Night Round

It follows the light.

03:00. The power is out. You are Joaquim, the night guard, and tonight is your last round before retirement. Restore the fuses on every floor of the old school — and in the basement below it — and make it to dawn.

You are not alone. Something tall, wearing a blue guard's coat, walks the halls. It sees your flashlight from far away. It hears you run. And the notes you find are written in your own handwriting — telling you things you don't remember.

🆕 Version 2.0 — "The Long Round" update

• 🏚 New floor: the Basement — boiler room maze and a scripted chase to the exit.
• 🗺 Joaquim's hand-drawn map (hold Tab / M) — it only shows what you remember… and on the second floor, your memory lies.
• ⏱ The round — punch the 3 time clocks on each floor before restoring power, or the building notices you forgot.
• 🔑 Locked doors — keys, and a keypad whose code is hidden in the notes.
• 💍 Memories — a ring, a photo, a badge, a letter. Use one (Q) to make the Visitor lose your trail. Wait too long and you forget what you were holding.
• 👁 The Visitor evolves — it cuts the power on floor 2, copies your footsteps on floor 3, turns its head when it sees you, and sometimes stands at the end of the hall… until you look.
• 🚪 3 endings — including one you can find on the very first floor.
• ☠ Nightmare Mode — unlocked after any ending: a random building every time, a faster Visitor, a timer and your best time.
• Checkpoint after the fuse box, positional breathing and footsteps, scarier jump scare.
• 🩸 Horror Collection: Sep 29 – Oct 6, all 7 of my horror games 50% off, or all together for US$3.50 — see the bundle.

How it plays

• 🔦 Your flashlight is everything — you can't see without it, but the Visitor can see you with it.
• 🚪 Hide in lockers — but if it sees you go in, it will open the door.
• 👣 Listen — its footsteps and breathing are positional. Play with headphones.
• 📝 9 notes — read all of them to learn who the Visitor is.
