What is My Night Job?

You take a night job in a monster-infested mansion in this 2D action game. You escort survivors to safety, fight with household objects, chainsaws, and shotguns, and keep monsters from destroying rooms. Runs grow harder over time and end if your health runs out or too much of the mansion is wrecked.

For you if...

+you chase high scores through increasingly difficult runs
+you like eighties horror mixed with dark humor

Not for you if...

−you want a slow-paced game with little multitasking
