You wake up in the middle of the night. It's late, it's dark, and you can't fall back asleep now that you remembered you forgot to do some things before bed. But something is waiting for you in the dark. Are they real, or simply hallucinations? Try to survive the night so you can go back to bed peacefully.
This game was a product of a 48 hour game jam with the theme "chills down your spine". I worked on a team of 8 as a gameplay programmer and composer, designing the background music for the gameplay segment of the game.
This was my first time working on a horror game, and with the swift, quality work of my team, I can confidently say we did a fantastic job creating a tense, anxiety-inducing experience.
