Story:

A group of four unlikely companions arrive at an abandoned amusement park, drawn by the promise of a unique experience. They quickly discover that the park is haunted by the restless spirits of those who perished in a tragic accident. To escape, they must solve puzzles, confront supernatural threats, and uncover the park's dark history before they too become part of the shadows.

That was fun! I got some FnaF vibes here. The graphics are eerie, especially the dark child spirits. The music is frantic and fits the story well. My main gripe was the controls. I'm not used to keyboard movement, and I needed it to be able to switch rooms. I also repeatedly accidentally ditched my friends and had to go back and get them to follow me.

So, what does

Thanks for playing!

You can click to walk and click on doors if you prefer, also I put the signs in so you can click on them to quickly switch rooms( in the carnival part ) but maybe there are some dodgy hotspots that I missed!

If reference to the spoiler tag, it's just a stupid joke.

it stands for new game plus

I didn't use the WASD keys, using the mouse, instead. Regarding the hot spots to change rooms: it may be more of an issue of those signs fading into the backgrounds. Once I noticed the signs, it became much easier to move between rooms.

I used the mouse, too. But I found it fiddly to go to the next room, so I used the cursor keys for that. Didn't notice the signs, sorry.

It's my fault if you didn't notice the signs! I guess I am kinda bored of clicking to walk and prefer the feel of actually controlling the player so I designed it primarily around the WASD controls. I remember when 'The Cat Lady' came out, I was disappointed that it wasn't click to walk lol, now I am the opposite.
