About
It started as a perfect afternoon for 12 year old Timmy. It's Friday afternoon, there's no school tomorrow, and his best friend just got a brand new game. Mom said to be home before dark, but time flies when you're having fun and now the sun has set. What was once your friendly neighborhood is now a disorienting suburban maze of fences and shadows.
You're not alone out there. A murderous Ice Cream Man is prowling the pavement, and he is much faster than you. To survive, stay out of sight and use the environment to your advantage.
Run for your life: If you hear the Ice Cream Truck slam on the brakes--RUN. But once you're in his sights, it's likely already too late.
Sneak & Evade: Navigate through backyards, using what you find to scale fences.
Hide to Survive: Duck into doghouses, crawl into trashcans, and stay low behind bushes.
Retro Aesthetics: PSX-style visuals and CRT filter that lean into low-poly nostalgia and dread.
Bite-Sized Playtime: ICE CREAM MAN is a single-player narrative horror game that can be completed in 20-30 minutes.
Dual-pronged Enemy AI: A roaming Ice Cream Truck and villain that pursue you on foot--forcing you to plan your route carefully.
Replayability: The many backyards to explore, and the roving, relentless antagonist make each playthrough unique.

The nostalgic graphics immediately gave this game a lot of charm, and the simple story made it easy to jump into and enjoy. The gameplay took a little time to master, especially getting the timing right, but it felt rewarding once everything started to click. One of the best parts was trying to evade the ice cream man. Even when I thought I was safely hidden behind bushes, he could still find me, which made each escape feel tense and exciting. Overall, it is a fun and straightforward game with a great retro feel and enough challenge to keep it engaging.
All u do is walk 500 meters at night and have to “remember” the way back home as if just going straight and then left is hard to remember if anything challenge urself buy the game and speed run it and get refund its ez (refunded)
the game is good but so short
This was a really cool game. It was definitely a thriller. The chases and jump scares were really good. I like the graphics. I hope the developer makes more games like this!
Fun little horror game! Although, it is not very long, I still felt immersed and genuinely creeped out. It is very eerie trying to hide from the ice cream truck while the creepy music plays. Short but but sweet! Rating: 8/10
It wasn't the game itself, but the controls are really crappy and it makes it annoying to play
Short but super sweet! I just finished Ice Cream Man and honestly had a blast even though it's very short. You play as a kid who loses track of time playing games at your buddy's house. When you finally head home after dark, the neighborhood turns into a nightmare as you have to sneak through backyards, jump fences, and hide from a murderous Ice Cream Man. I got caught plenty of times at first, but that just made figuring out the routes and hiding spots even more fun. Each attempt felt like I was getting smarter and closer to making it home alive. The PSX-style retro look and atmosphere are really well done — it gives off that perfect mix of nostalgia and creepy tension. For a bite-sized game (I think I beat it in under 50 minutes), it packs in a lot of replayability because the Ice Cream Man’s movement keeps things unpredictable. It’s not a long experience, but it’s a really enjoyable one. Sweet, spooky, and satisfying. If you’re looking for a fun, quick horror game to play in one sitting, definitely pick this up. Highly recommended!
