About

Protect yourself as long as you must in Box of Broken Nails - a surreal horror experience.
Use your hammer and nails to board up an unknown door with something breaking out. Find resources around your house and nail down planks in time. Don't let it open. No matter what.

There is only this one note, it reads:
"Since I started living here alone, the nights felt endless. I barely remember if my halls have been this way before. Lately I hear the sounds of my work from behind the walls. The plates are shattering over and over again. I’m just making things up again, am I not? There was never anything wrong with...
And even if, it changes nothing — what matters is that I simply must continue and make, make…
...Make it go away."
No text notes, no audio logs. The story unfolds through the gameplay itself and what it evokes in you.
A stressful game loop that changes over time.
An unexpected turn of events.
Only one outcome.
Box of Broken Nails contains flashing lights, strong camera shaking, and intentional visual distortion effects. Please use caution if you are affected by flashing or rapidly moving visuals.

Very good atmospheric, short 30 minute horror game. Only issue ive found is that alt tabbing, especially during loading can crash the game
Bought this game after watching Power Pak's video. It felt wrong to enjoy everything this awesome game has to offer without supporting it.
I was told to play this without hearing anything about it and I'm so happy I did. Thanks powerpak

Fun little scary game.
Truly incredible from my experience. apparently there's a lot more?
This game is very good at conveying tension, confusingly spiralling into a scrambling mess. The way you're also able to pick up more on the symbolism & meaning of the story after the fact is very impressive. Worth the 5 bucks
One of the most genuinely unsettling games I've played. According to my wife I let out a real fear filled scream near the middle of the game. Loved every tension filled minute. Simple concept. Beautiful execution.
I hope this hurts
i hammer da nails im da nail hammerer
The door is just one small part of the experience. The game doesn't tell you its true depths.
