A first-person, realistic horror game that places you in the role of a newly hired security guard at a Malaysian school with a sinister reputation. As night falls, your patrols quickly take a terrifying turn when you encounter restless spirits and supernatural phenomena drawn from the depths of Malaysian folklore. The eerie silence of the school’s corridors and the unsettling shadows lurking in corners hint at a history that refuses to stay buried.
With every step, you’ll navigate detailed, immersive environments—from creaky, dimly lit classrooms to abandoned courtyards and forgotten shrines. Uncover clues, interact with tormented spirits, and piece together the tragic events that have bound these entities to the school grounds. Your choices determine how you confront the supernatural: will you use traditional exorcism rituals to bring peace, or will your decisions deepen the horrors you face?
Experience a rich narrative-driven adventure where every decision matters. The deeper you delve into the school's mysteries, the more you discover the hidden truths behind each haunting. Will you survive the night and uncover the real story behind the school's old caretaker, or will you become another lost soul in its haunted halls?
