About the Game

ِA short psychological horror experience focused on atmosphere and tension. The game relies on environmental changes, sound design, and unexpected moments.


You are a writer, alone in your office late at night, trying to overcome a stubborn creative block. With nothing but your typewriter and your thoughts, you begin working on a new story.

As the writing progresses, small inconsistencies start to appear. Words form that you do not remember typing. The room begins to change in subtle ways. Sounds echo where there should be silence. What starts as a normal night of writing slowly turns into something else.

The story you are working on begins to reflect your own situation. The more you write, the more reality seems to shift. It becomes unclear whether you are creating the story or becoming part of it.

Set in a mid-70s inspired vintage office, the environment is grounded and familiar, filled with period details that slowly distort as the night goes on. The space evolves alongside the story, with subtle AND sudden changes.

revolves around interacting with your surroundings and progressing through writing. You will move around the office, examine objects, and return to the typewriter to continue the narrative. What you write directly influences what happens next, tying progression to both exploration and input.
