—Even the most familiar halls seem foreign once you are left in them alone. The sounds, smells, lighting, all seem recognizable, but wrong... or maybe its something else? dive in, test your courage and learn the truth in this unique short single player experience.

This shift is a one off. You don't usually work weekends but the pay is good, and before you know it the front door is locked behind you and dim buzzing halls stretch before you. so you walk forwards... your shift finishes at 07:30, just sit in the lounge and watch the TV like normal right?
Vended is a First Person single player horror experience.
set inside what seems to be a school.. empty, strangely furnished and with an illogical layout. You, the protagonist have to endure peculiar tasks and puzzles in order to escape.
Armed with a flashlight, keys, spare bulbs and batteries you have to do what you can to avoid danger, whilst the danger is actively seeking you out, hide in the locked rooms, and beware what awaits in the halls.
during your shift you will have to maintain the building in order to give yourself the best chances possible. Along the way you can find hints on how to find what you need to escape as well as clues about what went wrong here, and why you are being unrelentingly hunted by a big clattering box of snacks.
after your shift is up, make your way to the exit, unlock the door and run to your mummy, you have survived.
so good luck, it wont be easy!
Welcome To Vended! I made this game as a challenge to myself. "Could I make a vending machine scary?". sounds weird but this thought didn't come out of nowhere. The idea came to me after hearing a strange statistic: "Vending machines take more human lives per year than sharks do."
now that seems ridiculous at first, sharks are apex predators, fast and powerful, with jagged rows of BRUTAL teeth. and a vending machine... just sits there and offers food to passers by.... or does it???? Yes it does. but I thought maybe I could create a game where this high body count is clearly justified.
And I was right! I made a game where a vending machine is undoubtedly more LETHAL than a great white shark.
if you want to learn more then don't hesitate to check out my YouTube and Discord channel
or of course, play the game! Thanks for reading, and have a nice day :)
