The midnight game generator invents a fictional ritual with creepy game rules: what you need, the exact steps, the signs it’s working and what happens if you break a rule. It’s for horror writers drawn to the rites-and-rituals genre and for readers who love following the instructions from a safe distance. It’s free, instant and runs in your browser.
How to use it
Generate a ritual and write it up as instructions passed down by someone who barely made it through. Ritual stories work because the rules feel specific and arbitrary, and the reader knows one of them is going to be broken. Explore our rites and rituals category, and read Kisaragi Station to see how dread can unfold one strange step at a time. Every game here is pure fiction, made for stories rather than real life, so keep the danger on the page.
