GAME OVERVIEW
Within Static doesn’t lean on ghosts or monsters for its scares. Instead, it digs into the kind of fear that feels real—the kind people actually live through.
Each episode in this anthology stands alone, supposedly drawn from stories told by those who experienced these unsettling events firsthand.
The game’s got this old-school VHS look and realistic settings that make everything feel heavy and claustrophobic. It’s all about slow-burn tension, like you’re watching found footage that was never meant to be seen. New Heights: Realistic Climbing and Bouldering

Take Episode Two: Northgate Mall. Here, you’re Dylan Miller, a night guard stuck watching over a half-shuttered shopping mall. At first, it’s just the usual boring stuff—keeping an eye on glitchy security cameras, radioing the office, wandering empty halls. But as the night drags on, the place shifts.
What felt familiar turns strange and off. Little things start piling up: broken signals, weird noises, shadows that shouldn’t be there in a building that’s supposed to be locked tight.
Gameplay keeps you grounded in the moment. It’s a narrative-driven walking sim, so you’re right there in Dylan’s shoes, poking around, texting other characters on your in-game phone, and dealing with whatever comes your way. There’s a twist, too: the game listens to your real-world microphone.
If you make a sound, it can ramp up the tension or even change what happens to Dylan. The whole thing is meant to be played in one go—a short, sharp shot of dread.
And by the end, you’re left with that uncomfortable feeling that some things you see in the dark stick with you, no matter how much you want to forget them.
