🎥 Special Thanks to Markiplier
Markiplier recently supported the game with a $220 donation.
If you enjoyed the game and want to help make Chapter 3 happen faster, consider supporting it too.
Every bit genuinely helps.
A simple favor. A normal night shift. Something feels wrong.
You agreed to cover your friend’s night shift while he goes out to take care of something.
🧩 Something feels... off
- Some players reported hearing footsteps behind them
- Others said the cameras show things that aren't there
- One player claimed Simon moves when you're not looking
I don’t know if that’s true.
But I wouldn’t trust the cameras.
Sitting alone, watching the cameras, everything seems normal... until you start realizing that the real danger isn’t around you, but out there, with him.
Piece by piece, the truth unfolds through what you see, leading to a chain of events that spirals into something brutal and unexpected...

🧠 How this game got attention (for devs)
This game wasn’t made to be “perfect.”
It was made to be noticed.
It was built fast with a very specific goal: create something streamable, clickable, and easy to share.
If you’re a developer and you’re tired of your games going unseen, this is exactly the problem I solved here.
