Night Clerk

I found this game through CaseOh. Since his video is outdated, I was pleased to see that details such as cars and bathroom doors were added. This game is fun for anyone who thrives on slow-burn paranoia. The developers absolutely have the potential to make a good horror game. The only critiques I have about this game are as follows: - Make the motel less stale. Since this is especially apparent when looking at the rooms, I suggest giving them slight variety. Add different paintings, add dressers with a TV, a closet, etc. - When the power goes off and you go into the settings menu, a glitch occurs causing the lights to come back on. This can be fixed by simply turning on the power as if nothing happened. Nonetheless, I'm sure the developers would like to know about it so they could fix it.

The game just plays really well and it actually hits emotionally.The playing area isn’t big, but it doesn’t need to be. What’s there is genuinely interesting to explore, with small activities scattered around, a solid story, and this whole daily clerk routine that slowly gets under your skin in a good way. And yeah… the scares got me. Like, proper “I just jumped out of my chair” moments. What’s cool is the game constantly messes with your expectations - the jumpscare you’re bracing for doesn’t happen, and then out of nowhere you get hit when you’ve fully relaxed. It keeps you on edge in a smart way, not just cheap tricks. Audio is honestly on another level. Every little detail feels intentional - random creaks, distant rustling, ambient noises that make you constantly second-guess what you’re hearing. Sometimes it’s nothing… sometimes it definitely isn’t. And that’s where a lot of the tension comes from. Atmosphere-wise, it’s strong. Like, really strong. You get this weird mix where part of you feels safe, like “okay I’ve got this,” and the other part is constantly waiting for something to go wrong. It’s that push-pull feeling the whole time. Performance is solid too, no real issues there. If I had one complaint, it’s that I wish there were more graphics settings to tweak. Right now it feels a bit limited. Overall though? This is definitely a game worth paying attention to. Easy recommendation from me.

its pretty good, gave me a good scare and a bit of a laugh at certain points. 8/10, highly recommended.

Really refreshing to play a horror game that doesn't just rely on someone screaming in your ear every two minutes. This one is a total slow-burn. The game forces you into this mundane routine, and honestly, that's where the real dread kicks in. You get so used to doing the same tasks that when a tiny, subtle detail changes, it completely messes with your head. You find yourself standing there staring at a corner wondering if you're actually seeing things or if the game is just playing tricks on you. The atmosphere is incredibly heavy. Definitely recommend it if you like psychological horror that actually respects your intelligence.

As a horror movie fan, this is a nicely made short game that kept me paranoid on what happens next after each shift, especially since I'm a person who gets easily immersed in mysterious slowburn thrillers like this one. A couple of scenes did interrupt my sense of safety anytime something shocking pops up. This game really makes you want to play detective, and the results are up to you depending on your pacing. Plus the world weirdly reminds me of the movie Lost Highway (psycho thriller movie). Overall, pretty solid game and I would love to see more of this in the future.

I really liked the feeling of isolation during the night shift. Watching cameras while subtle things slowly change creates constant tension.

The game creates a genuinely unsettling atmosphere with its dark neon visuals, slow pacing, and strong sound design. Ambient noises and moments of silence do a great job of building tension. However, the gameplay becomes repetitive over time due to the lack of new mechanics, and some scares are too predictable to remain effective. Movement and animations also feel somewhat stiff, and the lack of auto-save can be frustrating. Overall, a solid atmospheric horror experience with good tension, but it could use more gameplay variety and polish.

This is the kind of game that makes you afraid to finish the next task. You're working a quiet night shift at a remote motel, and somewhere between the routine and the silence, the dread builds on its own. The horror never forces anything on you, it just makes you uncertain, and that unpredictability kept me on edge the entire time. The motel design, the ambient music, the radio at the front desk, all of it pulls you into a late-night atmosphere that feels genuinely unsettling.

A solid indie horror that understands dread. The atmosphere is thick from the second you start. It relies way more on making you question your own eyes than it does on loud jumpscares, which I massively appreciate. It's one of those games where you find yourself checking behind you in real life while playing. The dev is super cool too constantly replying to community feedback and fixing things up. Excited to see how this game keeps evolving.

too bad
