The baby is crying and just won't to go to sleep! Are you up to it?

Be warned though, this seemingly simple task is more horrifying than it appears...

This is a short experience (<10 minutes), but there are 3 possible endings (one is a little hidden - look carefully).

Controls

WASD/Arrow Keys - Movement
Space/Enter - Action

Most controllers should also work.

Feel free to post your playthroughs in the comments, and let me know if you'd like to see more!

Really thought provoking game in my opinion, but very, very dark. 

Got my 1 ending and called it a day. This game is scary ash

Hey there! I played this and got all the endings, it was pretty hard to get a certain one but I managed to get in eventually! My only criticism is the ear raping for an extremely long time, I get loud sounds but that was extreme for anyone I'm sure. Anyways Thanks it was great otherwise!

Such a cool game! I got 2 endings! 

Very interesting and fun, I really loved how you have to really think so you can get the other endings which I managed. 

Hii... I tried playing the other games. it's a good game... there are some little games when interacting on something and it's fun. wish you enjoy my gameplay... :)

Hey, thanks for checking it out! 

i don't know why, but when i start it, the character and the map doesn't load, and i don't see anything, just this for all the time, it's like bugged, i need help please.

Hmm. That is odd. Do any error messages pop up? Can you hear sound?

i can hear sounds, no error shows up.

i am in the level, but there's just nothing there.

sometimes it appears some parts of the level, but only for little seconds, and it desappears after.

This is a bizarre occurrence. With no error messages or anything, it makes it very hard to diagnose what's going on. What specs are your PC out of interest?

my pc is a windows 7  ultimate service 1 and it is 64 bit.

This was super fun! I loved the minimalist style! Thank you for putting it out into  the world!

Hey, thanks for playing and your kind words. Good play through. You deserve more subs! As for the pentagram. Not the first time I've had critique about its usage. It's a fair point, definitely an overused trope at this point. Was definitely playing into that factor, but I can see how it robs mystique about what is going on. In one of the future instalments, when you learn more about the cult, you should see some changes there.

Thank you for your kind words! And I can't wait to see what comes next!

I love these kind of games not relying much on jumpscare but the uneasiness

Hey thanks for playing. Glad you noticed. The intention was definitely to limit jumpscares, as it can become a crutch. I find long periods of uneasiness far creepier.

😊👍

disturbing stuff wow o.O

I had so much fun playing this! Still scary but really entertaining.

Thanks for playing. Glad I was able to grant your desire to murder the baby!

This Game Was Great The Baby Was Terrifying

Au top!!

Merci et bravo pour le travail :]

Not a bad little game, good work.

Nice game !

Great game!! I got all the endings 😊

Made a video

Fantastic game! That payload.exe in the game folder and the babies crying unnerved me the most though... nice job!

(1 edit)

Hey thanks for playing! As for "payload.exe", The game deployment was scanned and reported as clean. If you still don't trust it, I believe it can be safety removed without interfering with the game (as it seems to be used only for web deployment purposes).

Lol it's all good, I was just joking around mostly. I scanned it to be sure anyway ;) thanks for making the game!

I just wanted to be a good mother! Awesome game! It was very creepy. If I had one critique *spoiler* lower the knocking to three. After trying the same thing three times in a row and nothing happening, I think most people wouldn't try it again.

Hey, thanks for playing. It was a fun watch. Interesting theory at the end there. You'll learn more in a future game! As for the knocking, wanted it to be a little harder to find than other endings, so that's why it was slightly trickier to get.

Understandable. You did leave a pretty big hint by having a cultists run in right before you reach the door lol.

wow ini adalah game yang menarik saya menunggu dan berharap ada update terbaru

Love what indie developers are doing nowadays.

Hush Little Baby?! [Indie Horror #1] - YouTube

Built such tense atmosphere with such simple graphics! Story was quite interesting too! All in all, loved it!

(+1)

Hey, thanks for playing. I glad you enjoyed it. It was definitely tricky to create a scary atmosphere with such limited graphics. This is just a small part of the story. More in the future!

I didn't expect the game to be as absolutely like unsettling as it was!?!!??!?! Even the beginning was like.... a bit unsettling i was like...

Hey thanks for playing. Unsettling was the goal!

Good game! I hope there is happy ending & I will play Data Break later. here my gameplay... :)

Hey, thanks for playing! I watched your video with subtitles. I was surprised how well it translated the story. There is no happy ending :( 

This is exactly what it's like to have a baby 

Great game

Interesing horror game.

(-2)

Game has a unique visual style, reminds me of the virtualboy console from nintendo, I like it! My only complaint is the use of the pentagram for cult/evil ritual, the pentagram is not an evil symbol at all. Nor is it bad when inverted, which is used in satanism. Satanism is not "sacrifice people and animals" but rather "just be a good person and harm no one". As a wiccan, it's pretty tiring to keep seeing pentagrams used in this way. I would refrain from doing so in future games. Other than that, keep up the good work!

Good horror game. All Endings here: 

Ending B:

Ending A:

Nice game and I really like the minimalist approach to the game. It really helps sell the horror. Also, why that nightlight. T.T

Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/@Levont

Thanks! I thought everyone had a demonic teddy bear nightlight when they were a baby?

Thanks again for making such a wonderful little horror game! Here’s the vid of my playthrough!

Awesome! Left a message on youtube. Honestly I didn't think this game would get much attention at all, but pleased people are liking it! Let me know if you play the DATA_BREAK demo. That has 4 endings, though they are a little nuts to unlock (but they contain lots of horror sequences). If you get stuck, happy to help.

Absolutely loved this game and excited to check out your demo of Data_Break once I get the chance! Should be having a vid up on this one either before or after Christmas (I'll post the link here) but got the three endings and hoping that your game gets a little boost!

Thanks for the kind words Jacob! Really glad you enjoyed it. Can't wait to see the vid. Definitely have some plans to expand this world more in 2023. Hope you enjoy DATA_BREAK too!

scary

Hey, thanks for playing!
