About the Game

'Childlike' is a journey to follow the innocence of childhood.
Play as the child facing adventurous moments, the player should think like a child to overcome fear and obstacles ahead.

In the kids' imagination, kids encounter many obstacles anywhere around the house, and outside, and of course, the school.
They think of floor and road as things they must not step on, otherwise, they think they're gonna fall down.
And their school becomes the scariest place at night and dolls are alive, move around.

As a puzzle genre game, players need various abilities to move next.
Comprehension of the game - Players should look around to find items, and think about what to do to deal with the obstacles. They can grab and throw, step on the objects not to step on the floor, just like "The floor is lava".
Being alert - Players should always be careful and check if their footsteps or turning on the lights make any attraction to villains. If they find the players, something terrible will happen. And it will make the players not let their hair down.
Rapid reaction - Players should concentrate on what is chasing them and how to deal with it quickly to survive. If they act late, there is no next.

Through this game, the player can recall innocent minds as a child.
