About the Game

Uncle Otice (or Uncle Otisce) is a narrative horror experience blending 2D sequences with first-person 3D gameplay. You play as a six-year-old child trapped inside a house that should be your home — but feels empty, wrong, and unfamiliar. Its layout is confusing, its rooms cold and quiet, as if the house itself is watching you. Your only companion is Otice, your talking teddy bear. He’s comforting, protective… and always seems to know more than he should.

Something else is in the house

A smiling presence treats your fear like play. It turns escape into a game of tag, mocking you as it hunts through the halls. If you are caught, the game ends — and your spirit is trapped there forever.

Your decisions matter

Explore the silent rooms, collect lost journal pages to uncover buried truths, solve investigative challenges and minigames, and make dialogue and chat choices that shape how the story unfolds. What you discover — and what you choose to trust — leads to multiple endings and different truths about the house, the creature, and Otice himself.

This is a story about fear, abandonment, and the lies we tell ourselves to survive.

Will you escape — or choose to stay?
