Game Idea
Our idea was to play with the contrast of reality and imagination through they eyes of child. We were thinking of a young boy that is brought to bed but does not want to sleep. So he sneaks out of his bedroom, takes up his little flashlight and goes for a nightly walk through the house to find some delicious cookies. But as you are approaching the dark living room that once looked so familiar during daytime wild creatures arise and start to creep up on you - but what is reality and what is just arising from your lively imagination?

The parent's house that looked so innocent and harmles by the light of your fleshlight will transform into lurking creatures as soon as your are turning your back on them. So while being on a desperate hunt for cookies be sure to keep an eye on the on the living room furnishing!
Everything that lies in the dark and is not touched by the light of your flashlight will be drifting into the lively imagination of our main character. That's why we wanted to achieve a high contrast between reality (dark) and imagination/fantasy (light) by switching from filled shapes of the furniture pieces to just wiggly outlines of the imaginary creatures that they become once the light goes dark. To emphasize the dark scenery we decided for a rather monochromic color palette.

Game Over
Once your imagination gains the upper hand and you got overwhelmed by your nightly trip through the darkness, lights go on and you will be brought back to your cozy childroom's bed. So be sure that your journey does not end before your hunger for chocolate cookies is fully appeased! But if there is any craving left - maybe try again?
