Swaddle

Swaddle is a short, intense first-person horror game in which you watch over newborns in a hospital. You inspect their rooms for anything unusual, including a hidden presence that may be behind one of the cribs, and try to stay calm as you decide how to protect the babies.

Decisions each shift

At the end of each shift, you must choose whether to turn off the lights or initiate sterilization and cleansing of the room. If you turn off the lights while horrific events are happening, one newborn will be taken. If you initiate sterilization and cleansing when everything is calm and normal, management will take action and you will soon be fired. You are the only one who knows something terrible is happening, and a wrong decision may keep you from saving the babies.

The hospital

The hospital appears ordinary, but something is there. The game uses quiet and loud jump scares, atmospheric visuals and sound, and a song on the radio that is meant to calm you. A playthrough takes 30 to 60 minutes.
