Stocked

Stocked is a first-person stealth horror game where players take on the role of Mia, a new employee working the late shift at a small grocery store called FoodMart. Developer name__show created the game for the Drop Bear Horror Jam 2, using classic PS1-style visuals to build a grim, nostalgic atmosphere that feels both retro and intense.

The story begins on what seems like a normal closing shift. Mia’s boss, Mr. Spencer, insists she stay late to restock the shelves. But when her coworker Jake doesn’t show up and his mother arrives earlier in tears, things begin to feel off. As Mia checks the dark aisles alone, the quiet store turns uneasy—rustling shelves, flickering lights, and the faint sound of a doorbell ringing where no one stands.

Instead of relying on lengthy dialogue or complicated mechanics, the game builds tension through simple tasks. Players explore the empty store, complete late-night duties, and use stealth to avoid danger that creeps among the aisles. Mastering the use of light and shadow is key to survival. Hiding, moving carefully, and reacting quickly create a short but intense horror experience designed to be finished in one sitting.

“Stocked” includes strong horror elements like flashing lights, sudden loud noises, and disturbing imagery. It’s recommended for players comfortable with blood, gore, and jump scares. The sound design and lighting play a major role in shaping the discomfort, while the low-resolution textures add to its eerie, old-school feel—like watching a late-night slasher movie come to life in pixel form.
