Carl Williams, a 15-year-old boy, finds himself alone at home one unsettling night. What begins as a quiet evening soon spirals into something far stranger. Shadows shift, silence speaks, and someone—or something—seems to know him better than he knows himself.

About

An episodic psychological horror experience based on fragmented memories and twisted perception.
You’re looking at the first chapter of the Living Nightmares series — standalone stories that follow people grappling with distorted realities, fractured identities, and unsettling truths they were never meant to uncover.

Tell me why I was looking for the house key with my "dad" just sitting in his car watching me wander around aimlessly for a handful of minutes when the man could have just let me in?? Besides that was a fun simple horror game. Kind of quick but loved the phone action and the whole backstory if you read the texts.
This is absolute rip off of Fears to Fathom Home Alone but way worse, and buggy on top of that. I had to turn off vsync and change frame rate to 60 from 100 because game kept crashing in introductory car ride.
I really liked this game, similar to Home Alone but I thought it was better, I loved the twist of the imaginary friend. I agree it could use a checkpoint just before hiding and it was very dark to see. But other than that I thought this was pretty good, thanks for releasing this to us dude and I look forward to episode 2!
this was absolute cinema, a little short but still enjoyable, can't wait for episode 2 dev(s)!
