Hourly pay: 15,000 won. No experience. Start tonight. The night shift is open at Happy Mart 24, at the end of the No. 44 bus line. On your first night, the manager's laminated shift rules are taped to the counter. And under the counter, someone who worked here before you left a note. The two pieces of paper do not agree. Which one you trust is up to you. ■ THE GAME · Rule-based horror told through conversation and choices · Talk to customers, check the CCTV, and compare the rules with the note · One answer, one glance can change how the night ends · About 15 minutes long, with 10 endings. Can you find them all? · The store remembers the name you write on your contract ■ THE STORE Rain at the end of the line. One fluorescent light won't stop buzzing. A regular grandmother, a student waiting for the last bus, and 3:33 in the morning. Treat every customer with kindness. If that customer is human. ■ HOW TO PLAY · Put on headphones and turn off the lights · Take your time. The clues are always somewhere on screen · It's fine to fail. You can go back to that moment · Reach an ending and send tonight's shift log to a friend ■ GOOD TO KNOW · Contains jump scares and horror themes · Playable without an internet connection · No ads
