About the Game

A Night Shift You'll Never Forget

The library closed hours ago.

The lights still flicker.
The phones still ring.
Someone is still returning books.

Welcome to After Hours: Library, a first-person psychological horror experience where ordinary night shift responsibilities become a desperate fight for survival.

Work alone through a haunted library from 12:00 AM until 6:00 AM, completing authentic librarian duties including shelving books, cataloging new arrivals, processing returns, organizing archives, and responding to unexpected incidents but every completed task pushes the night forward...

Something is stalking the aisles.

A mysterious book-headed entity learns your behavior, reacts to sound, patrols the library, and forces you to constantly choose between finishing your work or hiding for your life.

As the hours pass, uncover disturbing journals, hidden rooms, forgotten tunnels beneath the library, and the truth behind the disappearances of previous employees.

The library has secrets.

Morning isn't guaranteed.
