On My Watch

On My Watch is a first-person psychological horror game about an overnight hospital security shift that gradually becomes unsettling. You check cameras, make rounds and meet the staff and patients who are still awake. A convenience store across the street offers another place to stop and talk.

The night shift

As the night goes on, you may hear a sound from an empty room, spot something new on a camera or meet someone who seems to know more about you than they should. The hospital’s staff and patients are dealing with their own nights: some are kind, some are exhausted, and some do not want to talk. Conversations include awkward jokes, strange encounters and moments of warmth before events become more troubling.

You monitor CCTV feeds, investigate changes around the hospital and explore patient rooms, quiet corridors and the streets outside. You can take your time finding optional clues and conversations, and play games on the security computer. Sudden scares and tense sequences are balanced with moments to catch your breath.

Clues and endings

Patient files, staff handoffs and optional conversations reveal parts of a larger story. You can explore beyond your rounds and follow what draws your attention. What you uncover and what you choose to do lead to three different endings.

Grainy VHS visuals, rain-soaked streets and the hum of the hospital after hours shape the atmosphere.
