This Game Is So Much Fun To Play I Had It On My Phone But When I Saw It On Steam I Had To Buy It! The Game Has Loads Of Fun Puzzles, Achievements OH AND DONT FORGET THE SOULS Its So Fun To Go Back In The Story To Re-live It Or Get The Souls!

If you want a game with a serious story this is not the game for you, I mean you could by the name of this game. This is also a great game, for those who want nightmare baby sitting simulator, because that's what this is, with a little bit of escape room on the side for funzies. 9/10 would run away from yellow baby again (jaundice baby D: )
