Night Owls
A downloadable VM Game for Windows and macOS
In 2004, Serenity Scott was a sophomore at Mercer University, studying anthropology and computational science. Investigators say she engaged in frequent online conversations with an unidentified individual that went by the psuedonym "hoot83", whose identity has never been verified.
Serenity Scott was last seen on October 22nd, 2004. To this day, her whereabouts are unknown. No evidence suggests there was foul play.
Night Owls is a ~20 min unsettling narrative that marks the 20-year anniversary of the disappearance of a 20-year-old woman.

The unassuming beginning really made the last part of the game hair-pulling creepy. This was so good! We never got to see the monster (really), but the feeling of something being there alone was the scariest. I especially loved using the eye/brow expressions for serenity; Devinne, you are really, really talented. Also thanks for having a mac build!!
ahh Thank you so much for the kind words <3. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I develop most of my games on my mac so I definitely understand the feeling when there isn't a mac build!
I've decided this is worth a second play to see the other outcome!
Thank you for the compliment and the replay!
Ahhh, this was so creepy!! Amazing story-telling
Thank you for playing, and thank you for the compliments!
This is so good, felt like an interactive episode of the twilight zone. Loved the dialogue and the way it ramped up consistently throughout the game. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Thank you so much for the compliments, and thank you for playing!!
This was fantastic. I really wish there was an easier way to go back and try different decisions after completing the game.
Thank you for playing, and thank you for the feedback!
