How it feels
A slow-burn babysitting horror where daytime calm gives way to tense night shifts, stalked by a supernatural dog that watches from the shadows.

What players say
Players describe a short, funny horror game where you babysit a baby and survive a creepy humanoid puppy. The game combines tense tasks like warming milk and turning off the TV with silly moments and full voice acting, leaving players split between laughing and screaming. Several mention it as a spiritual successor to Fnaf.
