Midnight Blue

A date goes wrong, and Joseph Hartiger ends up somewhere he wasn't supposed to go, underneath the version of reality he thought he lived in. Secret organizations, occult conspiracies, and things from outside the dimensions we're allowed to understand are all down there waiting for him, and the game treats the whole mess with a wink rather than dread.

The story follows Joseph as he gets pulled deeper into this hidden world, piecing together what the organizations know, what the anomalies want, and why any of it noticed him in the first place. It's less about surviving a horror plot and more about a normal guy stumbling through conspiracies he's completely unqualified to handle.

Play consists of reading through Joseph's slide into occult trouble, with the humor and teasing doing a lot of the heavy lifting between revelations. Romance and voyeuristic moments show up along the way, handled with the same joking tone as the conspiracy stuff, so nothing here plays it especially straight. The opening chapter covers the setup and the first real steps into this other world, with more of the conspiracy presumably left for later.
