Product Description
You are a father who has taken on a night shift job simply to make ends meet.
Working at an old gas station and convenience store should have been nothing more than standing behind the counter and stocking the shelves.
But under the flickering lights, small disturbances begin to creep in—shadows that shouldn’t move, objects that fall on their own.
Soon, these strange events seep into your home, haunting you even there. With each passing night,
the world grows more unfamiliar, the air heavier with unease. Nowhere feels safe anymore.
This fear will not vanish just because you choose to ignore it.
Even as you serve customers and reset the circuit breakers at the store,
something unseen lurks within the darkness, its gaze fixed upon you.
And when you return home, it follows.
The television flickers on by itself, dishes crash in the kitchen, footsteps echo from the second floor—until you can no longer trust what is real.
You are left to confront a collapsing reality, and the terrifying suspicion that it is your own mind unraveling.
