Pretend It’s Not There

Pretend It’s Not There offers a chilling twist on the psychological horror genre, blending everyday reality with the creeping dread of the unseen. In this game, players assume the role of a young student who experiences the terrifying suspicion of being followed while walking home from school. Despite attempts to dismiss this feeling, the horror intensifies when the protagonist realizes that the entity has followed them home and has also entered their house. As night falls, players must navigate their home environment, performing ordinary tasks while under the watchful presence of something sinister lurking in the shadows.

A Night of Dreadful Pretense

The core of the game revolves around the eerie task of maintaining a semblance of normalcy. Players must complete their nightly routine—eating dinner, taking a shower, and other mundane activities—all while the ominous presence makes itself felt through subtle sounds and fleeting shadows. The challenge lies in acting unaffected, as acknowledging the monster’s presence only empowers it. This mechanic of ‘pretend ignorance’ transforms familiar domestic spaces into a stage for nerve-wracking psychological play, where every sound and movement might be a sign of the lurking horror.

Intuitive Interaction and Immersive Gameplay

With intuitive controls designed for ease of movement and interaction, players can navigate through their in-game home using W/A/S/D for movement and mouse clicks to interact with objects. This simple control scheme allows players to immerse themselves fully in the experience without complex mechanics interrupting the flow of the game. The gameplay duration of 10-20 minutes ensures a compact, yet intense horror experience, perfect for those who appreciate a quick but memorable scare.
