How it feels

A deceptively cute 90s virtual pet simulator slowly unravels into an unnerving, creeping horror as mundane caretaking tasks twist into something malevolent.

What players say

Players describe Babette as a short horror game built around a haunted Tamagotchi concept. Opinion splits on the minigames: some find them frantic and fun, others call them poorly executed and wrist-wearing. The optional nightmare mode is widely noted as brutally punishing.
