After School is a horror game where you're the last one at school, so you decide to take the stairs because it's leg day. While the first half of the game sees you exploring one of the floors of the school for a few minutes, the game really picks up doing the middle stairs section. Akin to something straight out of an SCP fiction, the farther down the stairs you go, the more intense the sounds get, the lights go off, your breathing gets louder, the stairs seem to just never end, all culminating to the monster of the game scaring you back up the way you came. Upon escaping, you find out that you never really escaped.
This game was deceptively scary; it builds upon the atmosphere of just walking downstairs that it lulls you deeper and deeper into anticipation until playing off of that. While the chase may seem cliché, the first playthrough will definitely be enough to have you shaken for a bit. The beauty of it is that, because of it's length, the time investment compared to the reward feels justified entirely. For those astute players that take time to search the environment while being chased, you may even find some more of a puzzle to be uncovered through this game (and future games by SirCartaux!)
All in all, for a short horror game, After School does just enough to do what it wanted to do in its short runtime. The game doesn't overstay its welcome, and leaves breadcrumbs for the player to continue an ARG after it's completed
Played this on my Channel's Series called 3 SCARY GAMES! It's the 3rd game I played in the video starting at 18:04!
When I was younger, I found time After School being a fairly creepy experience, so it was a no brainer to try this game! I think overall I found myself pretty terrified with this game and the build up/suspense really did get me in the end. I do feel like there could of been a bit more setup/story to the game to really fully understand the ending. But overall thought it was a creepy experience!
Creepy and unsettling, quite literally from you're initial startup of exploring the school. Also nice reference to SCP-087 :D (2nd game I played at 5:06 )
This game was a weird one, but I did enjoy the atmosphere and vibes it was giving off. I also enjoyed the last scare, however, I think there's a bit that can be worked on about this game (I talked about it in 20:42). But overall, I would recommend this short horror game!
Game starts at 3:40. Genuinely wasn't it expecting to go the way it did. A disguise for the prize as I'd like to say. The ambiance really added to the experience and the ending Genuinely scared the life out of me. Best of love
Not gonna lie this game got some really good scares out of me for how short it was. especially considering it didn't have to use any heavy suspenseful sounds to purvey the mood. Great Job!

My playthrough:
The game looks simple yet the horror was subtle, though the jumpscare ruined it for me.
And no, I'm just an enjoyer. Not content creator(s).
Interesting game. Quite creepy. Lots of tension.

Solid game with a really spooky atmosphere.

Can be quite scary at times, though a short horror game. Playtime is around 5-7 minutes.

My thoughts on the game:
Overall, I enjoyed the experience. Great work! :)
Very nice game! I played and enjoyed it!
Pretty short and neat game, honestly. I wasn't expecting this to have the staircase in it and feel like 087!
I made a video. 1st game.
One of my favorite SCP 087 games!
A fun way to spend a few minutes! Gave me SCP vibes in the stairwell, and it got me embarassingly bad with one of the scares.
Nah this game was great dude. It scared me beyond beleif lmaooo
Heres a video I did on the game
