About the Game

Relive childhood nostalgia, and fear, of past-bedtime gaming in this first-person horror stealth game, where hiding from mother is crucial.


In this nightmare, mother watches over as she patrols in the dark of night. To escape, avoid being seen awake and complete your handheld games while mother isn’t watching.

For survival, always remember:

1. Keep an eye out for mother.
If she’s about to catch you playing, pretend to be asleep to avoid detection.



2. Don’t focus entirely on the game.
Stay aware of your surroundings. Mother might be watching, and she could even appear right over your shoulder at any moment.



3. Don’t pretend to sleep for too long.
If you pretend to be asleep for too long, anxiety will set in and blur your vision of mother.



4. Be careful with the game at hand.
When you lose all lives in your handheld game, mother will sense your frustration and come for you.
