About the Game

It's your first day at a new job. Everyone else apparently quit and the place seems quite haunted, but it doesn't matter. You've got bills to pay. Pack boxes, drive a forklift, avoid ghosts, and do your best to stay alive. There's even a promise of a pizza party. Not so bad for your first day.

Do as you are told and finish your job to get that paycheck you so desperately need.



Or wander off the main floor and piece together what happened in the warehouse.



Just be careful as you wander, things seem harmless at first but can quickly become dangerous.



Will you be a good little worker and follow orders?



Or will you explore where you shouldn't and try to figure out what's going on?



With over a dozen endings to find (and many, many more planned), the choice is yours. Just watch your back, okay?

New Hire blends simulation and tense horror as you try to finish your overnight shift in a factory. Terrors lurk in the darkness and you have to keep your wits about you as you pack and deliver packages to get that sweet, sweet paycheck. Staying on the path laid out before you and doing your job will keep the dangers to a minimum while exploring the warehouse will help you figure out exactly what happened to your co-workers, but draws unwanted attention to yourself.
