Overview

About this game

Within of Static is an episodic, first-person psychological horror anthology inspired by grounded, human fear.

Each episode tells a self-contained story based on those who claim to have lived through it.

Episode Two: Northgate Mall

You step into the role of Dylan Miller, a night security guard working a late shift at a partially closed shopping mall.

Your job is routine: monitor security cameras, stay in contact with the central office, and keep the place quiet until morning. But as the night progresses, small irregularities begin to surface — strange noises, missing signals, and figures that don’t belong.

As tension builds, Dylan is forced to question what’s really happening inside Northgate Mall… and whether he was ever meant to witness it.
