About This Demo

Welcome to the ruthless world of nightlife with the Physio demo, an immersive simulation where you play as the gatekeeper, the one who decides who gets to party and who stays on the curb. For this first night under the neon lights, you won't be facing the crowd alone. Kaso, an experienced physionomist, will introduce you to the job.

The Job

Your mission looks simple but is actually quite complex: ensure security, filter the clients, and maintain the club's reputation. You will learn to manage the tense flow of the queue while keeping your cool in the face of provocations and unexpected situations that define the nightlife.

The Power of Words

Your decisions and actions have a direct and sometimes brutal impact on how the night unfolds. If your refusal seems illogical to the client, expect a simple discussion to spiral into a hard-to-manage brawl.

Your gender, ethnicity, and build will be taken into account by those you interact with. Watch what you say, as some rejections might come across as hypocritical coming from you.

Search and Frisk

Inspect IDs: Manipulate cards to detect subtle forgeries and check details to block minors or liars.

Frisk pockets: Uncover items banned by the club, confiscate them, and reject those who refuse to comply with orders.

Analyze clothing: Check if the nightclub's dress code is respected.

Monitor condition: Deny entry to people who are too drunk, on drugs, or have poor hygiene.

The Fights

Sometimes diplomacy won't be enough to resolve an issue, and you will have to use force to break the deadlock. The game will shift into action mode, and you must put your combat techniques into practice to subdue troublemakers.

Your primary goal: maintain order at the club entrance so the party can go on.

The Paycheck

Your salary is your lifeline in a society in crisis where inflation affects everyone. Work with precision to maximize your earnings, because at the end of the month, bills don't wait and they must be paid.

Use your savings to buy better equipment. This is a vital investment because night after night, events become more problematic, clients more aggressive, and threats more dangerous.
