This $9 horror game is about the creepy way kids' show characters (namely Dora) act like they can hear all the five-year-olds shouting at them.

The way kids' show characters like Dora the Explorer pause for responses as if they can hear all the five-year-olds shouting at them is mildly unsettling, and probably contributes to the confused notions kids sometimes have about television.

Amanda of course does the Dora thing, where she asks you, the viewer, for advice. Except that when she asks something, such as what to cut apples with, you have to type in the correct answer or she won't continue: K-N-I-F-E. It's not exactly a subtle way to introduce the show's sinister supernatural essence—I'm thinking this isn't gonna be high horror for connoisseurs of only the nichest of New French Extremity—but I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to $9 horror games. Mild creepiness is what I signed up for and what I'm getting.

When you're not interacting with the show, you're stuck in your dead aunt's attic in a standard escape room setup: surrounded by combination locks and clocks whose times probably need to be set to some special number .

Wow, one of the PS2's great puzzle games just came out on SteamWow, one of the PS2's great puzzle games just came out on SteamWhen baby Kerry was brought home from the hospital her hand was placed on the space bar of the family Atari 400, a small act of parental nerdery that has snowballed into a lifelong passion for gaming and the sort of freelance job her school careers advisor told her she couldn't do. She's now PC Gamer's word game expert, taking on the daily Wordle puzzle to give readers a hint each and every day. Her Wordle streak is truly mighty. Somehow Kerry managed to get away with writing regular features on old Japanese PC games, telling today's PC gamers about some of the most fascinating and influential games of the '80s and '90s. Much of her free time is spent writing about old, imported, and weird games for her own site, giving herself a headache trying to code another short text adventure in C64 BASIC, or saying 'Wow, I forgot I had this!' whenever she stares at a bookcase stuffed with games.
