A Trick of the Mind
Halloween night is often a highlight of a parent and child’s year. Though the holiday is based around horror, candy and superstitions give a lighthearted feel for the family.
Like every Halloween, you spend it carefully watching ghosts and monsters run amok while Carla revels in candy and the horrific ambience. The night ends successfully, but Carla’s imagination runs wild, wanting to play a game with you.
You accept, but Carla’s vivid imagination is bigger than you thought. What’s more unfortunate is that the game seems like it’s purely for her entertainment.
Investigate Carla’s inner demons while you try to survive…

You did a great job on this Spooktober game!
Hey, I'm currently hunting for achievements here! I got the ones for both endings, as well as Swing Now, Ask Later. I know that "Practically Jaws" is related to the water section, but I'm stuck on the others.
Really Glad to hear that! The others are pretty much related to the endings, they are select every major choices for the Child, the same for the Adult. The Jaws one you need to fill the breathing bar to the max. Hope it helps!
All the gampelay elements were a nice surprise, the story is also quite interesting and the way it is told makes for a great mystery;The music and monster design too are quite notable. Overall a very nice horror experience.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for playing! I wrote the story and it was a really fun experience. I hope you find the time to get the second ending!
This game is sick. I'll have to finish it later, but I had so much fun playing this. 10/10
Thank you so much for playing it! I really enjoy when I get to see people recording themselves playing! Love what you did with the intro, it's very cool!
You're welcome, the game is really cool.
Also, I'm glad you liked the intro, i try to make each one unique in relation to the game.
The minigames here were really fun! The last one in particular was really unique, I paused in eating my lunch to give it my full attention haha. Excellent job setting up the spooky atmosphere - the art, music, and faux voice acting all built it up.
Potentially a small bug report? I waited to attack the monster when I first had the choice, and the next time the only available choice was to attack, so I did, but when I did so I got the achievement for attacking as soon as possible.
I am so so so curious about the ending that I didn't manage to get but I'm a horror wimp haha;;; and this game is frightening enough that I'm not quite sure I'm ready to play it again LMAOO. If I feel braver I'll come back to this one though!
Appreciate the time to play the game, ahah, Thank you! We wish we had time to play test some more to avoid some small visual bugs ,etc., thankfully we manage to avoid any breaking game bug so that was a relief at least.
I am not sure which ending you ended up with, but I hope you can play it again ahaha since there are only 2 endings 😁
