THE SCENARIO
Your parents are heading to a fancy dinner and have to leave you behind. It's not a big deal, you're old enough to take care of yourself now. It's simple, just do the chores your parents left for you and the night will be all yours... or will it?
GAMEPLAY
This game is a short, atmospheric horror demo/prototype that dumbs down the gameplay and turns up the scares. How will you handle the obstacles laid before you? Will you stumble and become a victim, or be brave, and leave freely?
DEVELOPER NOTES
This is my first game submitted to Itch and my first game jam submission. There are many aspects about this game that I would love to improve on, but as of writing this, it's 5:00AM and I just want to get this uploaded and drink to celebrate. So, I hope you enjoy this short game. If it wasn't obvious already, I was heavily inspired by games likeFears To Fathom and thePuppet Combo titles. Really cool developers/games, you should check 'em out. Anyways, congratulations to all my fellowBrackeys Game Jam participants, and thanks toBrackeysfor teaching me so many helpful things.
PS: I forgor 💀 to mention that all the low poly models were sourced from here.

while those are good horror games, I think you hit the nail on the head with this one, even if you never intended it. nothing really has animations except for the guy at the end, so you get lured in to a fall sense of security of thinking everything is still and the big scare is gonna be small, but then the guy actually comes after you. I think the way the screen just abruptly cuts to black and justs let you linger on what just happened also helps. while games like RE are scary in the sense that a big 'ol monster is coming after you, this is scary in the sense that you're absolutely defenseless and just praying that nothing bad happens to you while knowing that something bad is absolutely about to happen to you. I think thats one of the reasons FNAF got so popular anyway, so yeah. (what is bluddy waffling about)
This game is pretty good but I have to say that the part when the guy is outside your house needs more light bc I can barely see it so it isn´t that scary (just my opinion of course). Anyway, this game is good so guys, try it!!
Aquí os dejo mi gameplay en español por si queréis echarle un vistazo. Igualmente os animo a jugarlo!!
This game becomes inherently more funny if you start commentating it with sass. "What the hell do you mean check the list again there's only 4 things can we not *ucking count?" "Well I guess I'm going to eat this whole pizza by myself like a *ucking fat arse" "Nobody's home go *uck yourself" "Welp time to play Valorant now that I'm do- HOLY SH-" Also haha door physics go brrrrr.
This question is so valid but so funny to me. I modeled the house layout 1:1 to my actual old house. The washing machine placement is exactly how it was in the house, but other things such as the TV on the ground were more just time-saving things. In real life it was on a stand lol. We did have a fridge in the conservatory too. Maybe it was an us thing, or maybe just a UK thing idk. Thanks for playing.
Olá, estou usando o Google Tradutor, então isso pode não fazer sentido. Fico feliz que você tenha gostado do jogo. A história e os personagens foram um pouco esquecidos. Não tenho esse jogo em alta conta, mas estou gradualmente evoluindo minha jogabilidade e história. Espero poder impressioná-lo no futuro. Tenha um ótimo dia!
