About This Demo

The library closed hours ago. Your shift doesn't end until 6:00 AM.

What should have been another quiet night quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival.

Step into the role of a newly hired night librarian at Blithewell Library, a once-prestigious estate built by a wealthy collector whose obsession left something terrible behind. Complete your overnight duties, uncover the library's forgotten history, and survive until morning while an unseen presence stalks the aisles.

Every task completed pushes the night forward.

Every passing hour makes the library more dangerous.

The only question is...

Will you finish your shift or become part of its collection?
