Stealth horror
Don't bark
A little dog, a rainy night and creepy cats. Barking scares them off – but it wakes the human.
Coming soon for iPhone, iPad and Android (landscape)
You are a small dog without a collar, alone on a rainy night. Barking drives away the creepy cats – but it also wakes the most dangerous enemy of all: the human.
You never see him fully. Only light behind frosted glass, a silhouette, a shadow, a hand with a flashlight. Sneak past creaking floorboards, hide, and decide when a bark is worth the risk.
How to play
Sneak through the night
Gravel is loud, old floorboards creak, carpets are quiet – every step counts.
Bark at the right moment
A bark chases the cats away, but turns on the lights and wakes the human.
Hide
Wait under benches and behind furniture until the flashlight moves on.
