Hey [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]!

David Kessler here.

​The Midnight Market is coming​

​The Midnight Market sends a message from the beyond. It shall offer games from worlds unknown, starting on November 7th, at 11:59 pm EST and staying open for 3 nights.

It will feature f̴i̴v̴e̴ four amazing games made by indie creators. Only 50 copies of each game will be available during the Midnight Market. After that, who knows if you'll be able to discover these games again . . .

The Midnight Market is a boutique-style virtual market that lasts for only three nights. It will offer a small, limited selection of games that can't be found elsewhere.

Xoe Allred and Matthew Hocker, the folks behind Lunarpunk games, are fixtures at Protospiel Online. They've teamed up with a bunch of indie game designers for an exiting way to bring more games to life! Most of the games available at The Midnight Market were tested at PO.
