Games Like Excav: Night Shift

You are a freelance investigative journalist following a string of unnerving reports: employees of Excav—a private research and excavation company—have been disappearing, failing to show up for work with no explanations, no calls, and no bodies. Your journey begins on a lonely forest roadside, leading you into the isolated security outpost overlooking the dig. The lights are still on. The office still functioning. But the staff… are gone.

The site was abandoned only hours before your arrival. And something is still roaming the halls.

A Slow-Burning Descent Into the Unknown

As you investigate the empty facility, the truth behind the excavation begins to surface. Strange audio logs hint at rising paranoia. Security robots continue their patrols without orders. A cheerful rabbit-themed animatronic stalks the shadows. And deep within the facility drifts something far older — a floating skull entity tied to the core mystery of the dig.

Every step pushes you deeper into a puzzle of corporate secrecy, missing workers, and a discovery that should never have been unearthed.
