A downloadable game for Windows
I made this in 4 days… it hit Top 3!
❤️ Thank you for all the support!
This game hitting Top 3 happened because of you.
Most people just play and leave… but some of you choose to support — and that’s what actually makes the next chapter possible.
If you want Chapter 2 to happen faster:
even $1 makes a real difference.
Every bit goes into:
- making Chapter 2 bigger and more intense
- improving the game based on your feedback
- creating more short horror experiences like this
Most people won’t support.
A few will.
Those are the people building what comes next.
Chapter 2 is coming… and it’s going to be worse.
You agreed to cover your friend’s night shift while he goes out to take care of something.
🧩 Something feels… off
- Some players reported hearing footsteps behind them
- Others said the cameras show things that aren't there
- One player claimed Simon moves when you're not looking
I don’t know if that’s true.
But I wouldn’t trust the cameras.
Sitting alone, watching the cameras, everything seems normal, until you start realizing that the real danger isn’t around you… but out there, with him.
Piece by piece, the truth unfolds through what you see, leading to a chain of events that spirals into a brutal and unexpected ..

An ok game, but I kept dying and thought that was the end of the game, but then I saw another people dodging somehow Simon (he is a bit too fast in my opinion).
this game was SO INTENSE and SUPER CREEPY AND SCARY can't wait to play chapter 2 soon! 10/10 ABSOLUTE CINEMA
simon is sooo creepy!! excited to see chapter 2 ! thanks so much redcap-games :))
This was pretty fun, can't wait for chapter 2!
A super fun game. I'll leave my playgame here, thanks. :)
Dude went from normal to Demonic.
One of the greatest games I played so far!
I loved it and I am definitly going to play chapter 2 the wee kit comes out andmake a video about it.BUT i think the dialogues are a bit to long for people like me that translate them into their language, in my case german. It would be great if there would be more support for other languages! It would be fun if there were more little minigames or so.
The rest was perfect: U had to think about how to escape the killer and I even thougt it was impossible, but it wasnt. THe game ist perfectly balanced between tension and gameplay difficulty.
Its in polish but i hope you would have fun
NICE GAME! Gostei das animações, da ambientação e da história! Só tive um pouco de dificuldade de fugir dele hahaha, mas consegui! Keep up the good work!
💝
Heck yah man, this game was pretty good. Can't wait to see what Chapter 2 brings!
Game has a nice atmosphere to it and nice hints leading up to the surprise. Nice job on that. Keep it up.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/@Levont
pretty cool short game, still enjoyable 6/10
Great game, had a lot of fun with it, and can't wait to play more. The only thing I would say for feedback is that I had trouble getting away from the guy on the first chase, like, he was way faster than me. The second chase was better.
Great game! Really creepy vibes for sure; I don't usually get scared by chasings in horror games but there's something about this that made it more immersive, same feeling I got from your other game "The Hop Hop".
Can't wait for Chapter 2! Keep it up! 👍
I'm always there for a friend
VERY SCARY CHASE GOT ME A COUPLE TOO MANY TIMES LMAO AND GREAT LAUGHING FROM HIM VERY SCARY LMAO HIS LAUGH CREEPED ME OUIT
Really had a good time with this
This wasn't bad! Definitely interested in playing the next chapter game! I quite liked how simple it was & realistic, if Simon rung me at 2AM, I am going back to sleep hahaha. I did wish maybe there could've been a choice somewhere, but I had fun!
Here is my video! Enjoy!
Hi! I'd love to translate your game into Russian! I can do it for free to add to my portfolio. If you're interested, feel free to reach out on Discord. Hope to hear from you!
