About the Game

You just got done working a late shift. You then go to the exit to go to your car. But when you open the door, you are right back to the same office you just left in. On top of that, you don't feel so alone in this office anymore.

The objective of the game is to explore the office and find a key to leave the office room that you are in. But you have to be careful, the monster is always nearby. The office will change very subtly every time you go through it again. Find the key and break this strange loop that you are in!

The Ritual is going to start. Are you going to join?
