10 itemsAbout the Game
Welcome to your new role as a Night Security Guard. What begins as a mundane shift of facility maintenance quickly unravels into a psychological fight for sanity. Set in a sprawling, desolate commercial complex, this atmospheric experience blends tactile job simulation with creeping, unpredictable horror.
Clock in, manage the facility, uncover the terrifying truth behind the building's history, and try to keep sanity until morning.
CLOCK IN. DO YOUR JOB.
You are here to work. Every night, you must punch your time card and complete a checklist of immersive, maintenance tasks. Turn rusted, heavy valves to manage the boiler pressure, manually reset the tripped breakers of the Fire Alarm system, haul heavy trash bags to the pitch-black dumpsters. The tactile interactions require your full attention.
SURVIVE THE NIGHT SHIFT
Your new workplace is not what it seems. As the hours tick by in the dead of night, the quiet halls become hostile. Navigate total blackouts guided only by the sound of emergency alarms, outrun sudden pursuits in the dark, and survive terrifying anomalies as the environment shifts around you. The job will test your paranoia—are you losing your mind, or is something there?
UNCOVER THE TRUTH You aren't the first guard to work this shift. Your predecessor left behind a trail of -Redacted- before his sudden disappearance. Gather hidden evidence and lost items during your shifts. The choices you make and the deductions you piece together will directly determine if you -Redacted- with your -Redacted-.
KEY FEATURES:
Tactile Job Simulation:
Perform routine, heavy-interaction maintenance tasks. Feel the resistance of old valves, the satisfying clack of breaker switches, and the dread of being alone in the dark.
Environmental Puzzles:
The mall is falling apart. You'll need to locate specific tools—like a wrench to unbolt rusted shutters—and manage complex electrical systems.
CCTV Surveillance
You can't be everywhere at once. Utilize a functioning Security Camera System to scout ahead. Watch the monitors in the security room to track changes in the environment.
Psychological Horror:
Experience a creeping, environmental terror. The world around you distorts with visual anomalies, shifting mannequins, and aggressive, unpredictable scares.
The Unseen Threat
Paranoia is your enemy. The entities in this mall follow their own rules. Experience dynamic scares where mannequins change positions when your back is turned or when you look away.
