At Dead of Night

At Dead Of Night is a chilling hybrid of horror film and interactive game, immersing players in a terrifying ghost hunt & avoidance experience. Trapped in a remote hotel by the sinister Jimmy Hall, Maya must evade his clutches while uncovering his dark secrets. With her friends held captive, Maya utilizes an ancient ghost voice receiver to communicate with the spirits haunting the hotel, gradually unraveling the mysteries that bind them to Jimmy's malevolent past. As live-action sequences blend seamlessly with graphics, players must navigate the perilous corridors of the hotel, confronting their deepest fears in a quest for survival and redemption. Narrative themes include chase/pursuit, ghosts, abuse, and ableism (sanism). Special thanks to YouTubers Jacksepticeye & Markiplier for playing through this game, allowing us to pull a lot of this information from their videos.
