The full story of Bluebird High School is revealed today as ARMAG and Two Cakes Studio join forces to launch this supernatural horror game on Steam.
TIC-TAC: Twelve o'clock is now officially available on Steam. This action-horror game, independently developed by Ukrainian developer ARMAG and published by Two Cakes Studio, builds on the momentum of its demo to further unravel the mysteries of Bluebird High School—a school closed after numerous students vanished without explanation.
Now, the full story is playable: four friends investigate the school after dark, only to be hunted by vengeful spirits when the midnight bell tolls. To survive, players must read their environment, manage power, and know when to run.
TIC-TAC: Twelve o'clock is now available on Steam for 32 CNY, supporting 13 languages including English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Ukrainian, Japanese, and Korean.
About the Game
TIC-TAC: Twelve o'clock draws inspiration from classic horror films of the early 90s.
After several students mysteriously disappeared, the police abruptly shut down Bluebird High School without providing any explanation. Confused but determined, four friends decide to uncover the truth themselves.
One of them sneaks into the school, heading to the security room to find evidence. Immersed in their search, they fail to notice the clock striking midnight—and with it, horror arrives. The hallways warp with terrifying supernatural phenomena, and vengeful spirits, enraged by death, emerge to punish anyone daring enough to intrude.
Use Security Cameras
Throughout the night, you'll need to use security cameras to monitor the surrounding hallways and rooms. Spot every threat to survive the night, and remember: sometimes the smallest details are the key to survival.
Observe. Listen. Survive.
Every danger you encounter has its own behavior patterns and exploitable weaknesses. Learning to handle them is the only way to survive the night. But ghosts aren't the only threat. Keep an eye on the cameras and watch the darkness—it's your chance to see another sunrise.
Maintain Generator Power
Shutter doors, cameras, and lights all rely on electricity. Keep the power on, replace fuses when necessary, and stay alert—otherwise, the night will catch up with you.

"It took many years to complete this game, during which many changes occurred—both in my personal life and in the world around me. Seeing it finally reach players now means a great deal to me."

About ARMAG
TIC-TAC: Twelve o'clock comes from ARMAG, a solo studio founded by Ukrainian developer Valerii Darchenko. Before diving into game development, Darchenko spent years working in CGI, creating promotional content for international brands and entertainment IPs. Mostly self-taught, he didn't take shortcuts but instead systematically studied in-depth Unity and Unreal courses to build a solid foundation. What attracted him most to games was the creative control they offered—allowing him to act as director, writer, and cinematographer simultaneously, seeing an idea come to life in real-time before players. This passion led him to establish ARMAG, and it was this belief that sustained him through the various development challenges during the war in Ukraine.
