About the Game

Hide from Papaku is a Brazilian indie horror and survival game that puts you in a house where every second matters. I can tell you right away that the game won't be easy. Trapped in a nightmare, your goal is simple but challenging: solve puzzles, find essential items and escape before Papaku finds you. Each room holds secrets, and every noise can attract the attention of Papaku, a tireless pursuer who gives no respite.

With four difficulty levels, Hide from Papaku offers challenges for everyone, from beginners to the most fearless, and promises an intense experience, where fear is constant and strategy is essential. Face your worst nightmares and test your courage in a fight for survival!

You must escape Papaku's house before the remaining nights run out, but don't be fooled, there will be no easy escape here, every time you make a noise Papaku will come running to check what happened.

In addition to Papaku, there are other enemies in the house that will make your escape even more difficult. There are several means of escape, but the question is, will you be able to reach any of them? Given the puzzles, will you have what it takes to finish the game?
