Hoomanz! is a stealth-adventure game packed with coziness and humour, featuring non-combat gameplay & family-friendly content. Play as Shoo, the mythical guardian of Planet Erf with a hidden dual nature, to scare away all the ignorant invading Hoomanz. Darkness is nature’s friend, light is its enemy.


On planet Erf, darkness is nature’s friend and light is its enemy. As Shoo you must navigate through the dark, otherwise you’ll get chased and squished with a hug!
Dark Shoo: Fierce, fast, scary and fully prepared to deal with the Hoomanz.
Light Shoo: Slow, vulnerable, cute and extremely huggable… and Shoo hates hugs.
Don’t let them catch you!


When you scare a Hooman, they’ll get yeeted off the planet – you’re just that scary (or they’re just that fragile). But it’s not as easy as it sounds – You must stress the Hooman first. You do that using the environment and its tools.


Lure them with a cute purrr, throw bottles, snap twigs, sabotage lights, frozen yeti jumpscares, dance around dangerous traps… Shoo’s toolkit is full of mischief. There’s no “right” way to scare off a Hooman, so get inventive!


Dash to get out of a sticky situation, or to simply explore the whimsical atmosphere of planet Erf’s nature. Champion through dash obstacle courses to save creatures and more.


As you progress through the story, your environment will get more harsh, puzzles harder and the need to save planet Erf even more dire!


The game is packed with humour. From idle Hoomanz playing the banjo (if you can call it that), slipping on ice and generally making weird sounds, to cute underpants, their panicked waddling, hilarious screams (recorded by us Koffeecuppers) and much much more!

Very fun game, glad to have gotten the chance to test it out. By far one of the more fun and chilled-ish games I've had the privilege to play.
Hoomanz on Erf be bad! Erf be better without Hoom!
I love this cute little guy. It's a shame that the Hoomanz are here to cause trouble and ruin this little guy's forest. He's not violent, just here to teach the Hoomanz a lesson by giving them a scare. I love the change in mechanics as the levels go on.

A sneakily cute adventure in scaring hoomanz. A sort of stealth puzzler where you are a cute little rodent in the light but a devious little shadow in the dark. Smooth controls and easy to pick up mechanics make this enjoyable for any fan of the genre. Love the character design of the hoomanz and the way they get absolutely rocketed off the screen when scarred. Would recommend to anyone looking to yeet some hoomanz.
I loved this game! I found Hoomanz on keymailer when it was just a demo and though, wow thats really cute! Luckily, I was given the chance to check it out and this is how I feel about Hoomanz after completing it 100% Pros: - COLLECTABLE SKINS - The dark version of collectable skins (the cooler versions!) - Game can be played with one hand. - I liked that each area had it's own gimicks. Cons: - Game can feel short. - Music could have used some work. Some of my viewers found it repetitive.
Hoomanz! ist ein sehr putziges Stealth-Game, allein die Tatsache wie Misserfolg "bestraft" wird ist absolut süß! Die verschiedenen Level sind gut machbar, aber ab und an auch herausfordernd, sowohl etwas für den absoluten Stealth-Game Pro (weil es mal etwas anderes ist) und eine absolute Empfehlung für jeden der mit Stealth-Games wenig oder noch gar keine Erfahrung gemacht hat. ich hab 3,4 Std gebraucht, man kann es definitiv schneller durch spielen, aber man kann sich auch mehr Zeit nehmen ;) Optik eine klare 10/10, Herausforderung 7/10 Spaß am Spiel 100%.
The game is not perfect, but in the end I would rate it as 7/10. The bad: I really with the game had a map for each level and a free camera. From time to time it was difficult to know where to go next. I wish there was more ways to bait and scare the enemy as what we had in game, albeit good (mostly), was a bit limited to the point I feel most of the game I was cheesing it The good: It feels GOOD when you successfully scare away an enemy and REALLY GOOD as the number of scared enemies gets closer to the final number. The levels were proper headscratchers (in a good sense) The game is perfectly playable on Steam Deck
Final Score: 9.5/10 A surprisingly excellent, tightly-designed, and utterly charming game that far exceeded my expectations. A must-play for fans of clever, skill-based puzzle games. I received this game for free through a streamer program, and I'll be honest, I was initially hesitant to play it due to the concept. When the day finally came, I went live with low expectations, and I was completely shocked by how good it was! The game strikes a perfect difficulty balance; it's just challenging enough to make you want to immediately try again where you failed. It's a clever mix of semi-puzzle solving and skillz, where your goal is to find ways to scare those pesky hoomanz away before they hug the cuteness out of you! Even though I loved it, I do wish it were a bit longer. My playthrough, including constant chatter with viewers, took about 3 hours and 15 minutes. For the trophy hunters out there, don't worry, I managed to get most of the achievements naturally during my run. The remaining two were easy clean-up, making it a fun and completely grind-free experience. By the end, I'd even come to love the cute aesthetic that originally turned me off. I genuinely enjoyed every part of the experience, both during the main story and while wrapping up achievements after the final boss. Thank you so much for providing me with a copy of the game. It truly surprised me and has been one of the most enjoyable, standout titles I've had the pleasure of reviewing in a very long time.
AAAARRRRRRHHHHHH!!! Yes Yes Scare those Hoomanz! Get them out of the woods!
~Key provided by Keymailer While short, Hoomanz is a fun and family-friendly puzzle game. It runs smoothly, the art style's cute and friendly, most of the puzzles have multiple ways the player can tackle them.
