The puzzle on the table is a cipher that is required to unlock the lock on the basement door, itself is not a puzzle but a piece to solve another one :) you can check out the .txt file that links you to the full puzzle guide, it’s all explained in there :)
It has been becoming quite popular over the years again, yes! I personally like this style a lot, to me it feels like it often conveys a lot stronger atmosphere than super polished high quality games and the nostalgia aspect also helps a lot :D
How do you play this bc when i try to download the game, it makes it an explorer file and when i open it, it keeps downloading and never loads and i cant play it. Please help asap
Hi! I’m sorry to hear that ;; usually you just download the file, unpack it and then execute the .exe file, I don’t know what causes these issues you seem to experience ;;
There’s no tutorial, sorry. Press the download button, download the .rar file, unpack it and start the .exe, if that doesn’t work I don’t know how to solve it, sorry :(
na this game is the fucking ostia the one who created this game lasted many months without sleeping I love it it is a pure work of art it is a very well worked gam
Very well-done game! I loved that the puzzles had a story reason for existence. Also, good job on building suspense with the random noises and events that happen while going about the tasks of the game. I had no idea if it was some elaborate puzzle made by the dad or if there was something more sinister going on.
Really enjoyed this game! I got stuck for an sad amount of time at the start but all in all I really enjoyed the experience! Being able to pet that cute freakin' dog was the best feature of the experience though haha
I loved this so much. I am quite sure you were a little bit inspired by Fears to Fathom: Home Alone but you did it the right way: referencing by putting your own spin on it. I loved the puzzles, Kayla and the overall atmosphere, a thoroughly enjoyable game.
What a cool and interesting horror game kinda reminds me of fears to fathom home alone. Took me a while tbh to get the puzzles done lmao keep up the good work!!yumiicchii
I made a vid on it on my youtube channel come check it out if you want!!
Hey man! I loved the game, it was really creepy! I just googled your game, and I thought you'd like too know a youtuber with a good amount of subs did a video playing your game! If I were you, I'd be pretty proud. Great Job!
The game's a nice thought exercise and I enjoyed it. I only wish the 'boss' was a bit more prevalent throughout the game beyond the ending part of the game.
Had a blast with this game! It kept me on edge thinking that something or someone was going to randomly pop out! When I would go back to the entrance and the doggie was looking at a certain direction, it made me so anxious! Love the atmosphere, the graphics, and the puzzles! Nothing too difficult or hard, but fun to find and search for! It brought back memories of being a kid and staying home alone! Fantastic job! Would love to play more games like this!
A really good short game. I always had this fear when I was young so I definitely got scared with the ambiance, you can clearly tell something is going on but the puzzles were great. Hope to see more games from this creator soon! :)
Really nice job. I think you could even do more with the "dad who is the escape room guy". Is the main character tired of his BS, or is he sort of fond of the puzzles, or are they really excited for dad's latest game? (How about mom, how does she feel?) Then there could even be some tension when the danger arises; is this part of the game or not?
Honestly the best thing about this game is Mrs. Burnwood. So often in horror games with a youthful protagonist, adults just don't behave like adults often do - in a protective or supportive manner. Nice to see a character of this sort.
Usually the "haunted PS1" vibe is meant to elicit feelings of dread - like you're playing a cursed game. I think the low fi aspect to it here could be explored a little more. Is this the memory of someone who played a lot of PS1 games? Etc.
Thank you for this thorough feedback! Next time I hope to make a more worked out game and implement more story, feelings and relations! Glad you think so! I tried my best to make the setting, environment and characters relatable and realistic, so that means a lot to me :)! That's an interesting point! Maybe one day I'll make another game in this direction and explore it further :D!! Thank you a lot!! ♥

Amazing!! I normally hate puzzle games but this was so much fun!!
haha glad to hear, thank you! :D
Never experience it as a kid but this just happened recently.
Edit : you might wanna change the name since there's another game called "Home". It could make your game being discover much easier.
Thank you for creating. Now I download and experience the game you made. Thank you!
thank you so much!!
Good game
Thanks!!
Thank you!! :)
Thank you so much!! :)
NO PROBLEM U WELCOME
I love how we have Floof with us so we don't feel scared. The game is great it only miss a bit horror. Great Job!♥
Thank you so much, glad you liked it!! :D Next time I'll try to implement more of the horror aspect! :)
