About the Game

Do you remember? Do you remember being a child and misbehaving? One night, when you should have been asleep, you sneak into the living room to watch a late-night TV show about urban legends. Tonight's topic is your favorite toy: Mr. Zippy. As you listen to the story, an uncontrollable paranoia begins to take hold regarding the identical doll resting in your bedroom...

Mr. Zippy is Watching is a short narrative experience blending mascot horror and psychological horror. Immerse yourself in an oppressive atmosphere, complete objectives to uncover the story's conclusion, and interact with the house's secrets.

Key Mechanics:

  • Flashlight Management: Darkness hides dangers. You must manually pump and charge your flashlight to keep it lit.

  • Minigames and Puzzles: Mr. Zippy likes to play. Solve various puzzles and minigames to progress through the story and survive—or entertain—Mr. Zippy.

  • Atmospheric Retro Style: PSX-era inspired graphics that heighten the tension and unease of the first-person perspective.

Content Warning: This game features a tense atmosphere, mild fantasy violence, and jumpscares. It does not contain explicit graphic violence or gore.
