You thought it would be an easy task: watch over a house for five days. But hidden in the shadows of this otherwise peaceful neighborhood is Mr. Poplar—the infamous, deranged mailman with a deadly obsession. What should have been a simple job quickly turns into a life-or-death game of survival.
COMPLETE CHORES TO SURVIVE
In this thriller adventure, your goal is simple: complete everyday chores like watering the plants, feeding the dog, cleaning the house, trimming the bushes, sweeping the sidewalk, and more. Each day, you'll receive a list of tasks and must navigate the house to get them done. Some chores are outside, which means you’ll have to be extra cautious not to be seen by the mailman.
The length of each day changes based on the difficulty you choose. As the days progress, the challenge intensifies—the tasks become more time-sensitive, and Mr. Poplar grows more aggressive. Plus, the chores are randomized daily, forcing you to stay alert at all times.
Finish your tasks on time, without getting caught, and you'll move on to the next day. Complete all five days to win—but be prepared, survival is no guarantee.
STAY OUT OF SIGHT!
If the mailman spots you, it’s a death sentence. He’ll chase you down with a ruthless determination. Avoiding him is key, but staying out of his line of sight is even more crucial. If he catches you, it’s game over.
The house offers a few hiding spots, but none of them are foolproof. Mr. Poplar will break down doors or smash windows to get to you. Your best bet is the locker in the basement, but reaching it in time is no easy feat.
The clock is ticking. Each day brings new chores—and a more unpredictable, dangerous Mr. Poplar. Can you outsmart the mailman, finish all your tasks, and survive the full five days?
