About the Game



On a summer night, you and your friends gather in the dimly lit garages, where shadows dance as you tell scary stories and play your favorite game, "Twelve Sticks".

Each story shared isn’t just a tale—it’s a window into their darkest nightmares.

We all carry the echoes of childhood nightmares…

But this night took a turn when a strange girl named Alsu appeared from the shadows. She wanted to join the game, but instead, the boys mocked her and cruelly turned her away.

With tears streaming down her face, Alsu fled, shouting a chilling warning—she was a hereditary witch.

And for their cruelty, she vowed to make their worst nightmares come to life.

The boys scoffed, laughing off her threat, their sneers laced with taunts and obscenities.





Hide from the monster, or hunt down children on the map as the monster.



The area is infested with terrifying creatures, their presence fills you with anxiety. If you get scared or make too much noise, the monster will easily detect you.



You can temporarily calm your anxiety by holding your breath, but only for a short time.



Move around on the ground and on garage roofs, but be careful. Falling from a height will take you out of the game for a while, making you an easy target for the monster.



If all players are caught within a single round, the monster is randomly reassigned.



The more players participate, the more fun you have. Minimum number of players: 2, maximum: 12.





The monster earns points for each player caught. When children get scared, they drop fear spheres on the map, which the monster can collect for extra points.



Playing as a child character, collect leaves and cones, sell them, and use the points to buy upgrades from the vending machine.



Rescue friends caught by the monster and earn bonus points. But be warned—this is extremely dangerous.



The player with the most points at the end of the round wins. You can spend them or save them—it's up to you.
