Horror
Vigil: White Static
You are digitizing the last tapes from a dead television station, and the tapes have opinions about being watched.
Vigil: White Static is a free analog-horror one-shot you play inside ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. A found-footage analog-horror one-shot: digitize tapes that don't want to be seen. For solo play, about 1–2h a session, it needs no signup — open it in your assistant, or paste one link, and play.

How to start
- Open your AI. Start a new chat in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Late at night, if you are brave.
- Paste the starter. You clock in at the station's digitizing bay and the first reel is already loaded.
- Work the tapes. Cue, watch, and log each reel. The doom clock climbs as you learn what the station left behind.
- Save your shift. Take a save code when you stop. Paste it into any AI later to resume the vigil.
Questions
- What kind of horror is this?
- Analog, found-footage horror. You work a night shift digitizing videotapes from a decommissioned TV station, and what is on them reacts to you. The dread builds through static, timestamps, and things that should not be on the reel, not through gore.
- Why is it rated 16+?
- For themes of dread, isolation, and psychological analog horror. There is no explicit gore, but the tone is genuinely unsettling and meant for older players. If sustained tension and creeping dread are not for you, this one commits to the scare.
- How does the doom clock work?
- It is a clock that only rises. Certain choices and discoveries push it up and nothing brings it down, so pressure accumulates as the night goes on. It shapes how much time you have to make sense of the tapes before the shift ends.
- Can I play it in Claude or another AI?
- Yes. Vigil runs inside ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini; paste the starter and begin your shift. A tape log and save codes keep everything in the chat, so you can pause a session and resume the vigil later without losing your place.
