Bin Night

Bin Night

The driveway has never felt this long. Step into the dark at your own risk.

👁️ The Nightmare on the Front Porch

Made in just a few days for the Holmesglen Game Jam, July 2026,  "Lights Out" prompt, this short horror experience turns a simple chore into a battle against the dark.

You are a kid terrified of the dark. Your only safety is the glowing motion-sensor light on the front porch. You have to take the garbage bag to the curb, but the sensor light could go out at any moment.

 There is just one huge problem: the more you panic and sprint, the faster your cheap trash bag rips open! Can you balance your speed and survival, or will you be left alone in the dark surrounded by garbage?
