5 Nights at Data Center

Night shift horror

5 Nights at Data Center is a first-person psychological horror game for PC. You play Walter Kessler, working five handcrafted night shifts at a data center. Each shift runs from 22:00 to 06:00, and goes wrong in its own way.

Rounds and procedures

You lock up the lobby, take the lift down to the console, clear alarms, and walk rounds through the server halls. You also log incidents on a whiteboard and answer the desk radio, following procedure as you try to make it to six. There’s no combat or game-over screen; the dread comes from the shifts and what happens during them.
