COLD OPEN

Dead Air: Night Watch at Channel 9 puts you on the overnight security shift at a TV station. Everything comes to you through a grainy green night-vision feed, and your job is simple: keep watching until 6:00 AM.

Flip between six cameras by tapping them or swiping the picture: Studio A, Control, Corridor, Makeup, Weather and Lobby. Memorize every room. When something changes, such as a figure that was not there, a moved chair, or a strange screen, go to that camera, hit REPORT ANOMALY and pick what you saw: Intruder, Object Moved, Object Missing, Extra Object, Strange Image, Light Anomaly or Camera Fault.

Every anomaly you miss weakens the SIGNAL. If it hits zero, you go on air. Guess carelessly and wrong reports lock the button for a few seconds, so look closely before you call it. A running tally tracks your cleared and false reports through the night.
