Step into the shoes of a night security guard in Strange Night, a chilling first-person psychological horror game developed by Labory and published by SA Industry. This indie title plunges players into an unsettling apartment complex, where a mysterious client has hired a security firm for overnight duty.

What begins as a routine job quickly devolves into a descent into fear and madness as the true nature of the location is revealed.

Inspired by the atmospheric dread of P. T.

and the suspenseful camera monitoring of Five Nights at Freddy's, Strange Night focuses on building tension through observation and limited interaction. Players must diligently monitor security cameras and conduct periodic rounds, all while navigating the growing sense of unease and the unknown horrors that lurk just out of sight.

The game's design emphasizes a palpable sense of vulnerability, making every shadow and sound a potential threat.

To enhance the immersive experience, Strange Night is best played during its intended in-game hours, between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM. This temporal constraint adds another layer to the psychological pressure, forcing players to confront the darkness when the world outside is asleep.
