Order 13: Warehouse Night Shift Turns Into Survival Horror

Order 13 reinvents the most routine job as a high-stakes battle for survival. Developed by Cybernetic Walrus and published by Oro Interactive, you step into the shoes of a lone night-shifter, wandering a sprawling, shadow-drenched warehouse. Forget office banter—your only comfort is a cat who’s as vulnerable as you are, and just as likely to be targeted by whatever lurks in the gloom.

Order 13 gameplay: player exploring dark warehouse with flashlight — Order 13 captures the dread with pitch-black aisles and a single, sputtering flashlight.

Your nightly grind: scavenge for the right items, fulfill orders, and keep your cat safe from lurking threats. Easy enough—until the lights flicker, the warehouse starts to feel alive, and you trip over something that definitely wasn’t there during orientation (hint: it’s a corpse). Each new section you unlock is darker, weirder, and loaded with greater dangers.

Resource management is everything: spend your paycheck not just on your own survival, but on snacks, toys, and even little hats for your furry sidekick. The bond between you and your cat adds real heart to the creeping dread, calling to mind classic human-pet duos like Will Smith and Sam in I Am Legend.

Order 13: suspenseful moment as shadowy figure appears in warehouse — Beneath the repetitive labor, something hunts in the shadows—keep both you and your cat alive.

Players are hooked: with an 88% positive Steam rating from over 650 reviewers, fans praise the suffocating atmosphere and the surprisingly addictive loop. Some warn of monotony, but Order 13’s tight, three-hour campaign keeps things tense and focused, dodging the drag that plagues other horror sims.

Order 13: deeper, hidden warehouse levels revealed — Progress reveals even creepier secrets—and greater threats—in the warehouse depths.

With its blend of everyday tedium and mounting terror, Order 13 stands out in both the sim and horror genres. Its unique setup and emotional stakes make it a must-try, especially with a free demo and robust language support. Just don’t be surprised if you start eyeing your next delivery with suspicion.

TL;DR: Order 13 is a lean, nerve-shredding sim-horror mashup: pick orders, protect your cat, and don’t get caught by what’s lurking in the aisles. With strong reviews and a free demo, it’s a 2025 must-play for anyone who likes their horror with a slice of real-world anxiety.
