Pretend It’s Not There immerses players in the life of a young student who experiences the terror of being followed by an unseen entity on the way home from school. Despite attempts to dismiss it, the dread deepens when the presence makes its way into the student’s home. This simple yet profound premise sets the stage for a gripping psychological thriller where the boundaries of reality are blurred by fear and denial. The game challenges players to go about their evening routine while ignoring the menacing presence that they’ve inadvertently allowed inside.

A Night of Forced Ignorance

The gameplay centers on the chilling task of maintaining normalcy in the face of fear. As the player, you navigate through the familiar yet foreboding environment of your home, performing mundane tasks that take on a sinister edge under the circumstances. Each interaction—from grabbing a snack to throwing away trash—becomes a test of courage as you attempt to act unaffected by the creature lurking silently in the shadows. The game cleverly uses standard controls to make these ordinary activities feel extraordinarily tense.

The game’s duration of 10 to 20 minutes packs a concentrated dose of suspense, pushing you to the edge of your seat as you try to complete your nightly routine without acknowledging the monster. The minimalist control scheme enhances the feeling of vulnerability, focusing on basic movements and interactions that underscore the game’s intense atmosphere.
