About the Game

YOU’RE JUST HERE TO REPLACE THE LIGHTS.

THE HOUSE WAS NEVER DARK BY ACCIDENT.

You play as an electrician hired for a simple job:
replace the lights in homes and offices.

No weapons.
No way to fight back.
Just your work… and something that moves when the lights go out.

FOUR DAYS. FOUR LOCATIONS. FOUR INTERTWINED STORIES.

The game unfolds across Day 1 to Day 4.
Each day features:

  • a different location

  • a unique story

  • secrets that were never meant to be uncovered

Every shift has 2–3 different endings, shaped by your actions, your route, and the small decisions you make when you think you’re safe.

The story is linear.
The truth is not.

DO YOUR JOB. DON’T GET CAUGHT.

While you replace the lights, something in each location begins hunting you.
You can’t fight it.
You can only work, hide, and survive.

Get caught once, and it’s over.

REPLAY THE SHIFTS. FIND EVERY ENDING.

After completing the main story, you unlock the Day Selector:

  • return to any day

  • uncover alternate endings

  • piece together story fragments you missed before

Not every ending wants to be found.
But all of them matter.

FEATURES

  • Simple core gameplay: replace the lights

  • Semi-realistic visuals with oppressive atmosphere

  • Disturbing, tension-driven sound design

  • Multiple dark and twisted endings

  • Ending progress tracking

  • A different story every shift

REMEMBER

You’re not here to save anyone.
You’re here to do a job.

And now,
something in the dark knows you’re here.
