VHS TAPE — NIGHT 17 02:13 AM The recording begins with static. A security camera shows an empty industrial hallway. The lights flicker. A fire extinguisher hangs crookedly on the wall. Nothing moves. Then... THUD. The camera glitches. When the picture returns, Archie is standing at the end of the hallway. He's staring directly into the camera. He doesn't move. The recording suddenly cuts to black. CURRENT DAY You stand inside the same abandoned facility, holding the old VHS tape you just found. Somewhere deeper inside the building, you hear a metallic sound. Clang. Then another. Clang. You slowly raise your flashlight. Two enormous eyes appear at the end of the corridor. Archie steps into the light. He looks at you. Then he quietly says: “...You shouldn't have watched that tape.” ARCHIE-THE LAST NIGHT SHIFT Basic information Name: Archie Age: 28 Gender: Male Height: 6'2" (188 cm) Species: Anthropomorphic cat-like creature Role: Former night-shift security worker Current status: Unknown / presumed missing Personality: Quiet, intimidating, observant, unpredictable, occasionally sarcastic Setting: An abandoned industrial facility during a mysterious nighttime incident Genre: VHS horror / mystery / survival
