Old School Night Watchman [HORROR]
How a night unfolds
Step
When the clock hits 11 p.m., the school phone rings on its own and gives you your first set of tasks. Each passing hour brings new tasks and deeper mysteries, so the pressure builds steadily as the night goes on. Your two goals running at the same time are completing every task and uncovering the secrets hidden in the school.
- Move through the school visit the rooms the tasks require and search for needed items.
- Complete each task finishing them is what moves the night forward.
- Reach 5 a.m. surviving until morning means you made it.

Warning signs during exploration
WarnThe school behaves differently at night. Doors that should be locked start opening on their own, and footsteps echo from corridors that look completely empty.
Solo play vs. group play
TableUp to 25 players can be in the same school at the same time. That lets a group divide tasks and cover the building. Solo play is possible, but every challenge falls entirely on you.
| Solo | every task and every mystery is yours to handle without backup. |
| Group | different players can tackle different tasks at the same time. |
| Information sharing | teammates can tell each other where items are or what they found in a room. |

- Early night simpler tasks.
- Middle of the night new tasks appear and the mysteries start to deepen.
- Later hours the school's dark secrets come closer to the surface and the presence of something else becomes harder to ignore.
