About this game
A Job You Can't Refuse
Joe was desperate. After countless rejections, he finally got a job offer a janitor at an old school. No interview. No questions. Just a Sunday start time and an address.
He arrived at 5 PM. The doors locked behind him. He woke up in a shed at midnight with a phone call explaining the rules. Complete your tasks. Survive until 5 AM. Return to the shed. Do this for 5 nights.
What waits in the darkness doesn't care about your resume.
