About the Game

This is a short horror visual novel inspired by true events I've experienced,

In Purple Maniac you play as a father with his baby in a bathroom stall. Then a murderer and his latest victim enter the restroom. You have to keep your baby quiet while you hear the slaughter coming from right beside you. Do you cover your baby's ears to the sound of a power drill or rock them to sleep?
