You play as a newly spawned monster that has to learn (just get started) how to survive, after your first meal you set onto your journey

This was, THE SCARIEST GAME, I HAVE EVER SEEN. I.... am.... literally.. crying myself to sleep tonight... love it!

A very simple game, yet executed brilliantly!

I absolutely love the animations—especially the hiding one!
The arrival of the parent is perfectly indicated: sound cues, screen shake, and a suspenseful delay before the lights come on. Such thoughtful design! If we get caught, we’ve only ourselves to blame.

Poor little Timmy... but someone had to be the first to get frightened!

Great job!

First meal implied Timmy was consumed D;

Reminds me of that one flash game where youre a ghost and you scare off guests in a mansion. Pretty cool game!

Apparently I'm very bad at scaring children. And I'm very bad at knowing where the keys on my keyboard are. Super difficult but fun.

Great game! Really loved the concept)

The art is amazing and the atmosphere is intense as it should be, really great work! Would love to play more levels on this game)

A really creative game, and tough as well! I like how all the things to hide in are on the left side of the room, whilst all the interactable are on the other side. Creates a real sense of tension and risk / reward for going to scare the kid vs being really safe. Good stuff.

The animations are awesome, I got stuck a couple times after hiding but I enjoyed playing and seeing the different reactions.

I really liked the animations when the monster enters the closet/fishbowl!

FANTASTIC! This game is awesome, I had A LOT of fun playing it, tbh this is currently my favorite game. Congratulations for your project, art looks incredible, the gameplay is nice and something that I wanted was a bit more immersive sound track, like more scary sonds and something to indicate the fear aspect. Overall your project is fantastic, this is definelly my favorite game. Congratulations keep up w the good work!

Also just to let you know Ive encontered a few bugs where if you hide in the hat rack next to the door, leaves and go back to hiding spot, you get stuck in there and you need to restart the game. I didnt test in other spots but this is something I noticed!
