Why it’s HorroRated
Side Hustle is an exceptionally confident piece of mundane horror, using the deadpan rhythms of retail work to build dread through what goes unspoken rather than what's shown. The carpet shop setting is original and Wastyr knows exactly how far to push the premise before letting the horror out. Highly recommended.
Synopsis
Side Hustle puts you behind the counter at Gary's Carpet Value, managing the daily operations of a small retail shop: opening up, keeping things tidy, and interacting with customers. Horror accumulates through the things people say about Gary and about what might be woven into those carpets. A first-person PSX-style short horror experience from developer Wastyr, free on itch.io.
