Is it just us, or is the first thing we do when seeing a "DO NOT ENTER" door in a horror game is, well, enter it?

In Cult of the Child Eater, that may not be such a wise idea...

A sneak peek at Phase 2 of Cult of the Child Eater, as escape becomes even harder.

What horrors do you think it holds?

...Nope.
What would you do in this situation?

Phase 1 of Cult of the Child Eater takes place inside the main orphanage building, with the doors locked tight and the staff on the lookout for misbehaving children.

For those who played the demo: have you managed to make your escape yet?

Here's another look at some of the orphans you'll be playing as in Cult of the Child Eater.

Each has their own unique abilities and backstories, so tell us: which child would you like to learn more about first?

A look at the front of the orphanage you'll be exploring in Cult of the Child Eater.

But once brought in, you'll be lucky to ever step foot outside again...

Do you have what it takes to escape?

Six orphans, each with their own abilities and stories.

Which one stands out to you the most?

Have you ever wanted to see through walls ? Try out the new abilities of the game's characters, everyone has a different one!

Uncle George Games @unclegeorgegames.bsky.social · Aug 15

Do you like being jumpscared? What about the sound effects? Use the slider in the Settings menu to adjust the volume :) #cultofthechildeater #horrorgame #gamedev #gaming #indiegamedev

Are you making noise? Bad choice. Priests notice sound effects no matter what, but monsters can hear your footsteps.. so just relax. You walk slowly, you live longer.

NEW ITEM:
Have you ever had a drink that made you see voices? Well, This is similar, only here you can see the priests or monsters for a few seconds anywhere on the map.

Have you ever played with a heart rate monitor? Mirimaru tried it out during the STEAM NEXT FEST and it was a hit. Would you try it?

Is the atmosphere too oppressive? Are the rooms and walls too scary? Or is your vision bad?

You can find useful items on the map. The cross freezes priests and transformed demons for a few moments, you just have to take it out at the right time. It's worth keeping one on hand at all times.

Sneak past priests and monsters to reach hard-to-reach places, but be careful! You can only disappear from sight for a few seconds.

What was the first thing you bought from a vending machine? It probably wasn't as useful as what ours gives you. Find a UGG coin, put it in the machine, and survive the night with the stuff you get!
