AfterHours

About

You’re stuck in an empty hospital long past its closing time. The power flickers. Hallways stretch into silence. A faceless predator stalks the ruins. Your tools are a shaky flashlight a rusted fire axe and the crumbling walls that might hide you. You scavenge for supplies and map out escape routes while the creature’s footsteps grow louder. Every creak feels like a warning. Every shadow could be it. AfterHours launched in 2022 and leans hard into its claustrophobic setting. The hospital feels lived-in with peeling posters and broken medical equipment. The creature’s behavior shifts based on your actions creating moments of panic and quiet dread. While it doesn’t reinvent the horror genre its tight pacing and atmospheric tension earned it a 72% on Metacritic. Best played with the volume low and doors locked.
