MAHI HARDWARE ⚠ PUBLIC ALPHA // ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT CLOCK IN EARLY. Put The Stock Down is currently in Public Alpha.

JOIN THE DISCORD Report bugs • Suggest features • Give feedback • Follow development CLOCK IN TO THE DISCORD Thank you for supporting development. Management appreciates your unpaid overtime. WELCOME, TEAM MEMBER ANOTHER DAY AT MAHI. The pay isn't great. The customers need help. And the shelves aren't going to stock themselves. But at least the store closes at night. ... You're still inside. MAHI HARDWARE // STAFF INFORMATION YOUR SHIFT During business hours, all team members are expected to complete assigned duties and maintain excellent customer service standards. Failure to complete assigned work may result in disciplinary action. ☀ DURING BUSINESS HOURS It's just another shift. Clock in. Complete your jobs. Stock shelves. Clean spills. Help customers. Explore the departments and gather whatever you think might be useful later. You don't have to do your job. Management notices these things. ● AFTER CLOSING Your coworkers aren't going home. When the lights change, so do the employees. The people who peacefully wandered the aisles beside you during the day are now looking for you. Use whatever you collected during your shift. BARRICADE. BUILD. CRAFT. HIDE. RUN. Do whatever you need to do. Just make it until morning. ⚠ MAHI HARDWARE // STAFF NOTICE Team members are reminded that remaining inside the store after closing is prohibited. If you encounter another employee after closing, do not approach them. Management accepts no responsibility for incidents occurring outside scheduled working hours. EMPLOYEE WELLBEING SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS PLACE. Or maybe something is wrong with you. You could swear that chair just moved. Was that writing always on the wall? Was someone standing at the end of that aisle? ... You look again. Nothing. MAHI HARDWARE REMINDER Everything is normal. There is no cause for concern. Please continue working. The longer you survive, the harder it becomes to trust what you're seeing. Your state of mind changes the way you experience the store. Things may appear that aren't there. Things that are there may not stay where you left them. Some things disappear when approached. Some don't. YOUR TRUSTY WORK PHONE Messages. Camera. Torch. Notes. Work. Everything a Mahi Hardware team member needs for another productive shift. Keep it close. BUILD. CRAFT. SURVIVE. You're trapped inside a hardware store. Fortunately, hardware stores contain quite a lot of hardware. Scavenge the departments for supplies. Build somewhere safe. Reinforce your shelter and turn ordinary products into improvised tools, defences and traps. A rake lying on the floor might look stupid. Until somebody steps on it. MAHI HARDWARE // EMPLOYEE BENEFITS An enormous hardware store to explore Daily retail jobs that definitely need doing Employees with questionable after-hours behaviour Scavenging, crafting and improvised traps Base building and barricading A changing psychological experience Multiple endings to discover Absolutely no overtime pay ⚠ INTERNAL NOTICE Team members are asked to stop reporting aisles that do not appear on the store map.
