About This Game

The Night Is Long is a short first-person Lovecraftian inspired horror game that explores grief, guilt, and the chilling unknown.

In the midst of emotional turmoil, a grieving man sets out on a nighttime drive, desperate to escape the pain of his past. But when his deceased wife suddenly appears in the middle of the road, he swerves into the unknown — and follows her into a long-abandoned mansion.

Inside, reality begins to unravel. The deeper he explores, the clearer it becomes: the night is long, and he is not alone.

Use your wits and determination to survive the horrors within and uncover the truth buried in the shadows of the mansion.
