You’ve been hired to watch a quiet, well-mannered boy for the night.
The parents are gone. The house is still.
At first, it’s just chores, small talk, and the hum of the fridge.
Then come the sounds.
The breaking of glass.
The strange things the boy says when you check on him.
Everyone told you he was harmless.
But someone in this house is in danger…
…and if you stay too long, it might be you.
A short first-person PSX-style horror experience about trust, routine, and the moment you realise you’re not the only one watching.

I rate this game a 4 out of 5 masks, just because the walking was slow, but hitting a kid over the head makes up for it.
Hehe
The movement is so slow.
Noted, i'll keep that in mind next update!
This game was very simple, but I enjoyed being able to fight back 😊

Love the retro PSX graphics and vibes. Searching the house was pretty scary and intense. Great work!
I'm Babysitting a KILLER! | W Game man, I did what I had to do against that little demon
Wow, The Quiet One really got my heart racing! 👀 The story kept me on edge the whole time. Can’t wait to see more! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
i will skin you alive
That little son of a b*tch.
This game was pretty cool. At the end, it glitched out and I wasn’t able to finish, but it was overall entertaining to play! Lol
I’m watchin the SPAWN of Chuckie and Tiffany?! Come GET YOIR CHILD!
Ah thank you for playing. Sorry about the bug I'll make sure to fix it right away!
Yet another chore-based game. These students must all have the same instructor that says you must include chores in your game, or you will fail the class. Chores are boring and a waste of time. An involved and engaging story however, is really the true goal. If you have to fill your game with nonsense activities, just to make the game seem longer, then you are not much of a game creator. It would have been better to talk longer and more frequently with the sociopathic kid, having him peel back his psychotic views, one by one, revealing the true monster within, building suspense and terror, realizing slowly that you are his next intended victim. Also, a more profound tie-in of his parents being enablers of the kid's psychotic tendencies, blood under the mother's fingernails, to show that they are complicit and know all too well about the monstrosity that they are raising.
So no GOTY? 😭
great game
that was good but goofy at the end.
This game was so funny and eerie I loved it!! Loved how dark and film-like the setting was too. Great game!
Probably the scariest and most eerie game i have played on my channel lol, pls come check it out :]
This was really good ! Little weirdo definitely looked the part lol Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing ! :)
I really enjoyed playing it!
I really liked that the sounds weren't too graphic,
I'm always looking for the cleanest scary games that still deliver atmosphere and a moral story and this one works great.
(I gave some feedback in the video talking about it.)
