Indie developer Happy Volcano announced 'Midnight Moments', a diorama building game focused on creating cyberpunk cityscapes, on May 28. The game is in development for PC via Steam, with no release date set. Players use modular tools to construct buildings, alleys, and blocks from floors, walls, and rooftops, then add neon signs, lighting, air conditioner units, and other decorations. The diorama is permanently set at night with rain, and neon reflections on wet surfaces contribute to the atmosphere. Players can place residents and cars to add life. There are no goals, scores, or time limits, allowing for relaxed, open-ended play. Happy Volcano previously released 'Modulus', 'You Suck at Parking', and 'The Almost Gone'. The Steam store page is currently accepting playtest sign-ups. As of May 29, the game does not support Japanese language. The studio describes the project as a relatively small-scale passion project.
