Stained Night
A downloadable game for Windows
Welcome to your night shift.
You're the only worker on the graveyard shift at a 24-hour laundromat.
Your task is simple:
Take the clothes. Wash them. Return them.
Repeat.
But as the night wears on, something begins to shift.
The air grows heavier.
The customers become... stranger.
And then; silence.
Stained Night is a first-person PSX-style psychological horror experience. A slow-burning descent into discomfort, where the routine is your only anchor; until it isn't. Each hour brings new tensions. Each load of laundry spins deeper into something you can’t explain.
Play through a full six-hour shift, where each hour adds new layers of mystery and dread.
Low-resolution textures, lo-fi rendering, and visual noise, all inspired by the eerie charm of 90s horror games.
Collect clothes, wash, dry, return. Simple tasks, until the world around them begins to fall apart.
Each customer carries more than just their laundry. Learn their stories, piece together the truth.
Subtle, immersive, and intentionally unsettling. The soundscape builds tension without relying on cheap scares.
A story told through fragments, silence, and suggestion. No jumpscares; just a creeping sense that something is wrong.
Designed to be completed in a single sitting, with a tight, focused experience and no filler.
Stained Night is an indie horror project developed by two friends passionate about atmosphere-driven games.
We're currently working on updates, polish, and new ideas.

Soft Lock
I couldn't finish it. I'm soft-locked.
BUGS:
1 - The key pushes the player when they pick it up.
2 - Pick-up items have no collision when held, allowing them to pass through walls.
3 - It's possible to open more than one paper at a time.
4 - Particles as child objects of the player, rotating with the camera.
5 - It's possible to bug the movement with the washing machines.
6 - Lack of visual feedback, especially for objectives.
7 - Soft-lock on washing machines: when you put clothes in them, they can get stuck, causing a soft-lock.
8 - When switching customers, the game stutters (poorly optimized code).
9 - Too many assets in the game and too few credits, I suspect.
