• 🌟🎉3rd Anniversary Celebration!🎊🌟 - 10 January 2026

  Hello everyone,This is Alfred, the Game Director! No, this isn't written with AI, so please read it.First of all, I wanted to thank you so much for supporting Path of the Midnight Sun over the last 3 years! This was the first game I ever published, and it took me over 12,000 hours in an obscure engine called Visual Novel Maker. I had no one to help me, and I couldn't even code. I had to learn everything from scratch! Technically speaking, the engine only supported visual novels, but I hacked and tweaked it until I was able to create my own RPG system on top. And that's how this game came to be. Never give up!Special Anniversary Illustration 🌟Our lead artist made a very cute illustration to celebrate these 3 years together. Aren't Shiori and Faratras adorable? These characters mean a lot to me. I started writing their stories when I was 15. That's more than half my life ago now, haha. I…

• NEW Bundle discount + Studio Update - 14 March 2025

  Hello everyone, This is Alfred, the Game Director. I wanted to announce that we have reduced the price of Path of the Midnight Sun , which is now set at just $29.91! During sale periods, the difference between the base game and the Collector's Edition will be just a couple of dollars, so I hope new players will find this deal appealing. I also wanted to update longtime players about the inclusion of achievements - at the moment, implementing them is becoming more challenging due to the lack of support from the game's original engine (Visual Novel Maker). Additionally, all of my efforts are currently focused on our new game, Food Devils, which we are developing in Unity with a bigger team. ✨ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2861730/Food_Devils/ The new game's going to be awesome, and soon we’ll be posting updated screenshots and gameplay segments. A demo should also be released in the…

  Hello everyone, thank you for your patience and support. I'm glad to announce that I managed to fix a great number of issues you have reported in the past weeks.

• Update v.1.1 Patch Notes - 15 January 2023

  Hello everyone! I always listen to your feedback, and I'm hard at work to improve the game and fix the issues you have reported! With v.1.1 I wanted to address the low Difficulty that almost everyone experienced after unlocking the Skill Trees in Ch.6 - now the game should be more challenging! I'm the only dev of this game and I try my best to keep up with everything, but I ask for your patience should some changes take a bit to develop. Just a kindly reminder that you can send your feedback & reports in the official Studio Daimon discord server, or here in the threads of Steam Discussions. Without any further ado, here are the notes for this patch! Fixes: - (!) Fixed a glitch that drastically increased Suzaku's Atk after selecting "Finally! My protagonist powers!" at the end of Ch.4 (lol). Also fixed a similar interaction for Faratras in Ch.8. - (!) Fixed a glitch that allowed you to o…

• A message from the Game Director - 20 October 2022

  Hi everyone, I wanted to share a quick update off the back of Steam Next Fest. As a solo developer I've been working non-stop for the past several months to prepare the demo of Path of the Midnight Sun. I've been overwhelmed by the response to the game, which was far beyond what I was expecting. Thousands of people played the demo! It's heartwarming to see so many players enjoying the game I've invested so much time and energy into. Thank you, really. I also received a phenomenal amount of feedback, which has allowed me to spot opportunities to fine-tune the game. But in order to do that, I need some extra time, as I'm working on the game by myself. I thought about the best course of action for weeks, and in the end I've made the difficult decision to delay the launch of Path of the Midnight Sun into the New Year. I know many of you will have been looking forward to playing the game in…
