About The Night Jackals Vol. 1
In this psychological thriller, we follow the fate of Sara, who becomes the target of a serial killer with a penchant for surveillance. The chilling twist? The killer constantly observes her and transmits these unsettling observations directly to the player through their in-game smartphone. Picture yourself peering into your phone, only to discover that someone is stalking your every move through the security camera. What sets "Night Jakal" apart is its bold exploration of contemporary fears surrounding technology and privacy.
Beyond that, "The Night Jakals Vol.1" serves as a response to the growing interest in themes related to serial killers and cults. In today's era, we've witnessed a significant surge in the production of both fictional and documentary series dedicated to these compelling subjects. The game mirrors this societal fascination, immersing players in a world of psychological thrills where technology and privacy become pivotal elements of the narrative. Step into the shoes of Sara and navigate the intricate web of a digital age thriller that pushes the boundaries of gaming storytelling.
Gameplay Mechanics:
Explore unique interactive elements, such as participating in an organized Escape Room, where players solve puzzles to progress through subsequent stages of the game. During this experience, players will also utilize the surveillance camera feature from the serial killer, designed not only to provide clues but also to evoke tension and a sense of imminent threat. The integration of this mechanic adds depth to the gameplay, requiring players to skillfully balance puzzle-solving in the Escape Room. Can you navigate through these challenges and unravel the mystery while staying one step ahead of the elusive Stalker? This is the question posed in this captivating psychological thriller.
Story Development
The ability to revisit any level in the game allows for a profound immersion into the serialized structure of the gameplay. New episodes are continuously added during updates, introducing changes to the previous ones, encouraging regular returns, and exploring fresh content. "The Night Jackals" is not just a game; it's an engaging experience that continually evolves during Early Access and after. Can you unravel the mystery of the serial killer, utilizing subtle clues?

Mature Content
I also wanted to share with you a few key elements of my game so that you know what to expect.
No Sexual Themes:
In "The Night Jackals," I place immense importance on player comfort. Therefore, I want to emphasize that you will not find any sexual themes in the game. Our story focuses on thrilling mysteries, intrigues, and characters, steering clear of unnecessary content.
Violence and Realism:
The game includes scenes with blood, bodies, and occasional violence. However, our priority is to present these elements in moderation, not crossing boundaries and providing an exciting yet balanced experience.
Character Language:
Sara, the main character, uses strong language, but it is always in the context of the situation she finds herself in. We aim to maintain the authenticity of the character while respecting the boundaries and understanding of players.
Caution Regarding Alcohol and Drugs:
In later stages of the game, themes related to alcohol and drugs may emerge, but they will always be presented in the context of a health hazard. I neither promote nor glorify the use of psychoactive substances.
Feel free to embark on this journey with "The Night Jackals," where the narrative and emotions guide you through a unique adventure full of surprises and challenges.

A short introduction that needs to show more in next instalment. The gameplay is comparable to other horror walking simulators. You walk around to advance the story or look for clues in a location. Although the game is separated into three chapters, only the third one matters. The first part is a brief introduction in which you enter a store and buy cat food, while the second takes you on a trek through a dark forest with a flashlight. The main part has what you might expect from indie horror: exploring a dark house for a code and trying to get out. The creepy atmosphere is there, but the entire thing needs a bit more work. One of the issues is a bad flashlight. Looking at something close is impossible because the light disappears into objects. Another is the lack of hints. I spent minutes walking around the house without realizing I had to move to a certain spot to scare a cat. The game is also very short. The game works fine in it’s current state, but some early access issue are noticeable. There’s some wonky optimization, which demands heavy resources the game shouldn’t demand, some stuff clipping through walls or showing up as you walk, shadows not showing properly, people t…4 found this helpful
This game tuched me on my dih
I can't figure out the first code for my life. I have been at this number guessing game for over an hour now. I want to move on in the game, but I can't because idk the darn code, which was never really clearly given or hinted even in the beginning of the game. All I got were the location of the four keys on the number pad plus the 07 number. I have written down about 56 possible codes and none of them are it. Am I doing something wrong? This ruined the game for me.
