Case 000: The Night Shift

Take the night shift at Paranormal Warehouse. Investigate strange recordings, uncover the archive’s secrets, and discover where your choices lead. Explore a text-based horror mystery with multiple endings.

Free to play in your browser. No ChatGPT account or sign-in required. The game opens as a full page in this tab, with room for your keyboard, story text and scares.

Before you begin: This fictional horror game includes sudden sounds and scary imagery. Sound and scare settings are adjustable in the game’s Shift Briefing and controls. Start at a comfortable volume.

Your shift. Your choices.

Read the scene, type a command or use the action buttons, and follow the evidence. Try HELP or HINT if you need a nudge. This is fictional interactive horror, not a real PW investigation.
