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.
