About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

It's a first-person horror game where you survive for a few minutes by continuously illuminating the backrooms. You have free access to convenient ghost hunting equipment such as ghost-specific bear traps and sensors. Notes detailing how to deal with each ghost will be helpful.

Overview

You work part-time at a large company, where your duties in the backrooms span just five days. From midnight to 6 a.m., you face an unusual challenge: being hounded by ghosts, if only for a few minutes.

Clear strategy

There are multiple evil spirits roaming the backroom with different ways to deal with them. The ghosts that appear and how to deal with them will be announced in advance, so you can show off your skills to the fullest without hesitation.
With each passing day, a new species of crazy ghost is introduced, slowly tormenting you.

Two types of lights

Ghosts are only visible when they attack humans under lights, so always make sure your surroundings are well-lit.
The backroom has ceiling lights and a flashlight. Ceiling lights are randomly turned off by the paranormal activity and flashlights have a survival period.
Take advantage of the two types of lights and survive the five days of crazy business.
