A narrative horror game about the daily job of a rookie in a warehouse for paranormal or dangerous items. Made in one week for the Scream Jam 2023.

> ON HOLD

To anyone reading this: This game was originally made for a game jam and is now on hold. I'm currently working on other projects. Once I have enough time, I'll update this game to include full work week. Stay tuned!



> KEEP IT CALM

Work as a night guard, and uncover a story that unfolds gently over days and weeks. Just make sure to leave your work space in a good condition when you go home.

> HOW TO PLAY

This game plays as any other first person game. The rest is pretty self explanatory.

This game should be played with headphones for the best experience.
The expected playtime is about 5-10min.

You definitely have a good foundation. There's plenty of ways you could take this. Personally, I think it would be interesting if you had to occasionally leave the control room to fix something. Like the power goes out and you have to go fix the breaker box, or maybe when a certain 'entity' becomes active you have to run to and lock yourself in a panic room until it settles down, etc.

Could also introduce new 'entities', along with new mechanics to keep them contained as the days go by. 

I do have one problem though: aside from the button to switch rooms, it's not very clear what the other buttons on the control panel do, and this isn't really clarified in the tutorial.

Yeah, I hear you. As this game was originally made for a week long jam, I had to cut cornes. I didn't expect anyone to play this game any more, so I moved to other projects. But since you came here and anyone playing in the future should have a 'good' experience, I'm going to clean everything up, and update this game once I have enough time.

Do I have to tell you that I'm crying right now because of panic attack ? 

No seriously I think it's a good game but yeah I didn't managed to understand anything ^^'

Sorry to hear that. Hope you're doing alright.
Yould you extrapolate on not understanding anything? Would love to get some constructive feedback.
