"Midnight" is that dreaded time at which the ghouls smash themselves upon the barricaded civilizations of the living. "Midnight" takes place at 23:00 (11 p.m.) game time, oddly enough, and lasts for ten minutes. Any citizens outside the safety of town are lost forever, at least until their reanimated bodies join the zombie hordes in devouring their former friends and family.
