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.

Good atmosphere and concept
Game seems a little buggy or maybe suffers from a lack of clear signposting OR and this is just as equally if not more so possible, I am an idiot. Fantastic atmosphere otherwise! Edit: Went back for a second try and it was bugged last time. I have now finished the game and think that it's still pretty great with excellent horror vibes.
I started off thinking it was generic horror shovelware but honestly this is a really cool short game
fun little game. A little confusing at the beginning, but became very fun and I had a few scares.
나는 못질을 한다. 하지만 그 이유를 모른다. 그리고 아침이 온다...
Fantastic, deeply compelling little horror game, with some great tricks, scares, and a sense of panic unlike what I've felt from a horror game since FNaF, and yes, that's a compliment. I also have questions, many of them. For a half-hour game to slide a rabbit hole that big underneath me is a work of elegant genius by the devs, I think. Not just what it all means, but how it all connects. I'd voice more questions but I don't want to risk spoiling anything; I'd rather be safe than sorry. c;
게임 켜고 문 열릴 때까지 기다려봤더니 소름 돋네요..
игра супер! даёт полёт фантазии, потому что нет шаблонности. прошёл на одном дыхании
(스포방지) - - - - - - - - - 엔딩이 이해가 안가시는분들은 게임 켜고 문이 열릴때까지 기다려보세요
テキストや会話などが一切ないので開始して数分は何をすればいいのかと戸惑うかもしれません。 ですがそれこそがこのゲームの没入感を高めてくれる要素です。 ゲーム自体は非常に単純で、複雑なプレイなどはありません。 ただ、起こる出来事に対処をするだけです。
