Revisit past crime scenes, piece the clues together, discover who’s leaving you mysterious messages, and document everything on your typewriter.

But beware… something is stalking you. Will you be able to uncover what’s been hiding in the night and keep your heart rate in check?

Search for answers

Run

Get away from the creature that is stalking you; hide and reach safety before it’s too late.

Track your vital signs

Keep an eye on your wristwatch: your heart rate spikes at the slightest scare, and your heart could fail at any moment.

Head home and start taking notes

When the night is over, head back to your office and type up your findings. Organize your notes, read between the lines, and search for the truth.

Remember: Something is hiding in the dark. Face your past and uncover the mystery unfolding before you.
