A new apartment. One tenant who thought his luck had finally changed. Something already inside.
Following the release of Dead Stop – No Vacancy, independent horror studio Camel 101 has announced Dead Stop – The Tenant, the second standalone episode in its anthology of short horror games.
The Tenant introduces a completely new story, protagonist, and location while retaining the short, focused format established by No Vacancy. Jonathan had spent months chasing listings that vanished overnight, landlords who never called back, and rents that seemed designed to keep people like him out.
Then, at last, he found it: a modest apartment in an old building, cheap enough to afford and decent enough to call home.
For the first time in years, Jonathan felt like life was finally giving him a break. He had a set of keys in his pocket, a roof over his head, and the chance to start over.
But some places are cheap for a reason. And life had other plans for its newest tenant.
Dead Stop – The Tenant is a short first-person psychological horror experience built around the familiar anxieties of moving into a new home. Everyday domestic routines gradually give way to disturbing messages, impossible changes to the apartment, and signs that Jonathan may not be its only occupant.
“After the roadside slasher atmosphere of No Vacancy, we wanted the second episode to explore a very different kind of fear,” said Ricardo Cesteiro, co-founder and producer at Camel 101. “The Tenant is about the discomfort of living somewhere that never truly feels like yours – and slowly realizing that the apartment may not want you there.”
