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!

Um jogo incrivel, muito relaxante e fofinho porem com varias fases bem desafiadoras
AAAARRRRRRHHHHHH!!! Yes Yes Scare those Hoomanz! Get them out of the woods!
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.
j aime bien
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.
Very nice stealth focus game with variety in level design and build up in challenge. Shoo is very cute!
J'ai beaucoup aimé ce jeu , très stratégique , amusant . Très bien même pour des enfants puisqu'il n'y a aucune violence . C'est très mignon et addictif . Durée de vie un peu courte .
6/10
~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.
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
