About Site Burial
Site Burial is a short psychological horror visual novel set inside a research institute that has just triggered its own killswitch. You play a newly hired researcher who somehow survives the Site Burial protocol, along with Jonah, a stranger you can't quite place. Over five days underground you decide how far to trust him, and that decides which of the three endings you reach.
Inside Site Burial
Why Site Burial Feels Different From Other Horror Games
Most horror visual novels build up to the disaster. Site Burial starts after it — the facility is already sealed, and the threat is the one person sharing it with you.
- The emergency is declared in the opening scenes; the story is about what is left afterwards.
- One other character, Jonah, carries the cast — every scene is about reading him.
- Around 6,000 words and roughly 30 minutes, made in one month for the Spooktober Jam 2026.
- Three endings, decided by how you treat Jonah rather than by a visible stat.
- Red-on-black art and a terminal-style font, inspired by SCP, Limbus Company and The Magnus Archives.
How To Play Site Burial?
Read Jonah's lines twice. The game is about what he leaves out.
- Press Play Now and click through the last ordinary day at the Institute.
- Click or press Space to advance; the small menu along the bottom handles history, skip, save and load.
- When two options appear — often about what you give Jonah — pick the one that matches how far you trust him.
- Save at the start of each day so you can come back and chase the other endings.
- The game contains flashing imagery; lower your screen brightness if that bothers you.
Who Will Enjoy Site Burial?
- Players who prefer slow, atmospheric dread over constant jump scares.
- Fans of SCP-style containment stories and sealed facility settings.
- Anyone who wants a complete horror visual novel in about half an hour.
- Readers who liked the one-on-one tension of The Freak Circus but want it shorter and colder.
- If you like stories where the scariest thing in the room is the only other person, this one's for you.
Can You Trust the Stranger Who Survived With You?
Site Burial never tells you outright what Jonah is. The tension comes from spending five days with someone who answers a little too smoothly, inside a building designed to make sure nobody leaves.
Play it once without overthinking, then go back. With three endings and a 30-minute run, the second and third passes are where the small details start to line up.
Wake up underground, count the days, and decide whether he gets the last provision.
