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 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.
ayo, that was very good. i like it. also got the HERO ending. huh, it was kinda hard to get it
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 🙏
Very good short game.
I really like games like this and enjoyed this a lot. Great having multiple endings and very effective use of sound to ramp up the tension.
Glad you enjoyed it, stay tuned for more.
I downloaded it on mac and it keeps saying "This application cant be opened"
I believe the MacOS version is broken. I'll have to take it off the page until it's fixed. Thanks for reminding me.
best short game I had played
ending had me rolling
From now on, I'll carry a Makarov while eating pizza
It's the best combination.
hey this is a good game do you have more games like this
If you're looking for suspense, my other game "The Polaris Incident" is, in my opinion, a better horror game. It was made under a tight deadline so has little content but I think the presentation clears this games'. If you prefer the retro aesthetic though, I have a game in the works that won't be out for a while due to my busy schedule, but is reminiscent of this game.
thank you for your sugestion i will have to check it out
salvada por cobarde! jajaja
y también tuve drama por la pizza.... XD
how put pizza down????!!!!!!
Cutting board 👍
great game and gave me the spooks! too bad i got caught :((( would play again but i couldnt because i was so scared lmao
Esta bueno el juego, el tener más de 1 final le da un buen toque
I AM THE TABLE GOD!! (I like this game :D)
i dont received any jumpscare or nothing,i just completed all chores
I DIDNT RECEIVED ANY JUMPSCARE OR CREEPY THINGS
Strange. Maybe they weren't in the mood to scare you. What ending did you get?
