Pretend It’s Not There

Pretend It’s Not There is a psychological horror game in which your character returns home only to discover that something has followed him. The moment the front door closes, the atmosphere shifts, and familiar rooms no longer feel safe.

A Home That Feels Less Safe in Pretend It’s Not There

The world of Pretend It’s Not There invites players into a small suburban house that grows increasingly unnatural as the night goes on. You begin your evening as a student returning from school, backpack sagging and mind tired. The sidewalk feels ordinary until you sense that something is at your back. That presence follows you through the front door, breathing into the corners of your vision. From that moment on, the game becomes a battle against your own instinct to look.

A Monster That Exists Only at the Edge of Sight

The entity never attacks traditionally. It stands behind you, beside you, or in the next room. Looking directly at it brings immediate danger, forcing you to glance away the moment your eyes meet its shape. The tension grows from knowing you are watched in every quiet second.
