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. Protect.

    Break up fights. Hunt down a missing toy. Give a fish the funeral it deserves. Survive nap time, field trips, and children determined to test every limit you have. Just make sure every child comes home - because if one doesn’t, who will they blame?

  • Find your place among the ones who don't fit in

    You know exactly what it feels like not to belong anywhere. So do they. Help the group win an art competition, earn their trust, and, together, become a team.

  • 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.
