In Chilla’s Art Night Security, players take on the role of a lone employee covering an overnight shift in a quiet, corporate high-rise. At first, the job is simple: you walk floor by floor checking alarms, shutting off lights, and making sure the building is secure. Everything feels ordinary, even a little dull—but that sense of routine quickly turns into something unsettling. The more you follow your checklist, the more the environment begins to shift in ways that suggest something isn’t quite right.
Patterns, Puzzles, and Paranoia
As the night continues, your responsibilities repeat but small details begin to change. Locked doors appear where none were before, lights flicker without cause, and strange figures seem to lurk just outside your line of sight. The building grows stranger the higher you go, and what started as a security job begins to feel more like an investigation into a hidden narrative.
Here are some gameplay elements you’ll encounter:
- You’ll explore multiple floors, each with unique events and puzzles.
- Some areas include fuse boxes, code-locked panels, and other interactive objects.
- Key moments involve collecting items or triggering environmental changes to move forward.
Clues in the Silence
There is no combat and no weaponry—just you, a flashlight, and an ever-changing building. You’re left to interpret strange visuals, eerie audio cues, and cryptic messages on computers and TVs. Each floor brings more distortion, and timelines begin to blur. Is everything happening on the same night? Or is time repeating itself with slight differences each time you return? The stillness becomes part of the horror, and you’re left to draw your own conclusions.
Two Paths Out
Depending on your actions near the end, the game leads to two possible outcomes. One suggests escape, while the other reveals something more emotional and reflective. Whichever route you take, the final moments feel unresolved—deliberately so—leaving space for interpretation. You’re not handed a clear answer, but rather invited to think back on the events and question what was real and what wasn’t.
A Quiet Descent into Dread
Chilla’s Art Night Security doesn’t rely on traditional horror techniques. Instead of monsters or gore, it uses repetition, atmosphere, and quiet disruptions to build tension. It’s a short but memorable experience that sticks with you. Even after turning the game off, players are likely to reflect on its meaning, its symbolism, and the eerie calm of that office building where nothing—and everything—seemed wrong.
