01The story

Night Fare is a short first-person horror game set in 90s Greece. You spend most of it behind the eyes of someone who just wanted to get home from the club.

A run takes about 5 to 10 minutes, so it's built for one sitting, or for a stream. There are a few endings. The original was inspired by a true story, which is half of why it gets under people's skin.

Prefer a plain .zip? Grab the zip mirror instead ·

The installer is a normal setup wizard; click through and it puts the game in one folder for you. Windows may show a SmartScreen warning because the installer is new and unsigned. That's caution about an unknown file, not a problem with this one. Content warning: flashing lights and stalking themes.

06Questions people actually ask

Is it really free? What's the catch?

Really free. The Director's Cut is a thank-you to everyone who played the original. There's no launcher and no account, and I'm not signing you up for a newsletter.

How long is it?

5 to 10 minutes per run. There are multiple endings, so a "full clear" is closer to half an hour if you go looking for them.

Can I stream / make videos of it?

Please do. That's how most people found the game in the first place, and monetization is fine. Send me a link to your VOD and I'll put my favorites up on the page.

Why an installer and not a single exe?

The Director's Cut ships with uncompressed audio, so it's a bit chunky. The setup wizard unpacks everything into one folder. It doesn't touch the registry, and deleting that folder removes the game completely.

Is this the same game as v1.2?

Same game, plus the bonus ending, the extended ride, and the audio and lighting pass. Your v1.2 saves carry over if you drop them into the new install.
