Midnight Animal (officially known later in development as Midnight Animal: a Story of Love and Forgetting in Four Parts) was a planned fan-made standalone mod for the top-down shooter game Hotline Miami being developed by Spencer Yan. It would have taken place thirty years after the events of Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. During development, Yan was granted special permission from Dennaton Games to use the source code of the original games. Following a shift in the games direction, the game as well as Yan were met with severe backlash from several different communities over the alleged tracing of artwork. The mod was de facto cancelled by 2019. In August 2023, the source code of the project was published by Yan on GitHub.
