What players say
As someone who has been a fan of this game for years, it was nice to finally play it. It's very easy to get all the achievements and complete the game in roughly two hours. I would highly recommend the game to anyone who likes horror games or anyone wanting to visit a game from the mascot horror era.
The Christmas thriller!! A game about Furbies that come to life five days before Christmas and you as a naughty boy, opens your gifts early unexpectedly you activate an evil Mama furby that attempts to murder you every game you play every night and I like that the sense of a 90s toy coming to life and becoming a life or death situation especially since they were popular around Christmas and that's what I love about...
Wouldn't say it was "scary," but it's a pretty good horror game. I think I'm going to try and get all the achievements soon. Would 100% recommend for people who don't like horror games as much, and like other games such as Five Nights At Freddy's, Baldi's Basics, and Hello Neighbor.
