I Know You're There
A downloadable game
Growing up, you were told that monsters weren't real.
That there was no one in your closet. No one under your bed. That the fingers scratching at the window were tree branches. That the presence hovering over you was a dream, lingering upon waking.
After a while, you calmed your fears. You knew there was no such thing as monsters.
Or at least you did, until tonight.
Tonight, as you settled in to sleep, you felt the hairs crawling up the back of your neck. Beneath you, in the space under the bed, there was a distinct sense of presence---the kind of feeling that only a living thing emits.
In the dark, you could hear breathing. Even. Patient. Waiting.
Your heart in your throat, you called out to it.
And it answered.

This is a very good LARP.
It's short, to the point, and simple rules that allow for an interesting scene to play out. There are very few rules in place, but that allows for a basic structure to make the "sleeper" and "boogeyman" to be anyone or anything that the players want.
Excellent LARP, but I think that this could be used even more, especially for a scene/session in any sort of paper TTRPG (MonsterHearts, Pokethulu, Camp Sleepaway, etc.), or even just for a framework to tell a story. (I have many more ideas than just above, but I could continue typing for hours).
All in all, excellent work.
Thank you for the great review!
I hadn't really thought of I Know You're There as a scene framing device for other games, but it can definitely work that way!
Dear Kumada,
I understand that there was a time limit for the Halloween in September bundle, but I was really rushing to scrape up some spare money, hoping to pay for the bundle. I thought that I had more time, but I wasn't able to pay for it. I understand that the time for the main bundle is over, but is there any way that I can please purchase that bundle or access it somehow?
With the way itch handles bundles, reactivating the bundle isn't doable. I'd have to make a completely new bundle with all of the same games, get everyone's approval again, and run it separately.
However, what I can definitely still do is list all of the games that were in the bundle.
Mine are all Pay What You Want or have Community Copies if finances are tight, and a lot of the other games have PWYW or Community Copies too.

Sorry about that, it was my mistake, thank you for kindly replying to me. Next time, I'll make sure that I have something on hand to get the bundles that I want, so that my own errors don't make me miss out. *Thumbs up*
