You're playing a platformer on an old CRT TV. At first, it's just a game. Then what happens on-screen no longer stays on-screen. You can't get up. You can't leave the room. All you can do is keep playing.

About the Game

NEXT PLAYER is a first-person psychological horror game set entirely in a single room, with a playtime of approximately 30 minutes.

PLAY.

You're sitting in front of a CRT TV. There's a platformer on the screen. You're focused on the next jump. The next obstacle.

For now.

LISTEN.

Eyes on the screen. Ears tuned to the room.

Did that sound just come from the game?

Or from behind you?

KEEP GOING.

As you play, what happens on-screen no longer stays on-screen. You can turn your head. But you can't get up. You can't leave the room.

All you can do is keep playing.

Don't just watch the screen. It might be watching you too.

WARNING!

This game contains flashing lights, loud noises, and visual distortions. These effects may affect players with photosensitive epilepsy.
