About This Game
A QUIET LITTLE JOB
The graveyard needed a night caretaker. You needed the money. From a one-room cabin at the edge of the grounds, the rules seemed simple enough: greet the late visitors, deter the troublemakers, and keep watch over the gates until sunrise.
WATCH THE GATES
A flickering CRT in the corner is your only window on the grounds. Flip between gate cameras, study the dark beyond the fence, decide who gets let in, and who you pretend you never saw. Not every visitor is here to grieve. Some are here for you. And the longer you watch, the more the static doesn't seem right.
PATROL THE GROUNDS
The graveyard's protection is the only thing standing between the living and what rests beneath it. Let it slip, turn the wrong key, ignore the wrong noise, trust the wrong face, and you'll learn more than you bargained for.
EVERY VISITOR HAS A STORY. EVERY STORY HAS A GRAVE.
Read the notes left in the cabin. Learn the families, their dead, and the small terrible reasons they keep coming back after dark. The deeper you dig, the closer you get to the secret the last caretaker tried to run away from... and to the one grave you were told never to open.
