, and suck up their spectral remains with the Vacuum – or just blast them to smithereens with the Spectral Cannon, sledgehammers, harpoons, salt-spewing shotguns, and more. Hunters can also select Perks to give them a special boost. Choose from Lightweight’s extra burst of speed, Healing Aura’s health-replenishing capabilities and a host of other powers to get ahead of the game.
  • A BEVY OF BLOOD-CURDLING MAPS: Explore an array of unsettling settings, including an abandoned theatre, eerie mansion and cursed pirate ship. Each location brings with it different tactical considerations and items to throw about… as well as varying opportunities to play tricks on your opponents.

Midnight Ghost Hunt is in development for PC (Steam).
