midnight man?

[Pixel Rat]

anyone know what to do with the midnight man in the swamp?

The dials to the east and west control where the portal is, and where the real world entrance is. Turn them both to 12 like a clock to make him appear. I got past him by getting him outside and corralling him into the middle chamber with all the sleeping gators. Put both portals there so he'll run in and escape into the real world. You might need to make sure the rock is blocking the entrance irl. Follow him and you'll have him.

Did you interact with the man trapped on the other side after entering the portal in the third hut on the far right of the map? That'll trigger the Midnight Man to appear once you set the "dials" to 12 o'clock.

woah. the first time I played I just fiddled with dials and thought I was done. this time I tried a bunch of stuff. i talked to a man inside the far left room and peered in portal. set dials to 12. tried talking to gator reading book. after talking to man again, he mentioned midnight man. thanks!

Okay I think I got it
Hour hand (small dial) controls the portal location
Minute hand (big dial) controls which gator house exists in the shadow realm

The midnight man can move the boulder, but not after it gets a certain amount of heavy. I think mine was at 8 muscle before I couldn't move it anymore. make sure the boulder is infront of the door

After you set the dismembered clock to midnight and summon him, set both dials to down so it makes middle gatorhouse exists in the shadow realm and has the portal. He runs through it after you chase him a bit and is trapped. Follow him through. Dialogue. Not sure if you go back anymore after that, my dialogue choices put me and the ghost guy back in the real world and disabled the portal

i've set the dials to midnight repeatedly but still no midnight man. Yes, i talked to the dude and now all he says is midnight man. Boulder is in front of the door. I'm ready, just no midnight man.
