This game was a bit confusing at first but after a couple tries( and underpants ) i finally got it. Almost reminded me of Five Nights At Freddys how you stay up untill dawn for a number of nights. This game was definitley not a waste of time it captured the feel of what it was like to be alone in a dark house and you dont know who else or what else could be out there. Great Job!

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you liked it!
Very creepy game, leaves me on edge even after I stop playing. It's also a pretty difficult game XD I can't make it past Night 2. Like several people have said, it's similar to FNAF, particularly FNAF 4, but there's also a lot that makes it its own game (Also, this came before the 4th game!).
Both this game and FNAF 4 hit really close to home, throwing my own experiences back at me. To elaborate (Rant incoming!): As a kid, I would sometimes either have trouble falling asleep or wake up in the middle of the night and then lie awake for a while. At times like this, I felt like there were terrifying monsters, either from a game my dad probably shouldn't have let a six year old play or from my own imagination, watching me from the corners of the room; behind a bookshelf, peeking out of the closet, maybe even outside in the hallway. My imagination was so wild, I could almost see them. Even though I was having trouble sleeping, I would never leave the bedroom to get my mom. I wouldn't call for her. I wouldn't get up to get a glass of water, and I would only use the bathroom if I absolutely had to. Little six-year-old me thought that if the monsters got any indication that I was awake, they would kill me, so I would hide under my blankets, lying as still as possible, praying I'd live to see the next day. THIS GAME captures that feeling of dread very well, which is a very good thing for a horror game to do.
It is a bit glitchy at times, though, which is why I can't give it a perfect score. But overall, a deceptively minimalistic game that hits terrifyingly close to home.
I DARE YOU! OPEN THAT DOOR ONE MORE TIME!
This game is awesome!!but seriously...when i first read the instruction i freaked out and shut the game before even playing it and for the second time i was just being attacked. like that. without knowing what happen

Thank You! I am uploading a version that says "The Monsters" just before that, and also, fixing some minor bugs.
