A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

"Welcome, new employee, to "Place for Children", where we do and/or make things intended for children!

He's the face of Place for Children, "Mascot"! He was originally designed by our founder, in order to create a character that sits just right in the uncanny valley so that it is appealing to kids, but creepy to those of you on the night shift.

Speaking of the night shift, that's where you come in! Your job is to perform some scheduled maintenance on Mascot, and I promise you that it is a really easy job that will not cause any stress! (this is foreshadowing.)"


This game is a parody of all the post-fnaf indie mascot horror games that stick to the cliches of "children's establishment with humanoid mascot character that tries to kill you".

Complete with everything from jumpscares to random alternate paths that lead to different endings with pointless """lore"""!

Best FNAF inspired game I've seen so far :D I loved the whole juxtaposition idea, the sarcastic humor, and the Easter egg at one of the endings! The scares were great too

I really enjoyed playing this game. FNAF is one of my favorite games and this gave me that vibe. Well done. 10/10

Vale me asusté 3 veces con el mismo jumpscare al perder XDDD y encima gritando como nena XDD les dejo mi gameplay en español :P

Wow, this was really terrifying and fun at a time.

Well made FNAF-Fan-Game-Parody, good job! :D

Brief, but terrifying. That elf guy is way too damn tall to be safe for children... that's all I'm saying.

The true terror of the game is not the AI, but the environment! This just brings chills and fantastic vibes! Great Job!

 Hey! I played your game on my stream, and I encountered a small issue! Whenever I was reaching that FNAF/Button area it didn't switch to the FNAF mode where I have to press them as it happened for others! Feel free to check it on the stream: Here's the link for it: https://www.twitch.tv/spacematterplay 😄
Game Number: 3

  I would also appreciate if you could give an opinion on our latest game. Game devs advice is precious because we know better what it takes to make something work. It's called "Backdoor Shifts"

it seems the trigger was deactivated for some reason... an easy fix which i'll release a patch for in a few minutes! maybe you'll give it another go once its possible to complete the game again?? :)

ngl this game wasnt the best but the villian was hot so it cancels out

LMAO bit of both (joke and learning)... it's supposed to be a deliberately unpolished parody of really generic horror games, but i agree it is a little too rough in some areas and i'll implement some changes based on your feedback! however i would suggest not being so harsh in your wording if you plan to critique other games as well, we're all just here to have fun at the end of the day :D

Man Imma need to lie down after this

GREAT GAME I love games that don't take themselves too serious its always a great time 😄 if you wanna see my blind reaction to the game it starts at 5:32 I hope you enjoy!

(+1)

You really captured most of the generic horror clichés that have been overused. It is surprising how simple the design for most of these horror games are, even the random lore in the background was funny (Mr Place created Mascot). It reminds me of how generic horror games became after Slenderman.

Going to keep watch for what else you add.

(+1)

This was fantastic lmao great break from the tryhard scary games! Your game is the first one!

(+1)

really cool! I could see this being longer and being even more enjoyable. Could add morw that parodies the fnaf genre hehe

(+1)

Really good! I would love to see a longer version or story version of the game but without cinematics.

The game is good. It shouldn't be scary

(1 edit) (+1)

how long did it take you to make this? and what engine did you use?

just a little bit of work every day for a couple of weeks, and i used unity! :)

i really like the game and would love a series of this game

(+1)

As someone who plays indie horror games almost daily, its nice to fake fun of the tropes and genre sometimes lol great work with this, had a lot of fun with it! Beautifully done

I love how this game plays off of the animatronic horror genre! It's such a humorous silly game, HOWEVER, that animatronic is straight NIGHTMARE FUEL! I do wish since it's a parody of these games, that there were more nights that you could revisit Place For Children and perhaps play more mini games and survive longer until you uncover the truth (unless I just missed that you could go back) but overall, this was a great experience!
