Released on itch.io as part of the episodic series Unseen, Red Margins is a short first-person psychological horror title built around a simulation of mundane retail work. The player takes the role of a copy shop employee handling a queue of customers and their print jobs. The core loop involves receiving clients at the counter, inspecting the photos or documents they bring in, and processing each order. As the shift progresses, the clientele and the contents of their requests gradually drift away from the ordinary, and the routine begins to break down. The game uses a contained single-location setting and a linear narrative structure rather than open exploration. The title is aimed at players who follow short-form narrative horror in the vein of shift-based or workplace horror games, where repetition of a mundane task is used to build unease. It resembles works like The Exit 8 or Iron Lung in its use of a confined setting and a single occupational role. Developed by an independent creator and distributed free on itch.io. A related entry in the same Unseen series, titled Unseen: Someone, is listed separately on Steam.See the original on the store ↗
