PORCHLIGHT — Nine Nights on Marigold Court

A top-down survival of nine authored nights on one suburban cul-de-sac, where light and noise are the two currencies. By day you scavenge your neighbors' houses — every forced door and siphoned tank rings a noise the dead can hear. By night you barricade the court and hold the porch, seeing only what your flashlight carves out of a genuinely dark street: real shadows behind every fence and car, silhouettes at the edge of the beam. Rescue four named neighbors, each with an ability and a story; face the Screamer, the Stalker and the big one; make it to the buses at the ninth dawn.
