Night Delivery is a Horror Game by Chilla's Art.

A delivery person is doing the rounds, and has one more delivery to make before they can turn in for the night. It's to deliver five packages to five tenants of an apartment building, which appears to hold a dark secret regarding another tenant, Kohei. Better hop to it.

The game was released on July 4th, 2021.


Night Delivery contains examples of:

  • Always Night: The game happens over one night.
  • Apartment Complex of Horrors: The game is about a delivery person making their final deliveries of the day to an apartment building. Said apartment building is populated entirely by Jerkasses who may have bullied and killed a tenant named Kohei. Oh, and there's also a red alternate world of the apartment building.
  • Apocalyptic Log: It starts with a letter found in a dumpster from a tenant's parent. You find plenty more on the red side.
  • Cats Are Mean: The cat on the dumpster will swipe at you if you attempt to interact with it.
  • Fade to Black: Whenever you pick up a package, the screen does this. It fades back in to the truck closed.
  • Food as Bribe: You can placate the cat with a can of tuna. After that, you can open up the dumpster.
  • Four Is Death: Room 404 is Kohei's apartment. It's where his corpse is, and depending on the ending, the other tenants' as well.
  • Infinite Flashlight: Your flashlight always seems to be on, but it remains as bright as ever.
  • In the Hood: Michiru, the tenant at Room 401, wears a grey hoodie.
  • Jerkass: As it turns out, everyone in the Nakayoshi building is one, given their rudeness, selfishness, and cruel treatment of Kohei simply because of his disability. It's also heavily implied that at least some of them were complicit in his death in one way or another, especially the landlord, who is hinted to have murdered Kohei to mooch off of his welfare money.
  • Missing Child: When you open up the door of the tenant of room 202, the tenant's baby runs out. You have to track the baby down and bring it back to her.
  • Only Friend: Kohei's only companion in the apartment complex was Aikichi, a stray dog.
  • P.O.V. Cam: The game is viewed through the P.O.V. of a postal delivery worker.
  • Ring Menu: Your inventory is presented this way.
  • Suicide Dare: Written on top of the envelopes containing Kohei's mother's letters (untranslated in the English version), which explains why said letters were left unopened, as well as providing the most direct evidence that someone in the complex wanted Kohei dead.
  • Workplace Horror: You're just doing your job of delivering packages at night to a Japanese apartment complex, but soon start to uncover a twisted conspiracy involving all of the tenants that verges into the supernatural.
