Short description
First-person psychological horror about ignorance and attempts. Protect yourself as a lone carpenter, hastily look for materials in your house to board up a door that shouldn’t exist. At any cost.
About this game
Protect yourself as long as you must in Box of Broken Nails - a surreal horror experience. Use your hammer and nails to board up an unknown door with something breaking out. Find resources around your house and nail down planks in time. Don't let it open. No matter what. There is only this one note, it reads: "Since I started living here alone, the nights felt endless. I barely remember if my halls have been this way before. Lately I hear the sounds of my work from behind the walls. The plates are shattering over and over again. I’m just making things up again, am I not? There was never anything wrong with... And even if, it changes nothing — what matters is that I simply must continue and make, make… ...Make it go away." Game features No text notes, no audio logs. The story unfolds through the gameplay itself and what it evokes in you. A stressful game loop that changes over time. An unexpected turn of events. Only one outcome. Box of Broken Nails contains flashing lights, strong camera shaking, and intentional visual distortion effects. Please use caution if you are affected by flashing or rapidly moving visuals.
