About the Game

Nightwatch is a short mystery game where you play as Daniel, a security guard. This night shift, you're hired by a new company to surveil its facility, but you're not on your own; you have Jenny, your best friend, and colleague, to guide you through the night with the walkie-talkie. Why does this security company, out in the middle of nowhere, need you? The mystery of the night holds many secrets.

The game is a first-person view game. You will be able to choose between different dialogues depending on what you want to ask or answer your coworker Jenny, and you will run into different types of puzzles. The artwork will make you feel absorbed in the game. It is inspired by Firewatch.
