one late night

One Late Night is a short immersive horror-game experience, released for free for Linux, Mac and WIndows, the basic idea of this game is to put the gamer in a situation similar to something that it could have been in, and also the scenario is just an office, with standard things (and an android figurine), the idea is that the players will relate themselves to the game setting and scenario and become immersed. Even if you can’t relate to the game storyline, you will still get a good experience.

The main (and the only alive) character is an unnamed graphic designer employee, working late one night at the office, until strange things start to happen.
Soon you’ll see strange message on your computer screen and you’ll start to see scaring thing in your office.
