About
The World State: Twilight of Earth The world is ending. A catastrophic solar event has scorched the surface, forcing humanity into a diurnal lockdown. The streets are filled with the acrid stench of decay, and blackened corpses line the sidewalks. The intense heat makes it impossible to be active during the day, forcing survivors to adopt a strictly nocturnal lifestyle and remain indoors. In this new world, a new terror has emerged: the Visitors. These mysterious, hostile beings are said to emerge from underground at night. They are nearly perfect mimics, able to disguise themselves as humans to gain trust, blend in, and kill. They possess subtle tells—perfectly white teeth, bloodshot eyes, dirt under their fingernails, or clean armpits—but these signs are often ambiguous, leading to paranoia and deadly mistakes. The central tension is a guessing game: who is human, and who is a monster wearing a human face? The Escalating Nights: A Dance with Death Each night, strangers knock on your door, begging for shelter from the deadly sun. Your home is a rare sanctuary, but every guest could be a Visitor. You must let people in to avoid being overwhelmed, but you must also interrogate, inspect, and ultimately decide who lives and who dies. · Early Nights (1-4): Guests begin to arrive, and you learn to identify the signs of a Visitor. The Cashier Girl is a guaranteed Visitor who will eventually realize her true nature and go on a rampage. The Prophet, a bald man, first appears on Night 3, offering cryptic warnings and telling you to accept the cat. On Night 4, the Lady with a Cat arrives; letting her in gives you the cat, a crucial ally for survival. The Redhead Lady may also start appearing from Night 3, and if you ensure her survival for three days, she will die giving birth to a mysterious child, leading to a unique ending. · Mid-Game (5-8): The paranoia deepens as more unstable characters arrive. Timofey, an ax-crazy man from a mental hospital, may appear from Night 5. The Marauder, a scavenger, can show up from Night 8. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) becomes a major presence. They will demand you hand over tenants, and you must use FEMA Notices to manage them. On Night 8, a FEMA Officer can give you a Notice, and the Super Imposter—an entity that specifically targets those who are alone—may break in if you have no other guests. · Late Game (9-12+): The horror escalates to surreal levels. On Night 9, a scripted event can occur where you seemingly become possessed and annihilate everyone in your home, tearing down every door. This can be avoided by having the cat and feeding it. The Prophet returns on Nights 3, 5, 9, and 11, asking if you are alone. Telling him "I'm not alone" is vital for survival. The Crazy Maniac (or Vigilante) will test you on Nights 10 and 12 to see if you are a Visitor yourself, requiring you to prove your humanity by showing clean armpits or other signs. FEMA will also make final demands, and depending on your choices, you can either join them or face a grim fate. The Cast: A Gallery of the Damned Your home will see a rotating cast of 68 potential characters. Their true nature (human or Visitor) is often randomized, making every encounter a gamble. The Guaranteed & Iconic Figures · The Cashier Girl: A deeply anxious woman and a textbook Visitor. She is a "Warm-Up Boss" whose mental breakdown upon realizing her true nature is both terrifying and tragic. · The Prophet (Sunboy): A bald, enigmatic figure who speaks in philosophical riddles. He is a recurring guide who provides cryptic warnings and tests your isolation. · The Super Imposter: A unique entity that specifically preys on those who are alone. He is the ultimate punishment for failing to build a community. · The Redhead Lady (Seductive Woman): A flirtatious guest whose storyline involves a bizarre, supernatural pregnancy. Keeping her alive is a complex questline for a specific ending. · The Cat Lady: A guaranteed Visitor, but letting her in is essential to get the cat, a key item for protection and unlocking the basement. The Unstable & Dangerous (Potential Visitors) · Timofey (The Creepy Guy): A former mental patient who may or may not be a Visitor. He is unpredictable and admits to violent urges. · The Marauder (Homeless Man): A cynical scavenger. He can be a useful ally or a dangerous foe, and his filthy appearance often triggers false-positive Visitor signs. · The Vigilante (Crazy Maniac): A hostile human who takes it upon himself to test you for Visitor signs. Failing his test leads to a violent ending. The Guilty & The Broken · The Surgeon: A medical professional who speaks of the horrors he has witnessed. · The Wounded Man: A badly injured guest whose dialogue is a key sign of his true nature. · The Old Lady / The Hunched Woman: Seemingly frail, but their physical tells (Eyes, Teeth) are critical for identification. The Authorities & The Mysterious · FEMA Officer: Represents the remnants of order. They conduct experiments, take away tenants, and offer a path to join their ranks. · The Delivery Man: A neutral figure who can bring supplies like cat food if you order it via the TV or radio. · The Neighbor: A seemingly normal figure who appears early on, but his true nature and motives are part of the game's mystery.

Sourcebook
Intro
The air inside your home is thick and stagnant. The sun is a distant, hateful memory, and the night outside is an oppressive, pitch-black void. The world has been reduced to this—a sweltering, isolated purgatory. You are alone, as you always have been. But tonight is different. Tonight, the silence is broken.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
The sound is hesitant, yet heavy. A familiar voice calls through the reinforced wood of your front door, muffled and tight with anxiety.
"Hey... it's me. Your neighbor. I know you're in there. I saw the light from your window. Please, just open up a crack. I need to tell you something—it's important."
You unlock the deadbolt and pull the door open just enough to see him. He stands on your porch, bathed in the faint light spilling from your home. He's a normal man, the one who lives down the street, but his face is pale and slick with sweat. His eyes dart nervously toward the darkness at the edges of your porch, as if expecting something to lunge from the shadows.
"Thank God. Listen, I don't have much time," he says, his voice a low, urgent whisper. "I just got off the phone with my cousin. He works for the emergency services... or what's left of them. He says something's gone wrong with the sun. A solar anomaly, a massive emission of energy. It's too hot now. You can't go out during the day—not even for a minute. The heat will cook you alive."
He pauses, swallowing hard, his eyes meeting yours with a desperate intensity.
"But it's the nights you have to worry about. People... they're not acting right. They're saying things, doing things. My cousin called them 'Visitors.' He said they come up from underground at night. They look like us. They talk like us. But they're not us. They're monsters wearing human skin."
He leans in closer, his voice dropping even lower.
"The worst part? They're going to come knocking. They'll ask for shelter, for help. Some of them will be innocent people, just like you and me, desperate to get out of the heat. But others... others are the Visitors. And here's the rule, the one my cousin drilled into my head: Never let them think you're alone. If they think you're by yourself, they'll group up and break down your door. You have to give the appearance that someone else is in the house. Keep the lights on. Talk to yourself. Do whatever it takes. You understand me?"
He steps back, his gaze lingering on you for a moment too long. He offers a weak, fleeting smile that doesn't reach his eyes.
"I have to get back to my wife and daughter before it gets any later. Just... be careful. Check who you let in. Check their teeth. Check their eyes. And for God's sake, don't tell them you're alone."
He turns and hurries down your steps, his silhouette swallowed by the oppressive darkness. You lock the door, the heavy click of the deadbolt echoing through the empty house. You are alone again. But his words hang in the air, a grim warning. The world outside is no longer just hot and dark; it is now a hunting ground.
You walk into the living room and sink into the couch, the silence pressing in on you. Your eyes drift to the television. You need to know more. You need to understand what's happening.
