Shootout in dark mansion is spookily good fun

THIS is a rather intriguing little multiplayer shooter that mixes elements of hide-and-seek with first-person gun blasting.

Midnight Murder Club comes from Velan Studios and has progressed from Early Access development to a full release.

The game is a fairly simple one - work with pals or alone in multiplayer games of six people to survive the night in a spooky mansion called Wormwood Manor.

Depending on the mode you choose, you'll either be facing a free-for-all shoot-fest or a team-versus-team battle to become the last ones standing.

The clever use of the dark makes this game stand out from your Call Of Duties. You're thrown into the game with a handgun and a torch and, while you'll need the torch to see where you are and where you're heading in the pitch black of night, this also massively shows rival players where exactly in the room you are.
