The Magnet: First Night

The Magnet: First Night is a visual novel and point-and-click game, situated in a dark and terrifying post-apocalyptic world.

The Magnet: First Night Game Story

Players will accompany Teddy, a young girl struggling to survive in a devastated world after mysterious creatures called Horrors appeared and massacred humans for no apparent reason. They do not hunt for food or seek resources—their sole purpose is to kill. These entities have a deformed appearance, as if randomly assembled by an evil god from the fragments of living bodies.

Teddy's life is a long, endless run, where the darkness of the night becomes her only ally. Horrors cannot see in the dark, but when the light appears, they turn into unstoppable hunters.

First Night is the first chapter, taking players on Teddy's first night as she finds an abandoned building—the last refuge in a city filled with danger.

Gameplay

Atmosphere

The game creates a heavy, oppressive atmosphere where silence reigns and fear lurks. Teddy must not only survive the horrors but also grapple with memories of her old life—things she must forget in order to continue living.

The First Night

• Find shelter before the sun rises.
• Explore a dilapidated building filled with trash, stench, and remnants of her old life.
• Confront painful memories of her family and past before the world collapsed.
• Keep calm while horrors lurk outside, ready to pounce at any moment.

Psychological Highlights

One of The Magnet's greatest strengths is the way it portrays loneliness and loss. Teddy frequently breaks the silence with monologues—a habit that keeps her sane. Fragments of memories of candy and an old chair flash by, then fade away, like things she must forget to survive.

Horrors

These mysterious creatures are a constant threat in the game. They:

• Active during the day.
• Move at lightning speed, unable to escape if detected.
• He is blind in the dark but possesses an abnormally sensitive sense of hearing.
• Disfigured, with extra parts that look like they were spliced ​​together from different creatures.

Experience

The Magnet: First Night is a dark, slow-paced, tense experience where silence is the most terrifying weapon. The game does not need jumpscares or fast-paced action but instead lets the fear seep through the silence and the internal monologues that suffocate the player. You can check out our other new game This House Eats People.
