I remembered playing this game a couple of years ago. It was a short fun neopets like horror game. I got two endings :) I really need to watch the movie this week or next.
I was constantly afraid I was going to have a jumpscare. If anyone else is worried about jumpscares, from what I played, there are none. I love this game so much! I recommend using the FAST mode. It's super slow otherwise.
played the game and saw the movie! highly reccomend, rare to see a monster horror with so much depth!
"Dog is missing"
"ok"
this made me giggle
this game made me watch the movie and must I say, both are so amazing! egg/10 would hatch again
you too lol I played it first as well
took me a while until I learned it was a advertainment piece. lots of needless waiting between textboxes though.
Agreed. Use FAST mode.
5 stars out of 5 egg did indeed hatch
my kid likes this,she is very into sim games
Good and interesting game.
this game was very good! a little spooky and very creative. rip
Here's an eggtastic speedrun
First of all, thank you for introducing me to a new horror film I need to check out. Secondly, congrats on another amazing game! (This is the third game on the video)
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. This game was both creepy and interesting. It has me wondering about the movie for sure. Great work!
I thought this was amusing and launched a vendetta against the mother. I liked the art for this as well. Good job!
didn't read the description before playing and i thought all the gymnastics was for the egg...lovely game tho!
This was fun and weird. It definitely helped make me curious about the movie :)
Show post...
This was really creative! I wonder how you get the Teddy Bear murder scene to happen? It wouldnt for me for some reason.
You get it at day 2, "keep egg warm".
gud gem airdofr
Awesome stuff. I love your little LED excursions-- heck, pixel horror is criminally underrated. Game is tight and the movie looks good, too!
