ROOM 407: THE LAST SHIFT

A short first-person psychological horror game made with Godot 4.7.1 and GDScript. A student covering a night shift enters a condemned apartment block after a call points to a floor that should have been sealed for years.

Release and Download

The intended public player package is the Windows x64 portable ZIP on GitHub Release v0.9.0. The release contract is:

Item	Link or value
Windows x64 portable ZIP	room-407-the-last-shift-windows-x86_64-v0.9.0.zip
SHA-256 record	room-407-the-last-shift-windows-x86_64-v0.9.0-SHA256SUMS.txt
Format	Extract-first portable ZIP; not an installer
Signing	Unsigned; Windows SmartScreen may warn

Only treat the assets as available when they appear on the release page. Download both files from that page, verify the ZIP checksum, extract the whole archive, then launch ROOM_407_THE_LAST_SHIFT.exe. Do not run it inside the ZIP. The complete PowerShell verification, SmartScreen, control, and support guidance is in Release v0.9.0.

Important boundary: the export verifier checks x64 architecture, notices, and a headless startup. No human physical or perceptual playtest is recorded; input feel, rendered brightness, audio mix, fullscreen, chase fairness, and target-hardware behavior remain owner-accepted risks. The game, UI, subtitles, and voice are English; the Vietnamese guide is documentation only. See PDR-07 and Limitations for the accepted-risk disposition.

Quick Start from Source

Requirements: Godot Engine 4.7.1 standard (not .NET), a Compatibility/OpenGL-capable renderer, and PowerShell on Windows or Docker Engine for the headless suite.

git clone https://github.com/JasonTM17/Horror_Game_Funny.git
Set-Location .\Horror_Game_Funny
godot --headless --path . --editor --quit
godot --path .

For the GUI path, import project.godot in the Godot Project Manager and press F5. F6 runs the current editor scene and can bypass the boot menu. See the deployment guide for explicit Godot, export, and QA commands.

Controls

Action	Input
Move	W, A, S, D
Look	Mouse
Sprint	Shift
Interact	E
Flashlight	F
Review objective	Tab
Pause / settings	Escape

Settings cover mouse sensitivity, field of view, audio, fullscreen, and comfort effects. Checkpoints are process-local; settings can be saved to user://room407.cfg.

Gameplay

• One continuous lobby-to-credits route: blackout floor, memory loop, Room 407, chase, abandoned-lobby reveal, and credits.
• Guarded phone, logbook, fuse, memory, radio, Room 407, chase, and ending progression.
• A NavigationRegion3D chase with APPEAR, STALK, CHASE, bounded SEARCH, and recovery behavior. Player walk is 2.0, enemy chase is 3.0, and sprint is 3.1 units/s.
• Fixed, pause-safe scare sequences with temporary actor, light, and audio ownership.
• English manifest-backed narration, procedural SFX, a pause-aware Voice bus, and in-game Settings/comfort controls.

The intended first-run duration is 15-20 minutes, but no recorded physical playthrough or same-run pacing payload verifies that target. See Limitations.

Visual Reference Tour

The following material is a staged documentation tour, not a player-driven recording. It shows selected rendered states only and is not evidence for traversal, pacing, fairness, audio, Settings, fullscreen, pixel determinism, or behavior on other hardware.

The PNGs are deterministic display derivatives of reviewed staged captures; ImageMagick lifts RGB midtones/shadows with -channel RGB -evaluate Pow 0.55 +channel -strip without adding or removing scene content. The GIF is a finite derived montage. Capture procedure, limits, and provenance are documented in Testing and Asset credits.

Automated Verification

Run all twelve headless Godot checks on Windows:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\tests\run-headless-tests.ps1

Or run the same suite in the container:

docker compose build suite
docker compose run --rm suite

Structural packaging and documentation checks do not require Docker:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\tests\verify-docker-packaging.ps1
python tests/verify-repository-docs.py

The suite has exactly twelve named checks: editor-import, menu, gameplay, game-state, progression, checkpoint-layout, physical-route, player-input, visual-effects, settings-audio, settings-persistence-write, and settings-persistence-read. It tests contracts and selected production paths, not a human playthrough or perceptual quality. Assertion-level coverage and evidence boundaries are in Testing.

Container Packages

ghcr.io/jasontm17/horror-game-suite is the public headless CI/test package. It is not a player build and must never be used as the Windows game download.

docker pull ghcr.io/jasontm17/horror-game-suite:v0.9.0
docker run --rm ghcr.io/jasontm17/horror-game-suite:v0.9.0

The Docker Hub repository nguyenson1710/horror-game-suite is a dated legacy CI mirror; its latest tag is mutable and should not be used as durable release evidence. Use the GHCR tag/digest recorded by the corresponding CI publication when reproducibility matters.
