About the Game

This game is best experienced with a webcam

Gameplay:

Vigil is a short Narrative Horror Game set deep underground in the decaying halls of Vigil Incorporated. To create a truly unique horror experience, the game detects when you blink by using your webcam.

You play as an employee and your job here is simple. You must dispose of boxes. It may not be as easy as you think since you aren't alone in this facility...

A terrifying and dangerous automaton roams Vigil Inc.'s derelict halls. If you encounter it, DON'T BLINK AND DON'T LOOK AWAY. This automaton can only move when you aren't looking.

Vigil Inc. holds many secrets and you might uncover a few during your shift. Remember to stay Vigil.

Features:

  • Real-life blinking detection via webcam
  • Alternative keyboard-based blinking mechanic for non-webcam players
  • A terrifying, Weeping Angel-inspired enemy that responds to your actual blinks
  • A short but intense narrative-driven horror experience
  • Basketball!
