A downloadable game for Windows

You’re alone on the night shift in a city archive.

Your job is simple:
Scan old newspaper articles. File them correctly. Finish your shift.

But something happened here years ago — and someone made sure it was forgotten.

The deeper you dig, the more the building pushes back.
