About the Game

You are a young child with an active mind and a traumatic past. You regularly deal with night terrors and tonight is no different... or so you thought.

This time, something more sinister is at play. The place you once called home has changed, or so you suspect; Paintings are in the wrong place. Creatures lurk where they're not meant to be. Worse still, there's something wrong with your best friend, Peanut. Closely examine your house and decide whether or not something is awry.

Pay very close attention to the house

If something is wrong, go back to bed

If all seems well, go to your Dad's room

Bump in the Night is a horror game inspired by The Exit 8, Hospital 666, and Anomaly Exit. You must examine the regular version of the house, and then look around the house on each iteration to decide whether or not something has changed. You must escape this dream, you must wake up, you must survive.
