Postpartum

Postpartum is a first-person psychological horror game in which you spend five days at a Korean postpartum care center with your newborn. You eat meals, nurse your baby, take your first photos together and, at night, hand the baby to a nurse while you try to sleep. The next day, the nurse has been replaced by someone kind and good with the baby, but sounds from the night and things people say leave you uneasy.

Life at the care center

Your days include nursing, eating meals, attending your newborn’s photo shoot and meditating in the yoga room. You can talk with the mother next door, the cook and the photographer. Even while you sleep, someone in the care center is awake.

Clues and endings

Check your messages and records, and pay attention to your surroundings. Words that seem unimportant at first may take on a different meaning later. What you investigate and decide affects which of the game’s three endings you see.

A first playthrough takes about 1–1.5 hours. The game supports saving day by day.
