About this game
You are resting peacefully in your comfy bed, under your warm duvet, dreaming about being a successful rock star (or something. I don't know).
The air around you becomes chilly, and you wake up. Your eyes adjust to the inky blackness and you see the thing that possibly woke you up—a dark entity in the corner of your room.
The entity's wide, bulging eyes are glued to your form. Despite its frightening appearance, it appears to stay still and doesn't seem to have harmful intentions.
Until it shows you its row of teeth in a Cheshire-like grin. Its claws jut out of its fingers, as big as kitchen knives. It starts approaching you.
You need to get out of there. FAST.
Survival horror-comedy visual novel. Your decisions determine your fate.
Two different chapters (Elevator Game chapter is still work-in-progress).
9 different endings for Midnight Mayhem chapter, including a bonus scene if you obtain all endings.
Atmospheric sound design and sound effects.
Heart-pounding original soundtrack by Lady Belles-lettres.
Original songs by Lady Belles-lettres featuring Synthesizer V vocal synths.
Cute and creepy art by Lady Belles-lettres.
A tall, monstrous entity who is low-key obsessed with you :D
WARNING!!

Sarah - Our main and playable character! She was having a lovely night sleep in her bedroom until something woke her up in the middle of night.
Shrouded in darkness, Sarah stares at the thing in the corner of her room. Is that a person?
It has sharp teeth and claws... A... m-monster...?
Can Sarah survive the night and see daylight?
Katie - Sarah's younger sister. Probably spends too much time on Tumblr.
She loves horror and creepypastas and playing those darn Internet rituals and games. Could she have something to do with the creature in Sarah's room?
The Midnight Man - The 8 foot tall entity in Sarah's bedroom with sharp fangs and talons.
What are its intentions? Who knows? All Sarah knows is that she HAS to get out of that room.

Update to the UI and Art (and More!)
Hi, everyone!I am glad to say that I've been making a lot of progress on the game! As the story and writing have been completed, work has been heavily focused on the art, music, sound design, GUI and coding. Recently, I have updated the screenshots on the Steam store to include the UI.I have also done some minor tweaks on older art to make the characters stand out more (especially since the setting mostly takes place in a dark bedroom). Comparison can be seen as below:OldNewWhat about the music?Soundtrack for the demo had already been composed. Now, work is being done on the mixing and mastering, as well as art for the cutscenes. I will continue to give more updates as work progresses. In the meantime, you can also follow the development of this game on various social media sites like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky and Tumblr.
