Les énigmes de trois heures du matin

Night-time puzzles are the speciality of 3AM Games, a small independent game studio set up by 3AM CONSULTING in Rueil-Malmaison. We design quiet puzzle games for Android meant for those nights when sleep takes its time to arrive.

Each level shows a sleeping apartment block at three in the morning. Windows light up one at a time, and the player pieces together who is still awake and why, using small clues such as a kettle steaming, a cat on a sill or a desk lamp left on.

The palette stays deliberately dark and warm, with large text and soft sound that will not disturb anyone nearby. There are no timers or scores, and a puzzle can be put down at any moment and resumed later.

Stories are gentle and kind, like a baker preparing dough or a student finishing an essay, and solving a window often reveals a small connection between neighbours.

The game is designed by two people who know the three o’clock feeling well. Every building is drawn and tested by hand.

A night mode reduces brightness further and removes all vibration, and a soft fade ends each session after a puzzle if the player wishes. New buildings arrive regularly, each in a different town, and the full game works without a connection. Every building comes with a short epilogue that is revealed at dawn, when the last window goes dark, and the collection of stories grows into a small book about a single sleepless night in many different towns. Text size can be increased for comfortable reading, and the colour palette has been chosen to stay easy on tired eyes. The game asks for no account and stores nothing outside the phone, so a quiet night stays private.
