(1/2) The Kickstarter campaign for #burnthemidnightoil has unfortunately been delayed to Q1 2026‼️

In the meantime, we're opening a Patreon! This decision will allow most of our team to go work on the full game while the rest wrap up the finishing details on the demo.

You've seen Dante's flat, now it's Circe's turn!

Over the years, Circe's collected various trinkets (and a couple of skeletons). As she doesn't require any sleep, she's unfortunately just got a sofa instead of a coffin ⚰️

We're thrilled to reveal our first BG preview by
@cameronfeltart.bsky.social!

Dante's ready to leave at any moment, so he doesn't keep a lot of personal belongings in his flat. He's got the essentials, though! Like a bed... and a lamp...

Zeno's got a knack for winding up in trouble.

Are you willing to get into some with him? 💥

It doesn't take much to get Edgar flustered.

Should we show him mercy or tease him even more? 😳

As a human, Raoul is eager to learn more about the supernatural world.

Will curiosity kill the cat? 🐈‍⬛

Few have ever seen this crabby old vampire smile.

Will you be the one to warm Abraxas' cold heart? 💜

As pretty as he may be, it is best to stay clear of Iridis.

At least we can still enjoy his beauty from afar! ... Right? 🤔

🔍 RELATIONSHIP CHART: Nocturne

Life on the run isn't for the faint of heart. Nocturne puts on a charming front, but she doesn't seem to have anyone she genuinely trusts.

Could Circe become her beacon of light? 🕯️

🔍 RELATIONSHIP CHART: Raoul

Raoul's trying his best to get along with his work partner Dante.

When he gets the chance, he likes to hit up his favorite bar and vent his frustrations to his drinking buddy Edgar. 🍻

🔍 RELATIONSHIP CHART: Abraxas

Abraxas values his privacy to the point where even his own squad know exceptionally little about him outside work.

Though he insists relationships are a distraction he cannot afford, surely he still gets lonely sometimes…?

Being a socially awkward workaholic has made it difficult for Edgar to make (and keep) friends.

Nonetheless, his loyalty has gained him Circe’s trust… and perhaps something more? 🧡

🔍 RELATIONSHIP CHART: Iridis

Anyone who's met Iridis usually tries their best to never run into him again.

Whether Dante will regret meeting him or not depends entirely on Iridis' mood.

🔍 RELATIONSHIP CHART: Zeno

Zeno’s famous (or infamous, depends on who you ask) for staying one step ahead of those who wish to see him arrested.

Despite his issues with supernatural police, he’s struck up an unexpected friendship with Dante…

🔍 RELATIONSHIP CHART: Circe

Circe is one of two protagonists in Burn the Midnight Oil.

Once the eternal companion of an ancient vampire, Circe is now a relentless flirt who avoids romantic attachments like the plague. Will someone convince her to give love another chance? 🖤

🔍 RELATIONSHIP CHART: Dante

Dante is one of two protagonists in Burn the Midnight Oil.

A brash hellhound who’s packed and ready to leave the city at a moment’s notice. Unless… there might be someone who could convince him to stay? 👀

TRIVIA: IRIDIS 💎

Iridis is quite the mystery.

He'd like to keep it that way. 🤐

TRIVIA: NOCTURNE 🔮

Nocturne claims to be an open book. If there's anything she won't tell you, she promises it's for your own good.

Are you willing to believe her? 🤔
