STILLHOUR
Everything looks normal. Nothing is normal.
Free liminal-space horror game. An empty hotel at 3:17 AM that rearranges itself when you are not looking, and a pool below it. First person, no download.
Empty places that feel familiar, and wrong.
A liminal space is a place built for passing through — a hotel corridor, an empty mall, a swimming pool after hours — seen when nobody is passing through it. The feeling is specific: you have been somewhere exactly like this, and something about being here now is wrong. These four games are built around that feeling rather than around a monster, and all of them run in the browser with no download.

STILLHOUR is the one made for it. A hotel at 3:17 in the morning, lit and clean and ready for a guest, with music from a floor you are not on and a card at the front desk that already knows your name. Everything in it looks normal. It is not: the building rearranges itself whenever you are not looking, a corridor is longer when you come back out of a room, and a door that opened onto one room opens onto another. Below it is a bright indoor pool with perfectly still water and daylight in the windows. It is an original game, not a Backrooms game, though people who like that corner of the internet tend to find it.
VACATED: The Mall is the dead mall — a 1990s shopping centre evacuated the Saturday before Christmas 1998 and never reopened, dinners still on the trays in the food court. It is the one with a mystery to solve and people to avoid: you photograph what happened while two security guards walk their rounds.
The Showroom is the smallest and the strangest: a residential cul-de-sac built indoors, inside a warehouse, with astroturf lawns, a painted sky wall and foam clouds hanging on wires. Nothing hunts you there. Tranquility is the loneliest: a domed moon base with everyone gone, lockers to solve and an airlock to cycle, and a walk across grey regolith to a lander on a clock.
Start with STILLHOUR if you want the feeling at full strength, VACATED if you want a story to piece together, The Showroom if you have ten minutes, and Tranquility if you would rather be alone on the Moon than in a building.
