Your objective is simple: escape the house without your parents noticing. Achieving that goal, however, is anything but easy.

Gameplay Mechanics

  • Observe Your Parents' Routine: Watch your parents' patrol patterns and move only when it's safe. Good timing is the key to staying unnoticed.
  • Explore Every Corner: Search rooms, drawers, cabinets, and closets for useful items. Many objects can unlock doors, solve puzzles, or create new escape opportunities.
