10 itemsAbout the Game
Is Guilty is a psychological horror job simulator where you work the night shift at a lonely drive-thru coffee stand. But you aren't just serving coffee.
You have been blackmailed into finding a criminal. Someone in this city committed a crime, and they are coming through your drive-thru tonight.
Using your government-issued database, a police scanner, and your own intuition, you must investigate every customer while maintaining your cover as a barista. But be careful identifying the wrong suspect has consequences, and something else is watching you from the darkness.
THE NIGHT SHIFT
Serve donuts, pour coffee, and count change. Keep the customers happy so they lower their guard. Listen to their stories, check their license plates, and cross-reference their identities on your terminal.
THE INVESTIGATION
Every night, you receive a case file with clues about a suspect. The Watcher wants a name by 4 AM.
Scan License Plates: Are they driving updated vehicles? Were they near the crime scene?
Check Backgrounds: Do they have a criminal record? Are they lying about their job?
Observe Behavior: Is that nervousness, or just caffeine withdrawal? why is there blood on that steering wheel?
THE PARANOIA
You are confined to your booth. Outside, the darkness is closing in. Weird figures appear in the distance. The power flickers. Are you the hunter, or the prey?
KEY FEATURES
Immersive Simulation: Use a realistic coffee machine, cash register, and computer terminal.
Escalating Cases: Each night brings a new crime and a new suspect. Stay sharp, the cases only get harder.
Multiple Endings: Your choices matter. Will you turn in the guilty, help them escape, or get caught yourself?
Atmospheric Horror: A tense, claustrophobic experience where the horror comes from what you don't see.
The coffee is hot. The night is long. And one of them... Is Guilty.
