About This Game

🕶️ Game Overview

"Midnight Yammy" is a brand-new NES homebrew — an 8-bit action puzzle game that runs on real NES-compatible hardware.

Rather than working around the original system's limitations, I embraced them—posing a simple question: how can I craft something truly compelling within those constraints?

Clear blocks, phase through ceilings, and switch between red and blue platforms. These basic mechanics combine to form deeply interwoven puzzles that reward insight and intuition.

Built entirely from scratch as a solo homebrew project, "Midnight Yammy" isn’t just nostalgic—it’s a new challenge born from an old soul.

A fresh world of 8-bit gameplay awaits.

🚨🚨 ※ Attention ※ 🚨🚨

This game is designed to let you experience the retro gaming culture of its time more deeply.
Accordingly, no in-game tutorials or guides are provided.
We strongly recommend reading the included manual carefully before playing.

🎩 Story & World

"Welcome—to the mysterious magic stage that opens only at night."

Before the spotlight finds the stage, the elusive bunny phantom thief appears.

She steps into puzzle-filled chambers—each cloaked in mystery.

Clear blocks, create platforms, slip through ceilings… like a magician revealing her secrets.

And then comes her signature illusion: a dramatic stage shift.

The red and blue platforms switch. Paths emerge, walls vanish—or the opposite, as routes become sealed off.

With every spark of inspiration, the stage reshapes itself like a living illusion.

Yammy’s goal is to collect every treasure chest hidden across the stage. Once they’re in hand, the escape door bursts open—in the most spectacular fashion.

A magic stage, built on trickery and layered with secrets.

Now, the spotlight turns to you. Let your brilliance spark the moment of truth.

🌍 Development Background

"Midnight Yammy" began as a personal passion project—originally developed as a physical cartridge for NES-compatible systems in Japan.

When players without consoles showed interest, I felt it was important to make the game available to them.

So, the game is now launching on Steam first, to offer easier access to more players worldwide.

This PC version was created to share a nostalgic-yet-fresh experience—delivered through the expressive language of 8-bit games—with players around the world.
