ACCOUNT_0

You're James, covering the evening IT shift at Morrow Systems. One ticket remains: delete the account of former employee Mara Venn.

HR has confirmed her death. Her desk has been cleared. Her status is still Available.

When you try to remove her profile, Mara starts messaging you. Documents return altered. The workstation begins to behave as though someone else is using it. Then you hear something beyond the screen.

Search her files, reconstruct the incident, and discover what is keeping ACCOUNT_0 online. What you preserve—and what you choose to erase—will shape how the night ends.

## Inside the workstation

- **An entire computer to investigate.** Open folders, search documents, read conversations, inspect processes, and work through system tools inside an interactive fictional operating system.

- **Puzzles built into the job.** Follow evidence across files and messages to repair corrupted data, reconstruct events, resolve permissions, and regain control of the workstation. Puzzles have no countdown or retry penalty.

- **A desktop that deteriorates.** Watch the familiar interface become increasingly unsettling as its wallpaper, windows, and messages change around you.

- **Horror that reaches beyond the monitor.** Directional room sounds, brief brightness dips, distorted voices, and unexpected movement make the space around the screen part of the experience.

- **Three endings.** Your investigation and final decisions determine what remains of Mara’s account.

- **Save and return.** Automatic saving and a Continue option let you resume the investigation.

- **Adjustable intensity.** Control Panel includes volume, larger text, reduced effects, and a jumpscare toggle.
