Game description:
Project Nightcall begins with a call that takes you back to a workplace no longer fully yours. You walk through a town that feels like it’s been paused mid-function—lights on in the windows, but no motion inside. Metal fences and locked doors mark the path ahead, and there’s little to suggest who or what has been through here before you. The streetlights glow too evenly, and the sky never fully settles into night. As you move between corners and corridors, it becomes clear that the environment is reacting to your presence without showing signs of life.
Inside the Threshold
Progress leads to tighter spaces: a building with metal siding, a red-lit entrance, a train car with windows revealing distant lights. These aren’t places you’re meant to stay in, only pass through. Short moments of combat interrupt the silence, but they feel more like warnings than challenges. The surroundings aren’t hostile in a direct sense—they're indifferent in a way that becomes more unnerving. Objects suggest purpose, but rarely function. Notes are absent. Instructions are missing. What you’re dealing with isn’t explained, and yet the pressure builds as if something expects you to continue without hesitation.
Focused Design, Unstable Ground
Developed for players looking for a compact horror experience, Project Nightcall delivers around ten minutes of focused gameplay. It includes custom-made assets, sound design meant to amplify absence, and simple mechanics that don’t distract from the atmosphere. The game doesn’t ask players to understand what’s happening. Instead, it allows discomfort to grow naturally as the setting changes. Mild violence appears briefly, but it is the stillness between sounds and the gaps in logic that define the experience. The structure is clear, but what it means is left open.
