About This Game

You've spent a hundred years scaring children for a living. Congratulations! You're fired. Now, to make rent in New York, you're becoming a kindergarten teacher.

  • Terrify. Teach. Try not to care.
    Talk your way through arguments you never agreed to have. Hunt down a missing toy. Give a fish the funeral it deserves. Survive nap time, field trips, and kids who test every limit you have.

  • Find your place among the ones who don't fit in
    You know exactly what it feels like to not belong anywhere. So do they. Help the group win an art competition, earn their trust, and start to feel like a team - including you.

  • Something darker is waiting
    One girl stays behind every night, waiting for a father who never comes. She's not telling you everything. By the end of the week, you'll understand exactly why, and slowly turn from terrifying children... to protecting one.
