Make a tense, atmospheric survival-defense game: as the lone night nurse in a ruined hospital, hold back the darkness until dawn while a sleeping child depends on every choice you make.

- **Core gameplay:** Survive six escalating hours, each split into preparation and danger phases. Search abandoned wards for scarce supplies, then place salt lines, UV lamps, barricades, bells, medicine, and other improvised wards around the child’s room. Each defense has a cost, coverage limit, power requirement, or maintenance risk, forcing hard tradeoffs under pressure.
- **Threats and tension:** Aim a hand-held flashlight into unlit corridors to reveal approaching apparitions, silhouettes, and clues, while managing battery and resisting supernatural phenomena. Enemies should challenge different defenses: some cross salt, some extinguish lamps, some climb barricades, and some imitate familiar hospital sounds. Protect the child from room breaches, frightening events, and prolonged darkness.
- **Content and structure:** Create a compact replayable hospital map with a nursery, emergency ward, operating theater, chapel, basement, generator room, and connecting corridors. Escalate weather, outages, enemy variety, objectives, and moral choices across six hours. Tell the story through notes, intercom messages, bedside checks, and environmental details, with multiple endings based on safety, supplies, maintained wards, and final choices.
- **Controls and feedback:** Support keyboard/mouse and gamepad for movement, sprinting, flashlight aim, inspection, placement, repair, pickup, and child checks. Include a radial or quick-slot ward menu, readable range previews, pause-anytime planning, and strong audio-visual cues for power loss, nearby threats, and breaches.

Give it a proper indie-game feel with a consistent original art style suited to decayed medical spaces, supernatural dread, and fragile human warmth; include expressive animation, environmental motion, particles, lighting changes, restrained screen shake, and an original soundscape. Provide game-like title, pause, settings, accessibility, and results UI, plus a short first-play controls tutorial. Use English UI and text, support desktop keyboard/mouse/gamepad and landscape phone play, and make every character, visual asset, music cue, sound, and line of text entirely original with no licensed IP. Self-playtest the complete loop, fix broken interactions, difficulty spikes, unclear feedback, and soft-locks, then provide a polished playable preview.
