ARCHEIO: Night Shift

EVERY CASE HAS A REPORT. NOT EVERY REPORT HAS AN ANSWER.

ARCHEIO is a first-person psychological horror anthology inspired by real reports. You begin each case as an investigator reviewing a cold case: statements, evidence, records, and the details left behind.

Then you live it.

Step into the events described in the case file and experience the incident from the perspective of the person who was there. Explore. Listen. Interact. Pay attention.

Because when it's over, you return to the case. And this time, you have to decide what belongs in the official record.

CASE #001: NIGHT SHIFT

A 29-year-old delivery rider is working late to support his new family. It's raining. The streets are almost empty. His shift is nearly over. One order remains. The address leads him to an apartment building. The elevator isn't working, so he takes the stairs. What happens next becomes a cold case. You have the report.

Now live it for yourself.

INVESTIGATE. EXPERIENCE. DECIDE.

Night Shift is a short, standalone first-person psychological horror experience built around exploration, environmental interaction, dialogue, and observation. There are no monsters to hunt and no case markers telling you what matters.

What you notice is up to you. When the experience ends, you'll return to your desk, review the case, and file your conclusion.

Archive it.

Or leave it open.
