Gaslit Office
About Gaslit Office
Gaslit Office is an enigmatic point-and-click adventure game where an apparently typical workday abruptly becomes uncomfortable and unusual. As soon as you go into the well-known workplace, you will notice that every tiny detail causes you to doubt reality and whether or not what you are seeing is true.
A Workday… Or A Nightmare?
Gaslit Office starts off so normal that it seems boring. After a hard day, you play as a worn-out office worker going back to work. The ageing computer, the cluttered desk with papers, the printer clacking, everything looks to be the same. But after time, you begin to pick up on aspects that don't belong.
Did the clock on the wall just tick back a second? Did the family photo on your co-worker’s desk suddenly become unfamiliar? Did a scribbled note appear in the drawer you opened yesterday? The game never directly points out “Something’s wrong!”. Instead, it silently plants seeds of doubt in your mind. You don't know if you're going crazy, or if there's a conspiracy going on, or if the whole world is just an elaborate setup.

Not Just Horror, But A Spooky Parody
Gaslit Office is not only scary, but sometimes very… humorous. But this is not the obvious or cheap humor, but a subtle satire, mocking the boring office life. The absurd meetings, meaningless forms, or the feeling of being stuck in an endless work loop are all exaggerated into something strange, funny, and creepy.
Why Does Gaslit Office Stand Out?
What makes Gaslit Office special is its ability to turn a simple office space into a tense and mysterious environment. The game does not use the usual horror elements but instead uses psychological insecurity, keeping players in a state of suspicion and curiosity.
- Minimalist design: The game environment is designed simply but detailed, creating a sense of authenticity and easily making players feel insecure.
- Subtle story: The plot is told subtly, not directly but through small details, forcing players to deduce and feel for themselves.
- Multiple Endings: With six different endings, each playthrough offers a new experience, encouraging players to explore and learn more.
Experience the tension, mystery, and subtle humor for yourself by playing Gaslit Office and uncovering the secrets hidden in plain sight.
