Supernatural Furniture Assembly: Horror Job Simulator Set in IKEA-Style Store

Stockroom Syndrome combines furniture assembly mechanics with survival horror as players work the night shift at a Scandinavian furniture superstore haunted by demonic entities and supernatural phenomena. The game features procedurally generated layouts that shift between shifts, challenging players to complete job tasks while avoiding or surviving encounters with various monsters and anomalies. Building flatpack furniture and decorating showrooms form the core gameplay loop, with supernatural threats gradually escalating the difficulty throughout an extended campaign.

Stockroom Syndrome merges two seemingly incompatible genres by pairing mundane workplace tasks with atmospheric horror elements. Players navigate a procedurally shifting furniture megastore during overnight shifts, where their job responsibilities—assembling flatpack items and staging display rooms—must be completed despite escalating supernatural interference. The environment itself becomes hostile, with phenomena ranging from structural anomalies to hostile entities that grow increasingly threatening as the campaign progresses.

The game demonstrates how indie horror developers continue expanding the genre beyond traditional haunted houses and survival scenarios. By grounding terror in an everyday commercial setting and tethering it to specific mechanical tasks, Stockroom Syndrome offers a fresh approach to survival mechanics that ties gameplay objectives directly to environmental threats.
