About the Game

You see a newspaper ad about a house-sitting job. Since you're short on money, you decide to sign up. What awaits you...

Did I mention that the house you'll be staying at has the latest home automation systems of the 80s!? Now you know! Simply clap twice in any room in the house to toggle the lights on/off. We sure are lucky that there are no entities around that can take advantage of this.

Immerse yourself in the environment with amnesia-like physical interactions, volumetric audio and PS1 style graphics.

It ain't much, but it's honest work.

I suggest you don't go snooping around too much, it's for your own good.

    Final Update Before Releasing My Next Game!:D

    I've been working hard on my next game, the sequel to Clap Clap, called Nightmare Files: Stoned. However, I finally got around to release this update for Clap Clap that has a lot of stuff: Better settings menu including resolution, FoV, headbob, key rebinding etc... Watering plants is speed up a bit If you lose the trash bag or the can it respawns on top of you Fixed a ton of bugs with resolution on wide screen monitors (I hope) Fixed a ton of bugs where you get stuck reading letters or get up from the bed as a tiny person:D Massively improved the interaction system with doors and stuff like that, also added new icons Improved a bit the AI of the monster in the chase sequence to make it a bit more interesting and challenging, might still have some bugs though Moved the bed in the chase sequence in the red room so that you can loop the monster and not die:D But if you run into the other rooms, you're cooked:D Overhauled the step system of the game and moved on to using nodes instead (invisible to players, but makes my life easier and allows me to make better games faster:D) Replaced the dialogue system so that I can more easily add support for more languages I tried to shorten the intro, and outro sequences a bit also added some shameless plugs for my next game Steam social buttons now try to open in the steam browser There's a checkpoint now, when you sleep, it saves your progress there ... Probably a lot more stuff that I can't remember:D I'm quite anxious about this update because there are massive code changes, and I hope I didn't break anything:D The next update for Clap Clap will most likely include some more bug fixes (if they arise) and the long-awaited localization update. If you enjoyed this game, please consider wishlisting my next game. By wishlisting the game, Steam notifies you when it comes out and also helps show my game to more people:D

    No more confusion

    In this tiny update, I did my best to help guide the player. Because in the previous builds, in some rare occasions, the lack of direction caused frustration.
