You sit alone in a dim office, nervously switching between grainy security cameras, desperately conserving power while waiting for something to lunge from the dark.

What players say
Players praise its unique tension and atmosphere, calling it a generation-defining indie horror that made jump scares iconic. Some find the gameplay repetitive once you learn the rhythm, and several note that later games like Help Wanted offer more variety. A few mention specific difficulty spikes, particularly on night 5.
