Go To

A series of two RPG Maker games about Jeff the Killer.

Isolation is the story of a young male teenage protagonist is forcibly placed in rehab by his parents after claiming he's seen Jeff the Killer. Now that the boy is all alone, Jeff decides to take the time to strike.

Obsession, the direct sequel to Isolation has Lilian (Lile) is a teenaged girl forced to accompany her parents to visit her grandparents. When their car breaks down mid-trip, the family must stay at a run-down motel. While there, Lile discovers something, or someone, creepy inhabiting the motel.

A third installment, Black Truth, was in the works but was never completed.

The are available here and here.

     Isolation 
  • Abusive Parents: Downplayed; the boy's parents care very little that their son is having trouble sleeping, and they subsequently take him to rehab after his mom catches him downing some pills. Then again, outside of the parent's presumed neglectful nature, they responded normally to their son's drug abuse.
  • Driven to Suicide: His father apparently hanged himself years earlier.

     Obsession 
  • Abusive Parents: Jeff's mother who completely ignores child Jeff on his birthday, and snap at him for interrupting them while they do their taxes. It even goes without saying that they ignore Jeff's bullying issues.
  • All Just a Dream: The good ending reveals that Lile's encounter with Jeff, and all other side adventures, was just a three-day dream. However, considering what kind of game this is, it's almost certain that Jeff's presence was real, and because he's dead, the only way he could face off his victim was to present himself in her sleep.
  • Bratty Teenage Daughter: Exaggerated with the protagonist, Lile, who's entire speech toward her parents in the beginning consist of Cluster F Bombs, and an attitude that leaves much to be desired.
  • Bullying the Dragon: The bad ending has you scream at Jeff, demanding he let you go. It goes as well as you'd think.
  • The Cameo: The Slender Manfrequently appears and disappears on the spot, and may even jumspcare you to death if you're standing close enough. Bloody Mary also makes an appearance, popping out of the mirror to kill Lile if you make her chant "Bloody Mary" three times. Neither of their appearances bare any importance to the overall plot.
  • Dead All Along: A newspaper clipping that Lile finds in Jeff's hideout in a vent reveals that Jeff had actually died in prison two days after his arrival due to excessive blood loss.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: Lile manages to get Jeff off her back, and after waking up, her grandfather shows up in her bedroom, telling her that he has made reservations that he has made reservations for the entire family to stay at a five star hotel overlooking an amusement park (likely a Disney Theme Parks expy). Looks like Lile will enjoy spending the weekend with her grandparents after all.
  • Sympathy for the Devil: To get your good ending, Lile must give a rather meaningless, off-handed apology of sympathy to Jeff for all the misery he's been through while he was still alive. He'll vanish in a burst of white light, silently thanking Lile for allowing his soul to rest once and for all.
  • Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Granted, her full first name is Lilian, but nicknaming her Lile is most odd.
  • You Bastard!: When confronting Jeff for the last time, Lile has the option of angrily screaming in his face, dropping several Cluster F-Bomb s in the process. Jeff vanishes, with Lile believing she's now in the clear. But as soon she steps outside the motel, Jeff rushes up behind her and kills her.
