Our take on Night at the Office
The focused, short format limits the room for extended investigation, sustained progression, or elaborate gameplay systems. Its checkpoint and three endings add some variation, but the experience remains centered on a brief sequence of office exploration, horror events, and puzzles.
What is Night at the Office?
Work late at the Emerging Group LP office after Joseph Anadam is found dead near the elevators.
As strange events and headaches develop, exploration and observation reveal connections surrounding his death. This walking simulator combines a murder mystery with horror scenes, suspense, and puzzles of varying difficulty. A checkpoint midway through the estimated 1-hour experience supports resuming the investigation and reaching different conclusions. The game includes three endings, with each one adding a different story element, plus one Easter egg and multiple achievements. The central question is who killed Joseph and why the player is being forced to uncover what happened.
