About the Game

In Scelerophobia, you play as a young kid left alone by his parents while they attend a party.

In regards to this, you are left with a list of chores they asked you to complete before their return.

And those chores will need to be finished before you can enjoy your time alone at home.

From finishing your homework,

to collecting all the trash in the house,

you must work through your tasks step by step.

But as the night goes on, while you try to finish your chores, the wind blows stronger, the shadows hide a pair of eyes in the dark, and the house feels a little less silent.

You will have to try to ignore the thought that you are no longer the only one breathing in this house.
