About This Demo

A Meeting of Gas Station, Convenience Store, and Horror

Progress through the game by performing ordinary night-shift tasks yourself.
What begins as simple, familiar routine gradually twists into anxiety and terror as time passes.

  • Throw away expired products

  • Stock new items on the shelves

  • Mop the floor

  • Run the register

  • Refuel customers’ vehicles

  • Clean the restroom

A Three-Day Record of Commuting Between Home and Work

Start the day, satisfy your hunger, do the chores, head to work, come home, and fall asleep.
Within this endless cycle, the cracks in reality slowly begin to show.

  • Eat meals

  • Do the laundry

  • Take a shower

  • Tidy up the house

  • Endure the nightmares that come every night

A Reality That Slowly Falls Apart

It starts with small, barely noticeable feelings of unease.
But as time goes on, the spaces around you become grotesquely distorted, and hallucinations and fear begin to close in on the player.

  • A mysterious presence watching from beyond the window

  • Strange figures slipping between the shelves

  • A store stained in blood

  • Sudden chase sequences

  • Horror events occurring throughout the house

  • A psychological collapse where nightmares and reality become one

Gather Clues and Uncover the Truth

Clues hinting at the truth behind the incident are hidden throughout the protagonist’s home and workplace.
The more traces you uncover—photographs, diaries, documents, pill bottles—the more the story you believed in begins to unravel.

Three Multiple Endings

The ending changes depending on your choices and the clues you collect.

What you accept, what you deny,
and ultimately what you choose in the end—
that is up to you.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During development, we used AI-assisted tools in a limited way to explore/promote content: (1) some store capsule artwork, (2) certain in-game icons, and (3) draft variations of dialogue and story beats. All final assets were human-reviewed and edited for originality, style consistency, and IP compliance. The game does not use live generative AI at runtime or connect to AI services during play.
