About the game

A dark-comedy 2D narrative adventure. You spent a hundred years scaring children for a living - until New York rent forced you into a 5-day trial as a kindergarten teacher. Bond with a group of misfit kids, help them win their first team victory, and discover why one girl never wants to go home.

Original Steam description

You've spent a hundred years scaring children for a living. Congratulations! You're fired. Now, to make rent in New York, you're becoming a kindergarten teacher.

  • Break up fights. Hunt down a missing toy. Give a fish the funeral it deserves. Survive nap time, field trips, and children determined to test every limit you have. Just make sure every child comes home - because if one doesn’t, who will they blame?

  • You know exactly what it feels like not to belong anywhere, and so do they. Help the group win an art competition, earn their trust, and, together, become a team.

  • One girl stays behind every night, waiting for a father who never comes. She’s not telling you everything. By the end of the week, you’ll understand exactly why - and slowly turn from terrifying children to protecting one.
