Excav: Night Shift

You are a freelance investigative journalist drawn to a string of unnerving disappearances at Excav, a private research and excavation company. Your journey begins on a lonely forest road, eventually leading to an isolated security outpost that overlooks the dig. The lights burn, the office hums, and the radio crackles with static, but the staff have vanished—no calls, no bodies, only whispers etched into the walls. The site was abandoned mere hours before your arrival, yet something moves in the corridors. Footsteps echo where there should be none, and security cameras blink with a warning that you’re not alone. As night deepens, a slow-burn horror reveals itself from the echoing tunnels to the ceiling’s cold silence.

Inside, the truth behind the excavation begins to surface through a chain of unsettling discoveries. Strange audio logs hint at rising paranoia among workers, while malfunctioning security robots patrol with no orders. A cheerful rabbit-themed animatronic flickers in the shadows, its smile too bright for this desolate place. Deep within the facility, a floating skull entity drifts near the dig’s core, a relic tied to a mystery older than the company itself. Each clue drags you deeper into a web of corporate secrecy and a discovery that should never have been unearthed. Every doorway becomes a puzzle, every corridor a potential trap, and your nerves threaten to unravel under the weight of what you might uncover.
