Robots At Midnight Out Now on PC and Xbox Series X|S — Dive Into a Stylish Sci-Fi RPG About Family, Survival, and the End of Time
Finish Line Games and publisher Snail Games have officially launched Robots At Midnight, a visually striking, retro-futuristic action RPG available now for PC via Steam and Xbox Series X|S. Set on the mysterious planet Yob, this narrative-driven title follows protagonist Zoe on a desperate mission to rescue her missing father — before midnight hits and her chance at survival slips away.
Whether you prefer accessible exploration or white-knuckle combat, Robots At Midnight caters to a broad range of players with its unique dual difficulty system, compelling world design, and deeply personal storytelling.
A Futuristic World Frozen in Time
The story begins with Zoe waking from two decades of cryo-sleep, only to find her home planet of Yob overrun by malfunctioning robots and environmental decay. The civilization she once knew is gone, and her father, Michael, has disappeared into a cosmic anomaly known as The Blackout.
Now, guided by a floating admin droid named Phlite and armed with the powerful MITT gauntlet, Zoe must battle her way through the ruins, face ancient technology gone rogue, and uncover the mystery behind her family’s fate and the collapse of Yob itself.
Combat That Adapts to Your Playstyle
One of the standout features of Robots At Midnight is its fluid and versatile combat system, which adjusts to your preferred level of challenge:
- Hero Mode: Perfect for story-driven players who want to focus on exploration, dialogue, and the haunting beauty of Yob without high-stakes battles.
- Master Mode: Designed for combat veterans and action-RPG fans, with increased enemy aggression, tighter dodge windows, and high-reward battles that push your skills to the limit.
Combat is centred around Zoe’s MITT gauntlet, an all-in-one traversal and combat tool that allows for:
- Powered punches that shatter enemy defences
- Electromagnetic pulses to disable or manipulate machinery
- Laser beam attacks for ranged precision strikes
You’ll also unlock traversal upgrades and strategic abilities as you explore deeper into the broken ecosystems of Yob.
A Sci-Fi Story About Family, Isolation, and Identity
Robots At Midnight is more than just an action RPG — it’s a heartfelt tale about the bond between parent and child, and the search for connection in a universe left in ruins. Zoe’s journey through Yob is filled with existential questions, unexpected allies, and remnants of a once-thriving society.
Phlite, her witty AI companion, provides both emotional support and tactical guidance. At the same time, the MITT offers new ways to interact with environments, solve puzzles, and uncover secrets hidden in the planet’s deepest layers.
The game’s retro-futuristic visual aesthetic blends sleek 1970s sci-fi design with the vibrant, post-industrial colour palettes of early 2000s animation, giving Robots At Midnight a uniquely nostalgic yet forward-looking feel.

Robots at Midnight is available now on:
- PC via Steam

A new launch trailer is also available, showcasing Zoe’s gauntlet-powered combat, sweeping vistas of ruined Yob, and cinematic glimpses into the narrative.
