Midnight Mysteries 2: Salem Witch Trials

About

Midnight Mysteries 2: Salem Witch Trials is a point-and-click adventure that drops you into the shadowy streets of 17th-century Salem. As a ghost-hunting sleuth, you’ll investigate the sudden death of author Nathaniel Hawthorne, whose spirit claims the town’s dark past is tied to his mysterious demise. Solve puzzles by collecting occult artifacts, decoding cryptic clues, and navigating fog-cloaked cemeteries. The gameplay leans heavily on inventory-based challenges and environmental storytelling, with a focus on figuring out the connection between historical witchcraft trials and Hawthorne’s fatal accident. The game builds on the formula that made the first Midnight Mysteries title a hit, with a spooky atmosphere and over 100 interactive scenes. While it lacks the polish of modern adventure games, fans of classic point-and-clicks praise its eerie setting and layered mystery. A 2010 release with PC-only support, it’s best played with periodic breaks, the snowstorm that kills Hawthorne might just make you check your windows too.
