Our take on Nightly Maintenance
The description emphasizes randomized nightly objectives, but the examples are a compact set of maintenance and odd-job tasks. The factory backstory is mentioned as a gradual reveal, while the main detail centers on searching, puzzles, and avoiding the mannequin.
What is Nightly Maintenance?
Play as Malcom, a maintenance worker completing three randomly assigned tasks each night in an abandoned factory.
Tasks can include checking light switches, gathering pallets, or ordering a pizza. Completing them involves finding hidden objects, solving puzzles, and navigating the dark factory while avoiding an oversized mannequin that watches Malcom. The game is a single-player psychological horror experience, with the factory’s backstory revealed as the nights progress. Randomized tasks vary the objectives from one round to another.
