CASE: Animatronics is a truly scary and challenging first-person stealth horror. Control of the police department is in the hands of an anonymous hacker. All the exits are locked. The power has been shut off. There are metallic thumps getting closer. Will you survive, Detective Bishop? Welcome to the police department, where working late can lead to tragic consequences. You're John Bishop, a overworked detective who tirelessly carries out investigations late into the night. You’re torn from yet another night of fitful rest and nightmares by a strange call from an old friend, turning your whole world upside-down. Your police department is cut off from the power grid. The security system has been hacked. All the exits are locked. But that’s not the real problem. Someone, someTHING, is following you. Red eyes shine from dark corners, and the sound of shifting, clanking metal echoes through once-safe halls. You know them simply as animatronics, but something unknown and horrifying is driving them. Figure out what’s going on, survive the night, and find the one responsible for this madness.
