Tag After School

Game information

Tag After School is a mobile horror game set in a deserted school environment. The player controls a high school student exploring empty hallways, classrooms, and storage areas after hours. The main goal is to uncover the reason behind the strange events taking place, while avoiding threats and solving environmental puzzles. The game uses third-person perspective and limited lighting to create a sense of restriction and caution during movement.

Mechanics and Interaction

The player interacts with various objects in the environment, including doors, notes, lockers, and hidden compartments. Some items trigger events or cutscenes, while others are required to unlock new areas. Threats appear in the form of shadowy figures or sudden environmental changes, requiring the player to escape, hide, or stay still. Audio cues, such as footsteps or door creaks, provide hints about nearby dangers. Progress depends on both exploration and reacting quickly to unexpected situations.

Structure and Style

Tag After School is designed around short, focused segments that build tension through repetition and variation. Each segment increases in difficulty by introducing new threats or changing familiar areas. The story is revealed gradually through discovered notes, visual clues, and brief character interactions. Although the game is linear, hidden objects and optional paths allow for some variety in how players move through the experience. The visual design leans on contrast and shadow, reinforcing the atmosphere without using overly complex graphics.
