Home Alone
Note: The core game was made in a week for the Brackeys Game Jam 2022.2. It has received QoL patches but not much else.
CONTROLS
WASD - Move
LMB - Interact/Advance Dialogue
RMB - Zoom
P - Pause Game
THE SCENARIO
Your parents are heading to a fancy dinner and have to leave you behind. It's not a big deal, you're old enough to take care of yourself now. It's simple, just do the chores your parents left for you and the night will be all yours... or will it?
GAMEPLAY
This game is a short, atmospheric horror demo/prototype that dumbs down the gameplay and turns up the scares. How will you handle the obstacles laid before you? Will you stumble and become a victim, or be brave, and leave freely?
DEVELOPER NOTES
This is my first game submitted to Itch and my first game jam submission. There are many aspects about this game that I would love to improve on, but as of writing this, it's 5:00AM and I just want to get this uploaded and drink to celebrate. So, I hope you enjoy this short game. If it wasn't obvious already, I was heavily inspired by games like Fears To Fathom and the Puppet Combo titles. Really cool developers/games, you should check 'em out. Anyways, congratulations to all my fellow Brackeys Game Jam participants, and thanks to Brackeys for teaching me so many helpful things.
PS: I forgor 💀 to mention that all the low poly models were sourced from here.

i can't eat the pizza :(
Try the cutting board 👍
The game is nice and all, but when you pause the game there is no way to return back to the game, I hope you would fix that..
and the doors movement is nice but if it swings twice then closes it would be nicer and less distracting..
and thanks :)
Thanks for the feedback, Sarah. Will look into it 👍
I went ahead and tested both builds and the 'P' key should work fine in pausing and un-pausing the game. Let me know if that's not the case for you. However, it's likely a design mistake as there's no specific instruction to un-pause the game.
is there a 3rd plant? bc I cant find it
I FOUND IT
Glad you had some fun. Good luck with the streams 🙏
enjoyed the multi-endings - game starts at 16:40
Rare to see the hero ending. Good job on that one.
thank you, it was the most enjoyable haha
It was fun, spooky, but just a few things: The swinging doors really werent it. They were a bit janky and kept swinging even after passing through one a while ago.
Also, it wasnt really quite clear what to do with the items, such as the pizza. Otherwise it was a nice experience! :D
Thanks Nourie. I've made a list of player feedback and a patch is in the works. Can't remember if doors were planned to be changed as people were divided on it but I'll take your opinion into account. Either way I'm happy you played and had fun.
those door were crazy! but good game none the less!! keep up the amazing work!!
Solid video mate. Keep chasing dreams bro
struggling to eat the pizza
Be sure to put it on the cutting board first
Thank God, I was just about to ask that question!
Some stellar voice acting there. Thanks for playing 🙏
Bet He Regrets Not Wanting A Babysitter Now lol
i didnt pay attention and thought this was a "silly" home alone game, color me surprised and spooked as hell when that man appeared out of no where to deliver me a bad ending... thanks devs for making me yelled like a kid.
Sounds like you had an extra spooky experience. Thanks for playing.
Dont let them get you

私のゲームをプレイしていただきありがとうございます。今後の私のゲームをお楽しみいただければ幸いです。素晴らしい一日をお過ごしください。
i liked this game, the doors swinging around were funny but i tried to hide in the closet and couldnt get in:(
a delightful little experience! the gameplay loop is easy enough to get both endings fairly quickly. kudos!
Kind words. Thanks for playing.
UPDATE ON ME AND MY GAMES
For anyone interested about Home Alone or future games.
Happy you enjoyed it, good luck with your YT career.
I wasn't able to finish the game and one of the doors cliched out over all the game needs to make it easier to know what you need to do despite all of that I still liked the game great work.
I'll add it the fix list. Thanks for your feedback :)
why did i jump out of my chair and hit my head when one of the jumpscares popped up- p
PS: great game, luv it!
PSS: also I love the other games too
Thanks, more horror on the way. 👍
very nice game ;D
Y thank u
Glad you had fun with it. You'll get it next time 💪
i dont like it and its like there is a genie in the house and i guess there is only 1 endin
I don't like it either. Though there are in fact 3 endings for those who are completionists.
ok
ok
ummm how to make the other 2 endings???
There's the caught ending and an ending out the front door. There is a secret ending you can get by finding a hidden item which I won't spoil but it's in the comments if you can't find it.
When I opened the doors it kept swinging open and closed- it was kinda funny
It certainly did come off a little silly I will admit.
At least the intruder had the decency to call in to check on ya 🤷♂️
游戏很好,没有被吓到
yo i think he got me. game starts at: 5:20
Fun Game
Appreciate it 👍
scawy
It's a good game. Keep it up
Will do. Thanks for playing.
how do u get i?
nvm i got it![]()
That's very generous thank you. Good job on getting the ending 💪
I got 2 endings, the escape and caught one. Can you please tell me what the secret ending is?
Let's say there's an item hidden in the house. You just have to find it.
10/10 short and scary i loved the use of sound in this.
Much appreciated 👍
🎉🎉🎉
does anyone know how to get a good ending so I dont die instantly when I record for YouTube?
Try the door, or see if you can get the secret ending...
thank you so much!
where are the plants?
Scattered around the house. Should be at least 3 👍
How do I get different endings? I keep on getting the CAUGHT ending!
Try the door? Or if you're adventurous, go for the secret ending.
thanks!
where do I eat or put down the pizza??? I'm on chromebook I'm stuck
go into the kitchen and put it on the cutting board which is on the washing machine
great game got all endings!
A true completionist. Thanks for playing 🙏
