The Puppy

The Puppy is a first-person horror game in which you play Claire Scott, a newly hired nanny caring for a baby in a remote house for one week. By day, the house seems normal; at night, you monitor security cameras, keep the baby calm and avoid the dog protecting it. As the nights pass, you uncover what is happening in the house and realize you are not alone.

Night-time duties

Gameplay unfolds in real time, alternating between the living room, where the baby stays, and security cameras scattered around the house. You must keep the baby fed and calm, since too much crying might attract unwanted attention. You also manage the fuse box: if the power goes out, the cameras go dark and something can move freely in the shadows.

The dog

The dog seems ordinary during the day, but at night it becomes unpredictable, sensitive to noise and dangerously protective of the baby. It can appear behind you at any moment. Strange noises and sudden appearances build tension as you try to stay quiet, listen closely and avoid being noticed.

New challenges

Each night introduces a new mechanic or challenge, making you adapt while caring for the baby and watching the house. The game combines camera surveillance, household tasks and controlled exploration.
