Your first days at the Institute were never supposed to end like this.
SITE BURIAL is a short psychological horror visual novel by Night Asobu and Zho. You are a newly hired research assistant at an underground facility that studies dangerous anomalies. After a catastrophic containment failure, you are injured, trapped, and dependent on the colleague who keeps coming back.
The horror in SITE BURIAL grows through conversation, uncertainty, and the pressure of running out. Jonah searches the ruined facility while you decide how to divide the supplies he brings. Every meal matters when two people need to survive on what remains.
With more than 6,000 words and three endings, SITE BURIAL is a compact story worth reading slowly. A first playthrough takes roughly half an hour, depending on your reading pace. You can leave the ending guides closed and let your first choices be your own.
02 / PERSONNEL FILE
Meet Jonah.
A familiar face.
An increasingly unfamiliar situation.
Jonah is your fellow survivor in SITE BURIAL. While your injury limits where you can go, he searches for provisions, checks damaged rooms, and returns with news of the facility outside.
Watch the pauses as closely as the reassurance. His willingness to help is clear; what he knows about the disaster is harder to read. SITE BURIAL gives you time to sit with that uncertainty, one conversation at a time.
Sharing supplies is also a way of caring for him. Before looking up a route, consider what each choice asks of both survivors.

Controls & playing tips Small choices.
Lasting consequences.
Think about both survivors.
In SITE BURIAL, search destinations affect what Jonah finds, while provision choices affect who receives help. Check what is actually available before allocating it: supplies found earlier may already have been used.
Keep another way back.
Use separate SITE BURIAL save slots before supply decisions. That makes a second run easier and lets you compare outcomes without repeating every conversation. Export a backup before clearing browser data.
04 / THE INSTITUTE
Containment comes first.
The Institute in SITE BURIAL is a workplace built around things that should not escape. Its procedures offer order, but little comfort when the facility itself becomes the trap.
The title refers to an emergency protocol. Discovering what that protocol means for the people underground is part of the opening story. Our SITE BURIAL wiki introduces the setting, then keeps the more revealing details behind the spoiler switch.
