On your first night as a newly hired nurse at Golden Years Nursing Home, nothing feels quite right. The halls are too quiet. The lights hum with an uneven buzz. The few remaining residents seem confused, frightened, or unwilling to speak about what happened during the facility’s final weeks before its sudden closure in 1997.
Your job is simple on paper: complete your rounds, check on patients, log incidents, and keep the night calm. But as the hours pass, the building begins to show its age and its memories. Doors shift when you’re not looking. Call lights flicker from empty rooms. Staff records don’t match the residents you meet. And something in the dark seems to be moving with purpose.
Golden Years is a slow‑burn psychological horror experience focused on atmosphere, tension, and environmental storytelling. There is no combat. Your tools are your flashlight, your clipboard, and your willingness to keep going when every instinct tells you to leave.
