Midnight Train is an Western mystery/adventure game with horror elements by Lydia, the creator of Aria's Story, using RPG Maker VX Ace as its engine. The game is focused on exploration, story and puzzles. It's an episodic game, with four chapters in total.Luna, a mute girl who communicates through sign language, is a traveler looking for a certain place. Suddenly, while she's travelling in the Midnight Express, people around her disappear and the train stops at a mysterious building in a black void. There, she finds a pocket watch with some instructions; she has three hours to find the next train before time runs out or she will be trapped in that world forever. Meeting up with wannabe detective Neil Lawton, who also has a pocket watch, and several other characters in the process who are also trapped and seek freedom, Luna must work with Neil to traverse the building, solve the many puzzles within, and escape from the clutches of the living Midnight Train.Can be downloaded here. | |

Bridal Carry | |
| Midnight Train (Video Game) / int_187228e0 | comment |
Bridal Carry: When Neil feels exhausted due to Diana's poison/anesthetic, Luna effectively carries him on her arms throughout the spiky traps. Neil later returns the favor and carries Luna when she passes out because of her trauma to explosion. | |

Deadly Game | |
| Midnight Train (Video Game) / int_1d91d828 | comment |
Deadly Game: The Midnight Express forces its prisoners to traverse through four buildings filled with death traps and puzzles, and gives them three hours to escape each building, or else they are trapped until they die. Downplaed as the train will at least provide food for losers so they can live inside, but they are still trapped until they die. | |

All Crimes Are Equal | |
| Midnight Train (Video Game) / int_211eedd | comment |
All Crimes Are Equal: The Midnight Express imprisons criminals inside its dimension and psychologically torments them regardless of what crime they committed. Committing perjury, illegally experimenting and making chemicals, accidentally killing the mayor's son, and stealing jewels, as done by Neil, Diana, Apollo, and Selene, respectively, gets them the same treatment as Luna, Cynthia, and Justice I, who have killed tons of people on behalf of their organization, Black Gear. This is best shown in a puzzle in Chapter 4, where you must identify which of six skulls is the culprit of a crime in order to sentence them to execution via being Squashed Flat, but all the skulls are lying in their statements. If you pick the right one, it gets squashed... and then all the other skulls are as well, because perjury is also a crime, and according to the train, one deserving of death. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Midnight Train (Video Game) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: The music box Diana brings with her is eventually used to calm her down when she tries to kill Luna. This time with a literal gun, the empty gun and the three bullets Neil found throughout the third building comes in handy when he needs to shoot some targets to finish a puzzle. The blackboards in the buildings give hints on how to break the curse of the Midnight Express. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Midnight Train (Video Game) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: The entire reason that the Black Gear vigilante organization was founded is that the police failed to apprehend criminals and malcontents like the mayor's son, the Mad Bomber terrorist, Neil's uncle, and the child kidnappers. Given that Apollo's stepfather was a Dirty Cop who would happily have him arrested for accidentally killing the mayor's son, they may have a point. | |

Big Bad Duumvirate: The titular Midnight Train is a cursed entity that traps the main characters inside the building and forces them to play its game, where they must escape the buildings within three hours or be trapped forever. It's working alongside Justice II, leader of the vigilante Black Gear organization, who organizes the killing of criminals that the police cannot catch and is responsible for Luna's tragic past, him having raised her, as well as the one who sent her to the Midnight Train for defecting. | |

Cynthia considers the Black Gear vigilante organization to be heroes of justice. In the last chapter, it's revealed she worked for them. | |

However, the Luna-Neil-Apollo trio is the most notable since they actually combine their strength together to come through the traps and riddles, while Diana doesn’t help much and the Luna-Neil-Selene trio gets separate for half of the chapter. | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: Due to how his personality clashes with others, Neil has this the most. Neil doesn't like it when Apollo actively tries to separate him and Luna, and Apollo's constant snarks never help. However, after getting to know each other better, they realized how they ability can compensate for the other's weaknesses and decided to fight the Midnight Express together. Apollo still loves teasing Neil, though. He also becomes this with Selene, as she's jealous of how he and Luna became close in such a short time and thinks he's a loser, while Neil is suspiscious of her cheerful persona. However, after being forced to work together, Neil comes to understand why she is Luna's best friend while Selene starts to acknowledge him as a Nice Guy, even apologizing for only caring about Luna's wellbeing at the beginning of their journey. | |
