❤ Gameplay Overview

You take on the role of Mary, a recently widowed mother tasked with protecting her two young children over the course of 15 in-game nights. Each night, you must complete a checklist of household tasks, such as cleaning up trash or moving boxes, to progress to the next day. However, as the nights go on, these tasks become increasingly challenging as you must also defend your children from a supernatural threat that stalks your cramped apartment.

❤ Maintaining the Children's Well-being

Keeping your children's health and sanity high is crucial, as their well-being can drop to zero, resulting in permanent death and a game over. You must vigilantly check on them, rescuing them when the entity attacks, and taking actions to reduce their stress levels, like tucking them into bed properly.

❤ Navigating the Apartment and Completing Tasks

Moving through the apartment, you'll interact with various objects to complete your nightly tasks. This may involve searching for items, resetting the faulty electrical system, and generally securing the environment. Your movement is limited, as you can only sprint in short bursts, adding to the sense of urgency.

❤ Defending Against the Supernatural Threat

As the nights progress, you'll be forced to directly confront the supernatural entity. You're initially limited to a phone-based flashlight, but eventually acquire a firearm. Successfully fending off the rapidly moving threat requires precise timing to land your shots. Failure results in the entity attacking your children.

❤ Permadeath and Tension

The implementation of permadeath, where a single death restarts the current night, creates an intense sense of tension. You must carefully balance completing tasks, protecting your children, and managing your own stamina, as the consequences of failure are severe.
