About the Game

Desperate, you took the job. No interview. No questions. Just midnight shifts at a grocery store, alone. Stock the shelves. Sweep the floors. Collect your pay. But you soon realize you aren’t alone, and you were hired for a darker purpose.

Clock in and get to work. Stock the shelves, mop the floors, clean up the store. Tasks feel routine at first but with every shift, the list grows stranger and more demanding. Do your job. Do not wander. DO NOT STOP.

The store should be empty. But the longer you work, the more the aisles feel alive: breathing, watching, waiting. Hallucinations, whispers, and shadowy figures blur the line between reality and madness.

Investigate the store's sinister past: search lockers, breakrooms, and offices for notes, files, and voicemails left by employees who came before you. Uncover something ancient, dark, and sinister, tightening its grip from the shadows. Discover the truth. But it doesn’t set you free, it decides your fate.
