Horror Game Where A Fox Furry Stares At You In The Corner While You Clean - Midnight Maid Night 

Welcome to the What Does The Comment Say? Club, how What Does The Comment Say? are ya?

Naomi is the best character in this game- deadass calls a ghost “my guy” to his face

Regarding the bird woman, I think she's actually meant to be a Kikimora, which are a slavic bird spirit that are notorious for cleaning houses in contracts

.. Honestly, I like the fact the dev likes the "Happy endings" Oh no, the vengeful spirit wants to stop the protags from leaving! The butler "Haha, anyway, there's a heatwave. Perish, worm. Anyway, with that said and done, have a goodone." *vanishes to the afterlife* I dunno. It's nice.

This guy did just appear and started makin' cool game after other, didn't he?

The world setting in his games feels like a modern Fantasy like world, seeing as there's strange demonic like rituals and all these different animal like characters along with humans

It feels like this game is loosely connected to the dev's prior games. The maids' cancelled appointment sounds like the diner from Shadowcatcher, and the villain of the hospital game was also part of the Vermander family (who lost his money in the good ending, which is probably why the hotel is sold to a new owner)

This developer can make the most real, grounded and personable characters somehow. Like the surreal style doesn't even phase me anymore since I'm just interested in the dialogue, which is feat of its own since I mostly despise dialogue in any kind of game.

Voluptuous anthro/demi-human characters? ✔ Overlapping narrative? ✔ Working class protagonist? ✔ Supernatural shenanigans? ✔ Yup. This guy definitely has a set style. Can't wait for the next one honestly.

This is genuinely the first time I've seen a horror game where a disgruntled spirit realized you were not their target, apologized and went on their way. Usually they just kill you because that's what ghosts are always written to do.

This is ironically accurate: cockroaches are actually quite fastidious critters, and if they feel they've somehow dirtied themselves they clean themselves up right away! The only reason they "contaminate" things is because they're spreading around germs that were already present in the environment, so it's more your own fault for letting things get that unsanitary in the first place. And they honestly kind of evolved to eat the gross stuff we leave behind anyway, so yeah...a cockroach maid is actually scientifically realistic! Shoutout to Jonathan Wojik for educating me on this!

"The ashes contained in that oven aren't just from the wood, you know" and "He said she was under the floorboards 'where she belonged' " are some GREAT pieces of dialogue to show how cruel Jeremiah was.

sometimes I feel the dev wrote the kind of stories almost akin to children stories. it contains talking animals or magic animals, it doesnt try to be serious, and then always ending on positive note. strangely comforting in a sense, cause you know everything can work out at the end

I like how manly doesn’t even have to really mention the dev anymore,I know he said the title but it can be tricky to remember a single title from all his uploads. But boy you sure don’t forget this art style

I'm really enjoying the world building the dev is putting into the games,shadow people from another land,weird creepy man that goes into people houses and kidnap children,forest spirits that like highjacking cars.etc.. I hope to see more from this talented individual

Agatha was easily the spookiest despite not actually being hostile, just the way she was hiding in he corners so you wouldn’t see her until you close the door? That was really neat the first few times, wasn’t expecting it at all.

That reveal of Naomi's lower half was perfect, completely upended the perception of even the ones familiar with the developer.

Cornelius is just such an og, haunted a guy for years or perhaps decades just to deliver a newspaper and weather forecast and politely apologises when he grabs the wrong person

The Vermander from this game and J.P. Vermander from the other game look different in a couple of ways. The differences in the head and facial hair could just be due to time, but they also have a different nose shape. So I'm leaning towards them being relatives, especially since Joseph claims to have always treated the help well, but J.P. didn't have his change of heart until sometime in his adulthood.

.... Actually if you think about it, the Harpy holding the phone for the Insect lady makes sense. Talons can scratch thing needing picked up, and you might knock something over with your wings. The Bug can carry more with the multiple arms. ....why am i talking about this in such a casual manner.

I like the idea that Midnight Maid-ing is so adventurous and eventful, they could probably share stories with the Ghostbusters and Mystery Inc. It really opens up the possibility of many, many sequels with the Midnight Maids, and I'm down for that.

I'm pretty sure this game takes place after the last game's good ending. It ended with Vermander losing his estate which the main characters are now cleaning up the manor before the new owner arrives. I wonder if the next game will continue this story, but this seemed to wrap things up nicely for the Vermanders.

Please someone give Zed enough money and resources to make an animated serie of his universe, Manly's constant references to Courage while playing these games is on point and the nostalgia is hitting hard.

Definitely one of the best horror developers when it comes to making characters

Maybe Agatha's purpose, mechanically, is that you're supposed to have to chase her out of the room so that you can get the candles back on? But the father shows up so regularly that you barely lose any time by just hiding instead.

Anthropomorphic cockroach exists: Thanks, I hate it. Questionable character models aside, this developer really is great at making captivating storylines. I'm very invested in the lore of this universe at this point.

1:29 I am calling it now, that is a reference to beware the shadow catcher. Not only is that what Sam says, but Maude insists on cleaning the place herself.

Heres my thoughts: Every Vermander has a J name. Joseph is an ancestor who tried to right the family's wrongs but he obviously failed. The family obviously continued after with some descendant of joseph or another child. Years later JP preforms the ritual at the haunted estate to summon the family demon. The reason the family was wealthy is ended and JP has to sell the house (Probably gladly). However Joseph still haunts the house along with the other vermanders. The last ghosts of the vermanders are finally taken care of... freeing the last vermander JP to actually finally change to follow Joseph's legacy instead of Jerimiah's

32:04 God this Dev knows how to make the perfect tension release scare without needing to do a screem or gore. Seriously one of the best out there and I hope they get more people to enjoy their works! ❤️❤️❤️

Ok but the fact that there’s a gross bug working for a cleaning service is actually hilarious and I hope it was an intentional choice 💀

Happy to see Zed providing us with more wholesome material.

This creator is really putting out the content, it's really impressive to see this level of dedication!🤩

This developer is the best at making their characters have such huge thick beautiful personalities

I’m honestly getting addicted to his games. The artstyle is very recognizable but the true focus is on the characters and writing which is just top notch considering this is a horror game by a small developer

0:37 Oh dear lord! Knowing my fear of roaches, I would have a difficult time getting used to sentient ones if we were to exist in that world.

I honestly like this a lot, the world is not there but honestly its great so far. The fact that (essentially) Furries, humans, hybrids, mythical creatures, everything is possible here. Demons, rituals, spirits, ghosts, curses, its honestly really REALLY cool

I saw the thumbnail and got so excited like I love these games I love the storytelling and the southern twang reminds me of home. Genuinely looking forward to seeing what this game has to offer

I love his game style of how he creates the story and how he also includes giant life sized creatures into it, it’s funny but cool at the same time.

I love how with every game made by this creator Manly gets progessively more confounded by the character design

I don't like cockroaches or bugs, but having her be a cockraoch is interesting because it allows her to carry multiple boxes much more than her partner could. I love how the dev cleverly designed the characters in this way; it shows thought behind the characters and the game itself, amazing! Thank god Zed didn't make Ruth a spider tho..

I think one of the things I like the most about this developer's games is that when the MCs are presented with these supernatural events, for the most part they roll with it. I find that really refreshing. They're not constantly denying the otherworldly things they're experiencing. It's just like "Oh. This mansion we have to clean out is also haunted? So long as we can get paid, no big deal." Also I really like that little line mentioning that cleansing spirits from the places they clean is a common enough occurrence that they actually know how much more they will bill for it. While I'll admit in the beginning the character designs were a little off-putting (honestly for me it was more their faces than bodies), it's all grown on me. If nothing else, it's great to see some video game characters of the plus size variety.

Ok but for real I'm glad Agatha and Joseph can share their afterlife together in the good ending.

Zed: "ok, so the mechanics of this game will have you juggling multiple tasks by the end while avoiding the enemy and trying to still be efficient on time"💪😤 Also Zed: "You have to look down from the correct angle or else your vision is blocked by a backbreaking mountain range" 👀💦

These guys games never get old I tell ya! All the games he makes are so good! You can always tell if it’s his game by the unique style!

I see Zed-Technician, I watch. Dude is a positive anomaly in horror games.

Game Dev really cornering that .... *checks notes, squints* "BBW bug-maid lovers"-demographic, huh? Jokes aside, these games are all pretty cool, I like the grounded, working-class characters and their no-nonsense approach to problem solving, like "yeah there's a monster out to get me and all, BUT RENT IS DUE TOMORROW". If that isn't relatable I dunno what is.

I'm hoping some certain characters from the previous games would make a cameo. Like that Jane Doe or anyone. I'm interested in their universe.

The creator of these games does pretty well pumping these out.

This game creator, neigh, game artist reminds me of an old diner located two blocks off the highway next to a run down gas station that’s run by a kind older couple and the chef’s blind in one eye. The food they serve might look strange to most people, but those who choose to take a bite find out that it’s well worth detouring for.

This dev is so creative with his characters, and I’m not talking about the designs, moreso the dialogue.

do you think ruth was always like that or if she just awoke one morning from uneasy dreams to find herself like that addendum; they could totally charge 200 extra for that job, that was like 4 spirit removals

One of my favorite devs is back at it again! They've got this gritty, but realistic feel that I can't get from any other series. Gotta love the wholesome characters, too, they've got lots of *personality* if I do say so myself.

I hope this creator never has burnout and keeps putting out banger after banger. The characters and game play are getting better and better.

I honestly want a whole game centered around Cornelius.

I am here for these furry horror games with a pro-worker perspective. They are very interesting in unique ways, and unironically this might be my favorite set of horror games

This is one of my favorite developers and I’m not just saying that because I’m a furry I actually mean it. The story is always interesting and the characters are nice, good gameplay too

Zed Tech games are starting to become some of my favorites. You can tell they have a beautiful sense of humor and they understand that horror games don’t have to be so bleak. They can be scary but satisfying because things work out or just “don’t and that’s okay”. Love these games ❤️

i love how joseph is just like. randomly popping out from nowhere with “here, have some random family lore” and then disappearing like a ghost

I gotta say, I honestly feel sorry for Joseph, having such an utter bastard of a father. His own lover, so coldly murdered. Damn. The writing in these games are genuinely great, and I look forward to whatever the Dev puts out next!

i really have to hand it to the dev for being able to write very charming and engaging characters everytime, i always feel very drawn to them in every game

Considering the game universe and character variety, it's only a matter of time before we get a character who has a sandwich or microwave for a head that ends up on a night shift at a haunted gas station

How does this guy come up with these stories. They're so wild, yet engaging

Ok it was really jarring when we started out with a human woman…. Then go to some kind of bug lady. Like… I didn’t consider insect people in this world for some reason… Ok, did not expect Naomi to be a harpy…

It was fantastic that our player character has four arms. Represents the four souls you move on? This creator is great at writing characters I instantly like. It's not that they have hugely distinct personalities, but they're very real and down-to-earth.

I don't know what's better, Manly getting legitimately absorbed in the lore of this universe, or that a roach is doing cleaning work. Well. I suppose roaches DO show up when things are messy. Fun game too btw.

This setting is honestly very compelling despite being obviously made on limited resources. I look forward to every game this developer makes.

Just started watching, but the intro with the camera pulling away to show off Ruth in the car made me genuinely laugh

I love this developer. He always some how makes the most grounded, and real, characters in the strangest of situations

I love that the cancelled job was clearly the dinner from the shadowcatcher

God this dude needs to put out like a google doc or something about the world these games take place

Five seconds into the gameplay and I say to myself, "Ah yes, this dev."

These games are always the most anticipated ones from me. Honestly dev of the year, every year.

i genuinely LOVE this devs games so far!! every single character has been incredibly charming n real??? im super impressed by their storytellin n watchin their art evolve!!!! cant wait to see more of their games :)

I think I enjoy hearing manly’s reaction to this author’s games more than any of the gameplay.

I'm not the only one that thought that was a secret door in the living room right? Manly even walks up to it when he first enters the room but I guess it doesn't do anything.

There’s something so comforting about this creators world building and characters. I know the meme is “awooga big booby” but honestly I just wanna give these characters a hug and have them tell me everything’s gonna be ok They’re written so beautifully and have some absolutely banger designs. Dev if you’re reading this, I love your work so much! Please never stop making games ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

I don’t know what it is about this developer in particular, but I always look forward to their games. I can’t wait to continue to see more from them.

I'm absolutely enamored with this dev's games, I saw the artstyle and instantly got SO excited, I love watching you play all their games, Manly.

At first seeing this devs work I was skeptical of the design choices, but it really grew on me. Always glad to see more of their work.

My favorite thing about these games are that they always feel like the perfect length

The mirror thing and peering into your hiding spot, nice touches, well played dev, well played

As a fox furry, I do in fact love staring at people from my corner while they are cleaning

Don't you just love discussing a philosophical question with your insect bestie while riding towards a creepy building in a horror game?

I actually really like his art style for his games. They could use a little bit of polish but it is really charming

As soon as I see that font I know we are about to play something good. This dev is crazy, pumping out games like this!

32:04 - now THAT was a fantastic jumpscare.

Bruh when I say I giggled like a little school girl when I saw it was this developer 😭 hands down easily my fav developer! I love how fun and engaging the gameplay is! it feels as though ppl wanna only do walking simulators now adays!

Credit where it's due to Vermander Jr here, turned his life around, helped the community, lost weight, got buff, got a gf, told his dad to step off, real nice self improvement

I'd be fine having a harpy and a giant roach clean my haunted house.

I find the Dialogue of this game quite something. Plus knowing that it's a reference to man in the window, the creator has put continuous effort into the game.

"Which is a horror from the creator of" Manly at this point you should let us know when these types of are NOT made by the creator of man in the window

I like this guy's work, he's got a distinct and entertaining style!

_Teamwork works_ I love the characters in these games. They are so likeable that you wish you'd be working with them, even in these totally bizarre environments. They would be fun friends to have and that is a warm feeling about all of Zed Technician's games. And you have to laugh at the irony of a cockroach as a maid.

Ah Another high brow, work of art video game from my favorite, cultured video game creator! Cheers! *Raises wine glass sophistically*

One thing I really like about this developer is that, despite our protagonists being animals, bugs, and even hybrid/mythological creatures, the motivations are (ironically) very human reasons. Protecting family, supporting the needy, even just getting the money necessary to keep your business going, they're all very relatable things that you can see yourself siding with if you were faced with the supernatural. Which makes the paranormal seem even more outlandish in these games. I mean, how absolutely insane does something have to be to count as "supernatural" when you're playing as a cockroach maid?

I love how these are all different games but still has the same feel in a way

Having a distinct game style is what helps alot and honestly I get excited whenever I see a new game of his

This universe is so strange, and yet the dialogue and characterization is top tier. Wth?

I always love games from this dev. The character designs (while they do indicate a clear preference) are nice, and while ordinarily I would feel skeeved out, I really don't feel that way here, because instead of just focusing on their bodies the dev just treats them like every day people and doesn't really make a fuss about their proportions. Not to mention, I love that there's genuinely happy endings for the true endings? Like it's not like it's all sunshine and rainbows, but just people getting to live their lives in peace and having enough to make it to another day. It's like it's saying "even if things are hard, there is still good in the world, and good people, and even when people are not so good, they can still change and become better than they were the day before." It's nice and just really heartwarming to see a game that isn't focused on being an angst factory in a while.

Knew the dev from the thumbnail alone. This dev has become truly iconic. I also enjoyed the little spooks as the night ramped up what with seeing Agatha silently chilling in one of the corners just before you shut the hiding space door or that one unintentional spook when Manly opened the hiding space too early and the dad was *right there*. Gotta say though - the title and thumbnail were uncomfortably clickbaity for my tastes, although it wasn't *technically* wrong.
