About This Game

Coiled Silence is a first-person psychological horror game about a job that should have been ordinary.

You play as Joe. Family texts push you into night shifts at Ember Barn, a fast-food restaurant across the block. The leave fund needs about a thousand dollars. The schedule is real. The customers are real. Your phone never stops.

Each night runs like work: clock in, restore power if it fails, cook, package fries and burgers, fill drinks, take orders, and try to get home. Between shifts you live in a small apartment, check messages and email, sleep, and wake up for the next night. Five nights. One week that keeps folding in on itself.

The horror is not in jump scares. It is in silence, repetition, texts that land wrong, deposits that are not payroll, and an Unknown number that knows more about the night than it should. Keep answering. Keep stacking money. Keep walking the same route.

When the week ends, the conclusion asks what any of it really was.
