Absolved

Would you go through Hell if it meant freedom?  Faced with the choice of serving the rest of a life sentence or playing nightguard for a week. You thought the choice was an easy one to make. You couldn't be more wrong.

About the Game

Single player horror where you must wait out the night while supernatural entities make their way ever closer.

A chance at freedom

Jumping at the opportunity to be a free man, "no strings attached". You take up an offer that the warden gave to all lifers. Seven nights in some dilapidated storehouse? sounded easy enough. Now you sit in a barely lit room waiting for further instruction.

Too late to turn back now

Alone & shackled to a chair. You're armed with a flash bulb from an old camera, a thee-position switch for some shutter doors, & a CCTV feed. The objective is simple...

Survive until morning and KEEP THEM OUT.
