I'm never babysitting again
Perfect Game! It's really fun with easy challenges at the start, but later it will be hard. I beat the Game in 2 days and am waiting for Act 5!
youd get the same experience watching it
I was very, very suprised by how much I liked this. A goofy yet creepy game with lovecraftian elements sprinkled in. Completely unpredictable moment to moment that had me chuckling to myself as I'd throw the Baby in the oven and five minutes later deliver a completely terrifying chase sequence with creepy visuals. Also, can I just say that good work to whoever did the illustrations for the graphic novels in the first act? Can't wait for the final chapter. Overall score: 8/10
A perfectly normal babysitting game
