What kind of game is this?

[Maratae]

I've been looking at Chilla's Art games like this one, Okaeri, The Karaoke, Missing Children, The Closing Shift -- and wondering if they are for me or not.

Do these games have enemies? Hide-and-seek mechanics? Do you have to run away?

I usually prefer walking simulators with puzzles and I'm wondering if this is it.

Thanks!

I'd definitely categorize this one (haven't played any other) as a walking simulator. Without spoiling anything, you basically just go do your shift as a nightshift gas station employee and some weird stuff happens through the nights. No ennemies or hide and seek, you just pretty much play through the story and (hopefully) get scared/nervous a bit.

Only piece of advice I'd give though is to avoid getting too close to the shed behind the gas station before you actually get to that part of the story (you'll know when), otherwise, there's a glitch that can make you pass through the wall and you'll skip a night or two because the events of that future night will trigger as normal. It's not the end of the world, but it's a bit annoying if you want to experience the whole game without skipping stuff.

Alright! Thank you so much.
Sounds like my kind of jam, then!
