NIGHTBELL
Nightbell is a first-person Christmas Eve horror told through the eyes of a boy who stayed home with his mother. After a bedtime story about a witch with a bell, he wakes up to that same familiar chime, discovers his mother is missing, and comes face to face with a creature eerily similar to her.

10 itemsAbout the Game
Nightbell is an atmospheric horror game about a Christmas Eve when a cozy home stops being a safe place.
On the eve of the holiday, a young boy stays home with his mother: a decorated tree, a festive table, the anticipation of a miracle. But at night, the house changes, sounds and shadows become unfamiliar, and the boy has only one thing left to do — figure out what is really happening and why everything around feels wrong.
The player will wander through the transformed house, follow the chime of a bell, hide from an unknown threat, and try to piece together scattered clues.
By morning, everything looks like a simple dream of a frightened child… but some details stubbornly refuse to fit into a harmless bedtime story.
