About this game
Welcome to the "Super Children" program. A revolutionary scientific project designed to correct genetic flaws and push the boundaries of human evolution. At least, that's what the official brochures claimed.
In this first chapter of Childmare, you play as an employee trapped deep within a secret underground laboratory in the 1980s. Following a critical incident, the facility is plunged into darkness and locked down. You are no longer here to work. You are here to survive.
The Experiment Went Wrong: Meet Lou
The number one test subject is named Lou. She was a young, blind girl whom the program was supposed to "repair." But science went too far. Mutated, terrifying, and gifted with hyper-acute hearing, she now roams the dark corridors of the complex. She cannot see you, but she can hear your every step.
Key Features:
1980s Retro-Horror Atmosphere: Explore a grimy, industrial laboratory driven by the static hiss of bulky CRT monitors, flickering neon lights, and the low hum of vintage soda machine compressors.
Silence Is Your Only Weapon: Lou is blind. To escape her, you must master the art of stealth. Tread lightly, hide under desks, and hold your breath as the young girl’s shadow draws near.
A Mysterious Lore to Piece Together: Search computer terminals and find audio cassettes hidden throughout the facility. Listen to the scientists' voice recordings to understand how the "Super Children" program spiraled into absolute horror.
Will you be able to escape Lou and uncover the truth behind the project, or will you become the next victim of this failed experiment?
