Our take on The Patient: After Hours
The story places the player on a night shift cleaning a seemingly abandoned shopping mall, while uncertainty about what is real becomes part of the experience.
What is The Patient: After Hours?
Play as a night worker cleaning a shopping mall after its trading day ends.
As the shift continues, events become harder to distinguish from reality, and the story centers on uncovering what is happening and finding a way out. After Hours is an introductory chapter in a larger story set in the same universe. Its presentation uses low-poly graphics, low-resolution textures, per-pixel lighting, vertex snapping, and other visual effects associated with the PlayStation 1 era. Multiple rendering options are available. Progress saves between levels, and an in-game music library can be opened from the menu.
