STORY

You play as Leona, a young college student who accepts a one-night babysitting job for a family living in a quiet suburban house.

The parents, Aiden and Jade, leave for a special night out, asking Leona to take care of their daughter, Luna. At first, everything seems normal — a quiet house, a peaceful evening, and ordinary babysitting duties…

But as the hours pass, strange things begin happening inside the house.

Unexplained noises echo through the hallways, doors begin opening on their own, and flickering lights slowly destroy the calm atmosphere of the night. Luna begins to feel that something is wrong inside the house.

As the night progresses, unexpected visitors start arriving at the house. Some claim they want to help, while others seem to know things they should not possibly know.

As reality slowly turns into something terrifying, Leona realizes one thing:

You cannot trust anyone in this house.

Now your only goal is to protect Luna and survive the night.

GAMEPLAY

Explore a mysterious house filled with disturbing events, hidden details, and frightening encounters.

Interact with characters, uncover secrets, and survive a night where paranoia slowly begins to consume reality itself.

Every knock on the door could mean danger.
And something may already be watching you from the darkness…
