Quiet Hours: Unreported

The house is supposed to be empty. Watch it through six cameras, report every change, and don't ignore the one that's walking toward you.

You are the night operator for HomeSentry Remote. From midnight to 6am you watch the cameras of an empty house at 9 Wrenfield Close. Your job is simple: report every change. Follow the rules. The house is empty.

• Six cameras, one empty house. Flick between the rooms and remember how they looked.
• Something changes. A chair moves. A door opens. A light comes on. Someone is standing where no one should be.
• Report it before the interference takes over the feed.
• Short nights: one shift lasts about 6 minutes. Three nights, each harder than the last.

Every night the agency sends you rules. The first ones are easy. Then new ones arrive in the middle of the shift, and not every message you receive should be trusted.

Break a rule and the house notices. Messages, events and rules change on every run.

Quiet Hours is growing. Tonight you watch 9 Wrenfield Close: new properties, new rules and new nights are being built for future updates. Follow the game to hear when the next location opens, and tell me in the comments what kind of place you would like to watch.

This is an early build. What did you miss? What felt unfair? When did you get scared, or bored? Every comment is read, and the next update is built on them.
