Don't Stare

Don't Stare is a narrative stealth platformer about an introvert trying to reunite a group of friends after a party gone wrong splits them up. You jump, climb, slide, bounce and flip through a hand-drawn city while avoiding extroverts who want to talk. The story follows five friends as they face their own struggles and challenges, with themes of friendship, loneliness and finding yourself amid chaos.

Navigate the city

The city includes locations such as the Grocery Store, the Gym and Your House. You make and break eye contact with extroverts to trigger their abilities and use them to move through levels. You must also avoid pushy salespeople and screaming babies. An optional parkour system lets you traverse levels faster, but with more danger; its controls are easy to use and difficult to master.

Face the extroverts

The game features a frantic but forgiving stealth platforming challenge and game show-style boss battles. These battles ask difficult questions, including “When are you going to settle down?” When extroverts drain your social energy, you can pet animals to recharge your social batteries and save your progress.

Make it your own

You can decorate your room with furniture and items from different styles and countries, and customize the Introvert with expressive hoodies, trousers, skirts, footwear, accessories and more. The game also features a soundtrack.
