A childhood staple game of mine. A lot of great new content for this release, easy and satisfying gameplay and an adorable art-style make this game still hold up today

One of those "I watched a youtuber play it" games. It's a bit fun. The only thing is the AI, sometimes they just walk in circles or up and down stairs over and over its like why? If they're in the terrified tongue out of mouth run animation for long enough, they should leave automatically instead of having to keep leading to the front door or exit. At least, have a time limit. Maybe it's engaging to have to lead them out yeah, but again, time limit of them being scared till a force leave would have been nice. No, I dont want to be stuck with 1 kid in the train section for over 10 minutes. Very cute game though.

As fun as this game is, there was wayyy too many bugs and soft locks for me to fully recommend it despite the discount I got it on. I hope the devs eventually patch the game so that the final level won't have characters freeze in certain rooms or have the game crash as much, because I remember this game being a ton of fun, but the final level was just an exercise in frustration. Also, there's no real tactic to my awareness to get people to run out the door instead of jump out the window.

Crashes a lot for like no reason :( Very cute and nostalgic game for me but definitely needs to be fixed

The game main objective is simple where you need to make all the people leave the area you are haunting. It is mostly a cute game to play to fill some time.

This games me sleepy, I did not play it as a kid back in the day. I think this was hosted on Adult Swim Games? If so I was playing Amateur Surgeon and the alike on there. If it was on NewGrounds, well sorry I just had too many choices and that sentiment is there today,
