The Developer Says...

Within of Static is an episodic, first-person psychological horror anthology inspired by grounded, human fear.
Each episode tells a self-contained story based on those who claim to have lived through it.

Episode One: Ashburg Rental

In this episode, you follow Riley Adams, a newly graduated teacher who moves to the quiet town of Ashburg after accepting her first full-time job.
While settling in, she rents a small house to get her life in order…
…but the place was never truly empty.

What begins as a calm, rainy night slowly twists into something far more unsettling — as Riley realizes she is not as alone as she thought.
