Another nWoD idea

So worked late tonight and realized just how spooky my big (somewhat old) office building can be. It's a major building in the city and headquarters for the company so it made me wonder what kind of gaming possibilities it had. I'm enthralled with the concept of Stevens Point by Night.

So anyhow the idea would be that the PCs are night staff, primarily security guards but maybe some maintenance crews and have to deal with the fact that strange things happen at night. They always clear up by day when there are hordes of people around (weekends are dubious tho). Since its nWoD I might let the security guards be armed although the company (hereafter referred to as The Company) is a little vague as to why they are armed.

In theory the story could evolve out to other places in the city as the employees investigate ties with other parts of the community to The Company (bloody hell, now it sounds cheesy). This also might let me get away with the other local game I want to run set in Nelson Hall although it might be more of a localized thing.

Not entirely sure if I could tie the Jericho theme I have been toying around lately. I don't think the two settings will mesh. However the city has lots of places that could work for creepy setting material and its old enough that such things could be pulled off.
