About the Game

"8AM: The Warehouse" traps the player inside a vast logistics warehouse in the dead of night. Conveyor belts hum, forklifts idle in the dark, and the fluorescent lights buzz like insects. A few workers remain, finishing late shifts among endless rows of crates and metal shelves — but something feels wrong. Their movements are repetitive, mechanical… and not everyone who started the night is still accounted for.

From your security booth, you watch dozens of cameras covering loading bays, corridors, and storage aisles. A worker stands motionless beside a stack of boxes for minutes. Another seems to vanish between camera feeds. Machinery powers on by itself. The intercom crackles with fragments of whispered instructions you never gave.

Your task is simple: monitor the warehouse until 8:00 a.m., report anomalies, and keep the operation running. But as time drags on, the system begins to break. Footage desynchronizes. People appear in places they couldn’t reach. A forklift drives itself. Somewhere beyond the security glass, footsteps echo — heavier than human.

Every hour blurs the line between fatigue and hallucination. Is it stress, or something else moving among the pallets? The cameras start showing the same frames over and over, except for one detail that keeps changing: the number of workers left.

"8AM: The Warehouse" is a psychological surveillance horror about repetition, routine, and the quiet collapse of reason under artificial light. The night shift never really ends — it just resets.
