A night shift behind surveillance cameras. Your job: watch the rooms, remember how they looked, and file a report the moment something is off. A chair has moved. A carpet is gone. Someone is standing in the kitchen who should not be there. Spot every anomaly before 6 AM, or the night ends badly.

At Home Alone
A little girl spends her days alone while her mother works: wandering the house, playing in the yard, meeting the kids next door. It looks cute and it is, at first. Beneath the pixel-art sweetness sits a short psychological horror story that changes a little every week, and the less you trust it, the better.
