ARMAG, in partnership with Two Cakes Studio, has unveiled a new trailer for TIC-TAC: Twelve o’clock, showcasing new mechanics, enemies, and a deeper look into the haunted corridors of Bluebird High School. The video also delves into the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the students, reinforcing the eerie atmosphere of a survival horror inspired by the cult classics of the early 1990s. The game is scheduled for release in 2026 and already features a playable demo available on Steam and Nintendo Switch, as well as store pages on all major platforms ( Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch).

The story begins after the mysterious disappearance of several students, an event that leads the police to abruptly shut down the school without offering any explanation. Determined to uncover the truth, four friends decide to investigate on their own. One of them sneaks into the building and makes his way to the security room in search of clues, unaware that the true nightmare is about to begin.

When the clock strikes midnight, the environment transforms. The school’s hallways distort, paranormal phenomena take shape, and vengeful spirits awaken to punish anyone who dares to trespass. The player must navigate this hostile and unpredictable setting, where every sound and movement can mean the difference between survival and death.

The main tool for facing the night is the security camera system. Through it, players can monitor rooms and hallways, identifying threats before they become deadly. Each entity has its own behavior and unique weakness, demanding constant observation and varied strategies to make it through the night.

Beyond the ghosts, there is another equally dangerous enemy: time. Keeping the generator running is essential for cameras, lights, and shutters to function properly. Neglecting the power supply means plunging into complete darkness, where horrors gain the upper hand. Every replaced fuse and every second of light become precious in the struggle for survival.

Constant tension defines the experience, combining a claustrophobic atmosphere with elements of surveillance and psychological horror. With each passing night, the sense of isolation deepens, challenging the player to observe, listen, and endure until dawn, a dawn that few will ever see.
