Would you dare watching TV the whole night ? Play this game if you wanna try !

Watching TV is a great way to reassure yourself when shadows come into your room. Though, you'll need to switch between channels to keep yourself from being bored and scared, or eventually completely frozen from fear.
If you need to check if any shadow is in the room, you should turn off the TV and you'll see...
If there is one, turn on the light ! However, do not abuse of the lamp, it could get broken anytime...

-----------------------------------------------------------------
- Click to turn on and off the light
- Press spacebar to turn on and off the TV
- Press any other keys to switch between channels
-----------------------------------------------------------------


This is our first game jam and was quite a funny experience ! We were three developers and one graphic designer.

Engine: Unity
Developers: Alexis Tessier / Etienne Chaumont / Thomas Josseau
Designer: Olivier H茅brard
Graphics: Home made
Videos: Very bad quality exports from YouTube
Sounds: Free samples (manipulated with audio software)

Enjoy our game, and don't forget to rate it !
Feedbacks are welcomed too !

I did not think I would go through the whole night but I did! Well done it's very interesting and a great use of the theme I think.

I'm not sure if the game can be won; I made it to 8:17 am and still had to worry about the shadow. The interaction was minimal, but the actions made sense and the tension was great. Good job.

Nice tension building. A bit slow for my liking though ;)

Really nice spooky atmosphere, loved the interpretation of the theme. Reminded me a bit of Five Nights at Freddy's! Loved the implementation of the TV shows too, you guys did a great job.

Felt like watching TV at 2 am as a kid. Love the idea. It moved a little slow probably. I did appreciate the low res clips. Funny idea.

Pretty tense, wasn't entirely sure what I was warding off until I turned off the TV - creepy! Think the game could do with a bit more to do, but it's a great idea.

Wow, so simple yet so horrifying! Have been immersed for the past 5 minutes and felt truly scared to turn off the light or TV. Great job :D

Very nice mood indeed. I love that you can turn off/on the lights detail. I wish there were more stuff in the room to interact with, though. Great job nonetheless. Very interesting approach to the theme

Awesome! I would have liked to better understand how the light could break before starting - number of clicks? Length on? Mood in this game was really good! Tr猫s bien fait!

I couldnt help myself. I had to see what would happen if I turned everything off and just waited once I saw the shadow the first time :P pretty creepy though. Good looking art and the tv was nicely done.

Oh my I didn't think this would scare me and it did. Good job on that! The gameplay itself is quite boring but that's sort of a good thing with games like this.

There's no audio rating, I would've given that quite a bit, it really helped set the mood. It got really tense towards the end, turned the tv off at 5 minute mark, I assume the night is longer... great game (:

Wow. Beautiful atmosphere.
Nice selection of videos.
Gameplay worked but got a bit boring in the end.
Getting eaten by monsters at 9 in the morning was a bit surprising.

Very simple but extremely atmospheric. I like the understated design, with everything being done in shadow...especially when a monster gets you. I appreciate subtetly in horror and this game is as subtle as it is effective. The real TV clips also add a lot to the authenticity. Great entry!

(Also, Call of the Wintermoon \m/ )

Ah, I got an error, so I couldn't play your game. Shame, it looks cool.
Under the unity logo it says "Error launching Unity Player", and clicking a link labeled "Error details" gives the message "Bad file length".
