It’s just one week of work: watching over a sweet baby in a quiet, cozy house. Don’t worry about my little dog, i love him, and he loves the baby. Seems like an easy job… until night falls.

About This Game

You’ve been hired to take care of a baby for one week. Sounds easy, right?
But something in this house is… wrong.

During the day, everything seems normal. At night, you must monitor the cameras, keep the baby calm… and survive the dog.
He doesn’t like you. He protects the baby. And he’s not an ordinary dog.

Hidden beneath the animal’s skin is something far darker — a presence that shouldn’t exist.
Strange noises, sudden appearances, and growing tension with each passing night.

Each new day brings a new rule, a new challenge. One step closer to the truth behind what’s really happening.
You are Claire Scott, a newly hired nanny looking after a baby in a remote house for a week. But as the nights go by, you realize you're not alone.

Inspired by real-time horror classics, this game blends FNaF-style camera surveillance with tense household tasks and controlled exploration moments.
Gameplay unfolds in real time, always in first-person, alternating between the living room — where the baby stays — and the security cameras scattered around the house.

The house’s “dog” seems normal during the day, but at night it becomes unpredictable, noise-sensitive, and dangerously protective of the baby. It can appear behind you at any moment.
Each night introduces a new mechanic or challenge, forcing you to adapt, soothe the baby, and avoid being noticed by the monster. Stay quiet, listen closely, and never let your guard down.

Stay alert. Stay silent. Look behind you.

🍼 Care for the Baby

Keep them fed and calm,  too much crying might attract unwanted attention.

Manage the Power

Keep an eye on the fuse box. If the power goes out, the cameras go dark — and something starts to move freely in the shadows.

🎥 Watch the security cameras

Use cameras to keep an eye on every room. Something moves when you're not looking...
