Utilities Included

The listing had everything you needed. Cheap. Furnished. Utilities included.

You take the basement, sign the lease on the kitchen table, and try to move forward.

Something is wrong with the air down here.

In the corner of the hall. At the far end of a dark room. They are gone the moment you look, gone the moment you reach the light. You tell yourself it is the exhaustion. The drink. The grief. The pills the doctor gave you. There is always a reason.

Utilities Included is a first-person psychological horror game about the things you almost see, and how easy it is to explain them away. Keep yourself fed. Keep the rent covered. Try to remember why you are always so tired.
