Every night, as the rest of the city sleeps or forgets, a quiet barbershop opens its doors. The Midnight Barber takes place in the narrow alleys of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, during the city's turbulent transition to a democracy. Clara's mysterious establishment serves a clientele of vampires, sirens, werewolves and all the other creatures who have nowhere else to go for their grooming needs.

Through rhythm and conversation, you’ll peel back the layers of those who hide in the margins, unraveling their darkest secrets. Secrets that could put you in the crosshairs of the most influential individuals in Barcelona... supernatural or otherwise.

Trim to the Beat

Match your barber tools to the inner rhythm of your clients in a gameplay experience that blends flow and focus. The atmospheric sounds of your barber tools will build the rhythmic base for the unique, evolving music of the person sitting in your chair. As the city hums outside and the rain taps gently on the window, your ability to cut on time will be crucial to making your clients feel comfortable and more open to conversation.

Drive the Conversation

Choose the right icebreakers to guide each dialogue, earn your clients’ trust, and unlock hidden layers of their story. Every topic you bring up can reveal a new piece of information to progress in your lines of inquiry, but your clients will not always be comfortable enough to open up about it. By cutting to their inner rhythm, you can make them feel at ease and get to the bottom of their stories.

Stories that cut deep

Forge meaningful connections with a cast of enchanted outsiders, each with their own secrets, agendas and ideas of what this new society should look like. As you gain their trust, their stories unfold through a series of intimate barbershop conversations, each of them a piece in an interconnected central mystery. Your choices shape their paths, and theirs will shape yours.

The Midnight Barber offers an innovative blend of relaxing rhythm mechanics and character-driven storytelling, delivering one of the most immersive experiences in the narrative indie landscape.
