THE RACK ROOM

The network is failing. The power is running out. Something is moving through the facility.

You were sent into an unnamed facility with one simple job: shut down the network.

That's all you know.

You don't know who owns the facility. You don't know why the network is still running. You don't know why you've been sent here alone.

And you certainly don't know what is hunting you.

SURVIVE FROM 12 TO 6

Somewhere inside the facility is a room containing two computers and a network switch. From here, you have limited control over the systems around you.

Doors can be closed.

Rooms can be pinged.

Cameras can be accessed.

But there is something else on the network.

Something that shouldn't be there.

Your job quickly changes from shutting down the facility to simply making it through the night.

From 12 AM to 6 AM, you must use the computers and network switch to keep whatever is inside the facility away from you.

There is no weapon.

There is nowhere to truly hide.

Your only defense is the technology around you.

SOMETHING IS IN THE BUILDING

You rarely see it.

Sometimes you'll catch a glimpse through a camera.

Sometimes a snapshot will reveal something that wasn't there before.

Sometimes you'll hear something approaching.

And sometimes you'll see it only when it's already too late.

The creature is made of wires.

It moves through the facility in ways you don't fully understand, appearing and disappearing throughout the building while you desperately try to keep track of it.

Use the network to ping different rooms and lure it away.

Close doors to slow its approach.

Watch the cameras.

Pay attention to the systems.

And whatever you do, don't let it reach you.

THE NETWORK ISN'T YOUR FRIEND

The computers are your greatest tool.

They're also slowly becoming your greatest problem.

Power is constantly being drained.

Computer batteries won't last forever.

Systems can overheat.

Network switch ports can die.

And as the night progresses, the facility becomes increasingly difficult to control.

Every action has a cost.

Every system you rely on can eventually fail.

You may have complete control over the facility's network—but that doesn't mean the network will remain under your control.

AN ENDLESS NIGHT

There is no traditional ending.

No final boss.

No escape sequence.

No guarantee that you'll ever make it out.

The goal is simple:

Survive.

Keep the monster away from your room for as long as you can.

Manage your power.

Keep your computers alive.

Watch the network.

Use the doors.

Ping the rooms.

And see how long you can last.

The night can continue indefinitely.

How long can you keep the system—and yourself—running?

The network is still running.

The facility is still powered.

And something is still here.
