Skip it if you…

Our take on Gym Nights
The store presentation emphasizes nightmares, immersion, and a hidden mystery, while the described play loop centers on CCTV monitoring, office protection, and exploration after each shift. The day-to-day watchman routine is less prominent in the premise-focused framing.
What is Gym Nights?
Gym Nights is a psychological horror game set in an abandoned wrestling gymnasium.
The player becomes a night watchman and must survive seven nights while uncovering the location’s secrets. Each shift takes place partly in an office, where a CCTV system is used to monitor activity throughout the gym. The player analyzes behavior, watches the rooms, and uses available means to protect the office from unwanted visitors until the shift ends at 7 AM. After a shift, the gym can be explored. The environment changes across the nights, with new gameplay mechanics introduced gradually. The narrative uses visual surroundings and metaphorical gameplay to present memories and events connected to the protagonist’s subconscious. The story complements the main storyline of Watchman.
