Story

"Please... don't get up."

Rowan Cox wakes to find himself in a white, empty room. Sat in the corner is a lone girl, repeating herself over and over. There's no door, no windows, nothing but a lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. Why is he here? And how can he get out?

Meanwhile, a shadowy force is starting to move. Assassins have been sent after major politicians, businessmen and other high-profile figures. Rowan's friends find themselves pulled into the troubles, but is this a mystery they can solve?

The Stroke of Midnight is an original-english-language visual novel set in the United Kingdom. It is full-length, estimated at around 40 hours of gameplay, with a powerful OST, and a wide range of art, bringing itself to the standard of the Japanese industry.

Characters

Rowan Cox

The protagonist. Intuitive, pragmatic, and impatient, but with a hole in his memories.

The Girl

Quiet, mysterious and quick to anger. She clearly has some link to Rowan, but neither of them know what.

Josh Butler

Rowan's oldest friend. Quick-witted and imaginative, he runs a detective agency in the heart of London.

Chloe Lance

An old friend of Josh's, and co-owner of the agency. Confident and aloof, she makes sure things get done.

Stanley Cooper

Josh's goody-goody friend. Charming and easily confused, he provides muscle for more dangerous jobs, and is otherwise left to his own devices, or the butt of everyone else's jokes.
