Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, 1GB Video RAM - will work with less, but wouldn't look too good., 1 GB of storage. Runs on Windows, macOS.

It’s 11pm and the last house on your route. The windows are boarded up, the yard is overgrown, but the lights are on and the front door is open… strange place to deliver a pizza. You’re getting soaked from the rain, so you hesitantly step inside the house. You shouldn’t have done that.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.24, set in October 2019. Its cuts run 51 percent off as a rule. There have been 92 in the 11 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 13 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 76 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners ($19.99, scores 58) beats it on value, while it beats Maid of Sker ($24.99, scores 36).

This site sampled 542 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 1,246 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 61 percent of everything written about it.

At 2 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

Joguinho de terror que conheci em 2016 pelo Games Eduuu, finalmente peguei pra jogar e aproveitei pra fazer 100% já que era de boa. Bom jogo no geral, ele melhora a "fórmula FNAF" de um jeito criativo e diferente te colocando pra sobreviver até às 6AM e até que tem um história até interessante, apesar de simples. Minha única crítica seria o fato de que nas primeiras horas não se tem muito o que fazer depois que você...

This game stole my soul many times and is honestly really fun if you want a little game that has a smallish story that has various types of threats you will have to be dealing with over the course of a couple hours(Kinda like FNAF with the time relation but first person and not staring at a computer monitor like I'm not doing that already as we speak). It's really cheap and you can get both games even cheaper...

I don't know how I'm feeling right now. I had such a good impression of the game when I was younger and spent hours watching Youtubers playing it, but now... The RNG is complete bu11sh1t, you must be lucky not to get stuck in a doorway or get chased by Chester while Mr. Tatters is active. I'd recommend passing on this game if you want to preserve your good memories of it.
