ORDER 13

About ORDER 13

ORDER 13 is an indie horror game by Cybernetic Walrus, published by Oro Interactive and Drillhounds, released on Steam and GOG for Windows on 10 March 2025. JanduSoft brought it to PS5 and to Xbox Series X|S and PC through the Xbox store on 6 March 2026.

You work alone at a remote fulfillment center. Each shift starts at your desk, where you review the incoming orders and print the pick slips, then you head into the warehouse with a flashlight and a handheld scanner to find each item by its rack letter and shelf number. Back at the packing table you box the items, tape the box, stick on the label and send it down the conveyor. The quota rises every night, and once you are certified the basement opens: a maze-like level where the risk and the pay are both higher.

The frightening part is the warehouse itself. It is vast and dark, creatures skitter across the floor, and a pale one stalks you between the racks. You have no weapons, only the light, so the store's advice is to move quickly and not linger. Aisles turn red and smeared with blood, and VICE's reviewer found it genuinely creepy, leaning more on sight and sound than on its few jumpscares. When you die you wake in a new, randomly built warehouse where events play out differently, so you can never quite learn what is coming.

There is no health bar. Instead a gauge in the corner tracks your cat, who waits in your small living room by the office, and your earnings go to food and toys for him as well as to scanner and tool upgrades. Let his happiness fall too low and you can lose him. Cybernetic Walrus puts a run at two to four hours, and you can keep working past the ending for as long as you keep up with the quota.

It suits players who like the job horror of Kiosk or The Mortuary Assistant, where ordinary work keeps sending you back into the dark, and anyone who liked hauling loot to a quota in Lethal Company but wants to do it alone. Reviewers wished for more kinds of monsters and more variety in the packing.

4. Bring the items back to the packing table: box them, tape the box, then stick on the label and ship it.

Tips

• Move quickly between the racks; the store warns that lingering in the dark is dangerous.
• Read the shelf codes on the slips before you leave the desk so you know which aisle to head for.
• Watch the cat gauge in the corner of the screen: it is the game's real health bar, and toys and food keep it up.
• Put early money into scanner and tool upgrades that make each trip shorter.
• At the packing table, tape the box before you put the sticker on.
• After a death the warehouse is built anew, so do not count on events repeating.
