About the Game

Cut Grass and Hide

Bait Garden is a first-person survival horror game. Cut the grass and stay hidden in a garden stalked by an unknown creature. But be warned, every sound you make is being heard.

Make a Sound, and It Wil Find You

The entity lurking in the dark reacts to your footsteps, the swing of your scythe, and your flashlight. Run, and you'll be spotted. Stand still, and it will catch you. If you don't want to become its next meal, you must finish the job completely unseen. Stay in the shadows and keep mowing.

Harvest, Return, and Upgrade

Bring your harvest back to the safe zone and sell it for cash. Use the money to upgrade your stats and your scythe. But beware: if you are attacked before making it back, you will lose everything you've gathered.

The Grass Slows You Down

The Tall Grass Slows You Down Wading through the overgrown grass will drastically drop your movement speed. You have to mow it down to move efficiently, but the very sound of cutting will draw it right to you.

Use Light to Stun "It"

Your flashlight is your only lifeline. Hitting the creature with your high beam will temporarily stun it. However, you only have a limited number of uses, so you must time it perfectly.

Do you have the courage to find out what waits in the dark depths of the garden?
