About the Game

A short story about you working a closing shift at the restaurant when there is an unexpected occurance with the killer lurking in the town. But while finishing up your shift alone, things don't go as expected.

Expect a first person experience with immersive sound, where you interact with NPC and objects around the resturant in order to close the restaurant.
