OVERVIEW
In this game, you play as a teenage girl, Sadie, who just moved to town with her single dad. While you're still getting adjusted to your new life in the countryside, your dad has tasked you with a babysitting gig down the street that you definitely didn't ask for.
Good news!
The freedom to be a good / bad / or totally absent babysitter is completely yours. Your actions and choices drive the story, explore the world, toss around pumpkins, meet NPCs... and maybe do your job and figure out just why everyone thinks the house on the hill is so strange.
EXPLORE
This rural town is surrounded by forest and with fun things to explore, like the pumpkin patch! Kick and toss around pumpkins, bother the farmer, or enjoy the cold night breeze.
HEARTBEAT
When you're hiding from a monster, it's important to be quiet, right? Well, sometimes that's a little hard if you're trying to catch your breath.
Watch your heartbeat. Running, hiding, and being scared raise your heartrate and make your breathing louder, making it easier for you to be found by... whatever's looking for you.
