Sometimes, bedtime stories don’t end when the lights go out. If you're ready to face an emotional horror rooted in realism, dive into Bad Parenting. Play now and uncover what really hides behind the closet door.
At first glance, Bad Parenting looks like a pixelated bedtime tale. But the story quickly turns dark as players step into the shoes of a boy navigating the breakdown of his family. What begins as a forgotten birthday becomes a descent into psychological dread, where myths blend with reality, and unseen terrors loom within the walls of a dollhouse-like apartment.
You take on the role of Ron, a youngster trapped in a silent apartment whose cries go unheard. On the surface, your duty is straightforward: investigate, engage with, and endure the memories. However, every interaction has a decision at its core. Every room has a backstory.
Move through the small apartment. Open drawers. Listen to radio broadcasts. Touch the objects that once meant something.
A crooked-headed toy speaks to you, guiding, questioning, and sometimes lying. It unlocks access to another world through the wardrobe.
Face manifestations of trauma: shadowy children, a feline secretary, and the unnerving presence of Mr. Red Face.
Decide whether to forgive or forget. To confront or escape. Your actions influence which version of the truth you uncover.
Every decision leads to a different outcome. Some offer closure. Others trap you in loops of pain and memory.
Told as a harmless legend, Mr. Red Face is described as a nocturnal visitor rewarding good children. Yet, as the game progresses, it becomes clear he is not a figure of comfort, but a manifestation of deep-rooted trauma. Each of his appearances grows more unsettling, challenging the player's perception of safety, parenting, and punishment.
The boy receives a doll that resembles him, with a twist. The crooked-headed toy becomes both companion and unreliable narrator, offering truths wrapped in mystery. It claims to know what happened to the boy's father and promises access to a hidden world through the bedroom wardrobe. But can it be trusted?
Once inside the surreal dimension beyond the wardrobe, players meet beings like the secretary cat and other abandoned children. This world isn’t a mere dreamscape; it’s a place of moral reckoning. Should the boy leave his father behind like the others have done? Or should he brave the emotional weight of redemption?
Your choices matter. Multiple endings reflect the consequences of your actions, each one peeling back another layer of the boy’s reality. Some paths offer closure. Others, chilling repetition. Replay value isn’t just about discovering secrets; it’s about understanding trauma from every angle.
As reality collapses and timelines repeat, the boy must decide if returning to his broken world is worth it, or if a new existence among fellow lost children is the only peace he’ll ever know. The narrative ends on a quiet but impactful note: sometimes the only way out… is through.
Bad Parenting‘s a reflection. Of childhood fears. Of silence that screams louder than words. Of the stories we tell to feel safe. If you think you’re ready to confront a fear that feels all too real, the door is open. Play Bad Parenting now and uncover the truth behind Mr. Red Face.
