Hoomanz!

Hoomanz! is a stealth-adventure game in which you play as Shoo, the mythical guardian of Planet Erf, and scare away invading Hoomanz. The game has non-combat gameplay and family-friendly content. Darkness is nature’s friend on Erf, while light is its enemy, so you must navigate through the dark to avoid being chased and squished with a hug.

Two sides of Shoo

Shoo has two forms. Dark Shoo is fierce, fast and scary, while Light Shoo is slow, vulnerable, cute and extremely huggable; Shoo hates hugs.

Scare the Hoomanz

To scare a Hooman off the planet, you first need to stress them using the environment and its tools. You can lure them with a purrr, throw bottles, snap twigs, sabotage lights, use frozen-yeti jumpscares, or dance around dangerous traps. There is no single right way to scare them away, and Shoo can dash to escape danger or explore Erf’s nature.

Challenges and humour

The story brings harsher environments, harder puzzles and a greater need to save Planet Erf. Dash obstacle courses offer another challenge and let you save creatures. Hoomanz may play the banjo, slip on ice and make strange sounds; other comic details include their underpants, panicked waddling and screams.

The game is designed for all skill levels, with pick-up-and-play gameplay and no punishing checkpoints or game-overs.
