About MOTHER

MOTHER is a first-person psychological horror game about protecting your children while descending deeper & deeper into madness.

You play as Mary, who has just recently lost her husband, and needs to take care of her two children by herself. Suffering from insomnia, you wake up each night and experience strange events. Soon enough you'll find that there are some secrets you can't escape from.

Defend your children at all costs. Be careful, because their death is permanent!

GAMEPLAY DESCRIPTION



Each night, you must go to sleep in order to progress. However, you can't sleep until your daily tasks are finished and your children are asleep. The objective is to survive without letting your children die.

Your main actions will be using a phone, using a gun, and interacting with objects in your environment.

The game is played with mouse and keyboard, and is published for Windows. It takes around 3 hours to finish.

It's been a really long time since I played such a frustrating horror game. It started out great, the atmosphere and theme kept me on edge for the first hour. And then? The game kept glitching, a monster would pass through me and disappear into a wall, only to get a jumpscare a second later. I had to restart the night twice because a child got stuck in the wall. It's been a complete nightmare for the past 10 nights. You can't get scared by anything because you have to focus on the frustrating mechanic of turning off the lights every 5 seconds. And besides... the final fight with the HP BAR???? I burst out laughing when I saw that... The story and graphics are really good, but the gameplay is absolutely awful. After finishing the game, I only felt the frustration of wasted hours.
