About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
Welcome to Desal
You were just passing through.
A quiet road. A small café. A quick stop for food.
Then your card gets declined.
Now you owe them.
Welcome to Desal is a short psychological horror experience where an ordinary job slowly turns into something deeply unsettling. Forced to work off your debt, you take on simple café tasks-serving customers, cleaning, and following orders-but something about this place isn’t right.
Strange conversations echo through the walls at night. Employees act like they’re hiding something. Customers don’t always behave… normally.
And no matter what you do, leaving doesn’t seem to be an option.
Key Features:
- Immersive Job Simulation
Perform everyday café tasks that gradually become tense and uncomfortable.
- Psychological Horror
No cheap jumpscares-just slow-building dread, subtle storytelling, and a constant feeling that something is wrong.
- Dynamic Storytelling
Overhear conversations, notice details, and piece together the truth behind Desal.
- Player Choice & Dialogue
Decide what to say-and what to hide-as others begin to suspect what you know.
What’s Really Going On?
The longer you stay, the more questions you’ll have:
Why doesn’t anyone talk about what happens at night?
Who was behind the wall?
Why won’t your car start?
And why does it feel like you were never meant to leave?
Sometimes, the scariest thing isn’t being trapped somewhere.
It’s realizing you might already belong there.
