4am

4am is a narrative game about a broke college student working the 9 PM to 4 AM shift at a tiny gimbap café in a back alley. The wages are unusually high, but the job seems ordinary: greet customers, take their orders, cook their food and serve sides and drinks. After closing, you walk home alone through the dark alley.

The night shift

You work for five nights, closing the shop at the end of each shift. As you get better at the job, the walk home becomes more unnerving. Footsteps follow you, and customers share unsettling stories.

What happened before

The café’s previous clerk worked there six months ago, and you investigate what became of them by paying attention to customers and gathering the clues they reveal. What you uncover, and who you tell, determines which of the two endings you get. Each night, the unease grows until, at 4 AM, someone is standing outside the door.
