About this game Read the full description


What is worse than working the night shift at your local mall? Not knowing that what you are doing is real. Experience a dark & foreboding story set within the confines of a seemingly abandoned shopping mall. Experience the epilogue "After Hours", an introductory chapter to a bigger story set within the same universe.

After Hours features a realistic low-poly Playstation aesthetic with low-resolution textures, per-pixel lighting, vertex snapping, dithering & many other classic PS1 throwbacks you can shake a stick at!

Psychological Horror

I am a huge fan of retro games, especially the Playstation era. At one point in my life, I had over 1000 PS1 games & still to this day love playing them. I have always wanted to create an accurate rendition of what a PS1 game actually looks like & after spending months fine-tuning my post-processing materials, I finally feel like I have achieved what I set out to do. I love horror games and I wanted to be the one to throw my hat in the ring & have people experience what my version of a PS1-style game could be.

Love the artwork? Me too! My friend & University peer Miranda Bennett Margrave handled the box art for After Hours. Please drop her a follow on Twitter!
