Game description:
Night Knocks is a short atmospheric horror game that places you in a seemingly normal apartment where silence hides something sinister. After moving in, everything appears calm—until the night brings repeated knocking sounds that you can’t explain. With each knock, the environment feels less secure. Small interactions, like preparing food or speaking to a neighbor, begin to feel strange. The apartment doesn’t change dramatically, but the tension creeps in through subtle cues that suggest something is watching, listening, or waiting.
Choices That Shape the Ending
The game’s strength lies in how it lets the player decide what to do. Do you ignore the knocking or investigate? Do you engage with the objects around you, or rush through the space trying to escape the unease? Depending on your actions, Night Knocks offers three different endings—only one of which brings resolution. The other two suggest that something went wrong, and you didn’t do enough to stop it. These outcomes push the player to pay close attention, making small choices feel meaningful within the short runtime.
Focused Gameplay in a Familiar Space
Built around simplicity, Night Knocks uses basic controls (WASD for movement, E for interaction) to keep your attention on the environment. There are no jump scares or enemy chases—only silence, subtle audio cues, and the growing fear of what the next night will bring. It’s a game that works because it doesn’t try to overwhelm. Instead, it lingers in the background of the everyday, asking the player: what if the knocking doesn’t stop, and what if something knocks back?
