"IT'S BASICALLY LIKE CARROT TOP
IS TRYING
TO KILL US."
Rick, Flux, and Topsy check into the Sea View Hotel for At Dead of Night, the wonderfully strange FMV horror game that combines live-action performances, point-and-click exploration, ghost hunting, and one truly astonishing bald cap.
Maya is trapped inside a remote hotel with the deeply unsettling Jimmy Hall stalking its halls. To escape and rescue her friends, she'll need to uncover Jimmy's past by communicating with the ghosts haunting the hotel. Rick, Flux, and Topsy begin piecing together the tragic story of Amy Bell while learning how to survive Jimmy's increasingly terrifying appearances.
Unfortunately, there's one mystery they can't solve.
What is happening with Jimmy's HAIR?!
Every glimpse of Jimmy provides another opportunity to study one of the most gloriously unconvincing bald caps ever committed to FMV, and before long the gang is almost as concerned about his hairline as they are about getting murdered.
Despite the follicular distraction, At Dead of Night proves remarkably effective at building tension, with Jimmy's unpredictable appearances turning simple trips through the hotel into nerve-racking games of cat and mouse. The trio explores the hotel, communicates with its spirits, and completes Amy's story while laughing their way through one of modern FMV horror's most unique games. At Dead of Night describes itself as a blend of horror film, horror game and ghost hunt, with Maya uncovering Jimmy's past through the hotel's spirits. GAME BIO:
