An interactive slasher. Paying homage to the slasher films of the 80s and 90s, a colourful cast of characters will dive headfirst into the most obvious traps - but this time, you can intervene.
PITCH: Six teens embark on a heist at their high school to steal their exams’ solutions. But their high school does not entend it that way.
As a horrific allegory of the school system and its inhumanity towards those who are not suited for it, Don't be Estranger humorously depicts these marginal kids who go through years of school in suffering and come out traumatized.
History
Given that we released our previous game on January 30th of this year, this project is in its early (early early) stages of life.

1. Everyone can die - six people enter the school. It is up to your choices and skills to exit the school with all six of them
2. Branching convos - your only weapon is a walkie-talkie, and patience.
3. Comedy horror - with the right balance of spooks and laughs and spooks again
4. Creepy crawling - who doesn’t love sneaking through dark corridors with a flashlight and avoiding the janitors - or worse?
