About This Game

In the dark shadows of your kidnapper's dungeon, you awaken to find yourself in the clutches of a deranged old man who sees you as nothing more than a doll. He has curated a sadistic game of control, where your survival depends on your ability to master his twisted version of childhood fun.

You will die.

Gameplay

Your captor has devised a series of deadly games for you to play. Each one more disturbing than the last, these challenges are designed to test your worthiness as his perfect "plaything." Failure means death, and success could mean becoming a permanent addition to his collection. Your only chance is to find a way to escape by yourself.

Find tools, interact with the environment and inspect items to find your way out. Each run has a different set of tools, games and means of escape. There is no safety net.

Each attempt you are a new victim. Don't expect the same games or means to escape. As such the game splits into two main sections - his games and your escape. If you manage to leave your room of captivity, better not get caught.

Will you manage to get out alive?

Interesting game covering an important topic we need to be more aware of! The game is simple, featuring a few mini-games that might be hard to master at first, but no worries...You will try and try again. The game has some bugs, but as expected for a new release. Lastly, an FOV setting would be great! Developers, Please Read the bug list: 1. If not ALL THE WAY in for hopscotch, the door forces players backwards into the void area 2. Weights game - If a player interacts with specific items timer sound immediately 3. If the player inspects & un-inspects items too fast, it causes a permanent blur effect

Funky little horror slasher! Best to play during wild subway rides or boring bus tours ...

Cool little game with some nice ideas and atmosphere. Narration is on point along with the sound effects and background music. The art style also fits nicely. If you like puzzle games, it is definitely worth it!

After I tried this game on a friend's computer, i decidided to buy it myself. It starts with some mini games which for some reason reminded me of the SquidGame series. The mini games are more challenging than I first thought. This game is really hard. At least for me :) Seems like failing and dying multiple times is part of the game. There is no game save. Everytime you die or restart the game, you start from the beginning. That's a little bit annoying, also it is what makes this game interesting. All you have to beat this game is your knowledge of the previous tries. BUT the clues you get in game is different at different places with every run. So it's not always the same.

A very fun but also challenging game! Wasnt able to escape yet, you really need to learn to qwirks af you kidnapper. Also the voiceover is creepy - in a good way.

not sure you can actually beat the game. every time I flip a switch in the toy room, then return to the room to wait for the next time by using the bath, it kills me. occasionally the time you have out of the room is so much shorter than it should be and you just lose. just seems too tedious and unfair after a while. I see the achievement rate is 0% for beating the game, so like, not a good sign. also the hopscotch game is definitely the jankiest, lowest completion rate according to the achievements. I only finished it once, other times it would change colors and just kill me instantly.
