Shut-Eye is a Boogeyman-esque Survival Horror Video Game by HUSH Interactive.
In the game, you play as a child who's spending the week away from home as her parents are out for a much-needed holiday. Thing is, said child has been dealing with anxiety problems most of her life, and also has something of an over-active imagination. As a result, she's begun imagining that the toys in her bedroom are coming to life each night, and their intentions for the girl are anything but friendly.
The only thing that can help her keep a grip on reality is the light. So, she has a flashlight with her each night to help her get to the morning. Just keep an eye on its battery life, and another eye open for more batteries, and she will be fine.
The game was released on Steam for PC on September 30th, 2016. It's also available on Nintendo Switch.
Shut-Eye contains examples of:
- Always Night: The game is set during the nights the girl's in the room.
- Bear Trap: One of the Killer Teddy Bears has one-to-two bear traps clamped down on his head.
- Creepy Doll: One of the toys stalking you is a doll. He usually appears by the door.
- First-Person Ghost: In at least one version of the game, no part of the Player Character is seen.
