  • Night Security is a solid addition to Chilla's Art's catalog, showcasing improvements in graphics and gameplay mechanics.

  • story
    80 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in this game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it vague and incomplete, often requiring external resources to fully understand the plot. While some appreciated the atmospheric horror and the gradual buildup of tension, others criticized the lack of clarity and depth, feeling that the narrative was overshadowed by gameplay mechanics. Overall, the game offers an intriguing premise but leaves players wanting more context and coherence in its storytelling.

    • “The progression of the story and the progression of the horror is done very well.”
    • “Outstanding game, simple story told at a slow burn that gradually ramps up the terror from level to level.”
    • “The story is well-paced, the atmosphere is on point throughout, and the slow burn of horrific events really ratchets up the anxiety and tension wonderfully throughout the experience.”
    • “The story felt incomplete; I would have liked to know more about what was occurring in the building. All lore is from the VHS tapes, and it would have been better with more context so I didn't have to look up the story afterwards.”
    • “I had to eventually look up a discussion tab to find someone who could explain what the whole story was about. I was perplexed by some reviews, but I put that down to others having played other titles from Chilla's Art.”
    • “My only criticism was that even after completing the game, watching all the tapes, and getting both endings, I found the story to be unclear, as others have said.”
  • atmosphere
    68 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its unsettling and immersive qualities, effectively building tension and psychological horror without relying heavily on jump scares. Players appreciate the sound design and environmental details that contribute to a constant feeling of unease, making it a standout experience in the indie horror genre. However, some critiques mention that a lack of character dialogue can detract from the overall immersion and realism.

    • “Night security is one of the most unsettling horror experiences I’ve played in the indie scene, and it stands out because it doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares — it builds tension through atmosphere, pacing, and a constant feeling of being watched.”
    • “The atmosphere is really good, lots of creaking building noises that make you second guess if they're regular building noises or something creeping up behind you.”
    • “The story is well paced, the atmosphere is on point throughout and the slow burn of horrific events really ratchets up the anxiety and tension wonderfully throughout the experience.”
    • “I dislike that there wasn't much dialogue from the security guard until the end; he didn't acknowledge the situation. It would have made sense for him to be freaked out, and it would have added to the atmosphere.”
    • “With each floor happening, there is no response from our side, which kind of killed the atmosphere because there was no sign of normal human behavior, making it feel unrealistic.”
    • “They still captured a build-up of creating a scary and chilling atmosphere, but this game of theirs just really missed the mark.”
  • graphics
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game have received widespread acclaim for their unsettling and atmospheric qualities, effectively creating a sense of unease that enhances the horror experience. Many reviewers praised the unique art style, reminiscent of PSX graphics, which contributes to the game's eerie ambiance and nightmarish visuals. Overall, the visuals are described as impressive, with a strong focus on creating a foreboding atmosphere that captivates players.

    • “It’s not about flashy visuals or fancy tricks — it’s about making you feel genuinely uneasy with minimal tools and maximum atmosphere.”
    • “As always, Chilla's Art has gone for their usual VHS-style visuals, which continues to work well in producing the unsettling feeling that their games are known for.”
    • “The graphics overall were unsettling and gave me liminal vibes, getting more and more unsettling.”
    • “My first Chilla's Art game, and honestly while most of the graphics are pretty jank, the game's concept of new floors and new horrors hits.”
    • “The visuals are the usual fare you get from the developer, with bizarre looking people and nightmarish expressions on their faces.”
  • gameplay
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics that create a tense atmosphere, with a focus on exploration and strategic encounters rather than complex interactions. While some players appreciate the balance of horror and exploration, others criticize the limited gameplay elements, likening it to a walking simulator with repetitive tasks. Overall, the game offers a mix of engaging scares and straightforward mechanics, though opinions vary on its depth and replay value.

    • “The gameplay strikes a perfect balance between tension and exploration.”
    • “The scares are well-earned, and the absence of overdone mechanics makes each encounter hit harder.”
    • “As always, Chilla has outdone themselves; it's not their best work but still had me on edge and the gameplay was overall pretty engaging.”
    • “The game mechanics are simple, and the first time playing might seem hard to understand what to do.”
    • “$8 not worth just one hour or less of gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay wise there is very little here too, it's mostly a walking sim having you going room to room doing menial security related tasks, occasionally needing to find items and towards the end you must solve good puzzles and engage in a chase sequence which decides which of the game's two endings you get.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Some players appreciate the potential for collecting humorous cards featuring funny images, suggesting a lighthearted aspect amidst the game's darker themes.
