About the game
You are Avery. You are 27 years old. You have schizophrenia and you have not taken your medication in three days because the bottle is empty and the pharmacy is closed until Monday. It is Saturday. It is 11:43pm.
There is a man in the corner of your bedroom. You think there is. You’re not sure. The goal of the game is simple: survive until morning.
Sleep is the only way out
To win, you have to sleep. To sleep, you have to lie down, close your eyes, and let the room get quiet. The room does not want to get quiet. Floorboards settle. The fridge clicks on. Someone is breathing, or maybe that’s you. The figure in the corner does not move, unless you look away, in which case you can’t be sure what it did. Oh and the closet, the damn closet.
You can get out of bed. You can check the corner. You can turn on every light in the apartment. You can take a Tylenol and pretend it’s the real prescription. You can enter the space behind your closet where noises are coming from. None of these things end the night. Only morning ends the night.
Content notes
Psychosis, sleep disturbance, intrusive sounds, chases. There are no depictions of self-harm. The figure in the corner will not always be standing in the corner. Avery is okay in the morning.
