About this game
A first-person stealth sim where every sound counts. Five midnight missions: sneak downstairs for instant ramen, win a secret 3 AM ranked match, intercept a food delivery before the doorbell, smuggle a friend in and out, or steal your confiscated phone from Mom's nightstand. Watch the decibel meter, read the risk on every move, and stay undetected.

How to play
You see everything through your own eyes in a 3D house at night: your hands, a dim blue night-light and a bodycam-style lens. Walk, crouch and open doors yourself. Every footstep, hinge and floorboard makes noise, and Mom's detectability bar rises when she hears you.
Sound is measured in decibels. Up to 30 dB is quiet, 31–55 dB is a creak or squeak, 56–80 dB is loud and 81 dB or more means Mom wakes up and you are busted. Louder sounds count for less the farther away they are, and a closed bedroom door muffles them.
Sneaking tools
Crouching makes your steps heel-to-toe and quiet, while running slams the floor. Rugs and carpet are silent, hardwood is not, and darker, worn boards creak. Check the surface noise line on the HUD.
Hold E to open a door slowly. A door opened a crack is quiet, but swinging it fast or hitting its squeak zone makes noise. Walk up to anything in the house and the prompt lists what you can do with it (press E, R or T) and how loud each action is. You see your hands do it: pouring, peeling, typing, turning a knob.
Things you pick up go into your item box at the bottom of the screen. Press its number to use it. Instant noodles come with the lid on: press 1 and peel it slowly in a tension mini game. Almost every task has its own mini game: pour hot water to the line, light the stove with a dial, chew in a steady rhythm without slurping, count out exact change, copy a rhythm to calm the dog, balance a jack or switch, or hit falling notes during the clutch match.
The five missions
Midnight Ramen Ops: take a Cup Noodles from the cabinet (it goes to your item box), press 1 and peel the lid, then make hot water. Fill the kettle at the sink and switch it on. It gets louder as it heats, so switch it off when it is too noisy and switch it on again later. Or heat a pot on the stove, or use the microwave and stop it at 0:01. Pour, wait for the noodles to soften, and eat without slurping.
3 AM Secret Ranked Match: slip past Mom asleep on the couch, boot the PC with a safe-boot timing game, plug in the headset, win the clutch match at the keyboard (timing game), celebrate quietly and shut down.
Operation Midnight Delivery: beat the driver's clock to the front door, turn the deadbolt in a tension game, avoid the porch motion light, take the bag in a quiet handoff or pay with exact change, then sneak it back to your room and eat the burger quietly.
Sneaking a Friend In / Out: calm the dog with a timing game (treat, petting rhythm or stepping on his tail-thumps), whisper the plan to Sam, lead him past the creaky stairs (step 4 is the worst) and hold V to make him wait.
Confiscated Phone Retrieval: cross Mom's creaky floor, slide the nightstand drawer open (tension game), unplug the charger quietly, and flip the ringer switch before the screen glows. When Mom rolls over, stand still.
Scoring
Finish a mission undetected to score up to 1000 points. A low detectability peak and a quick finish score highest, and the clutch match in the gaming mission adds a bonus for riskier play. Each mission has its own leaderboard.
Achievements
There are 31 achievements, and which ones you earn depends on how you play. Peel the lid without a crackle, switch the kettle off and on again, light the stove first try, carry your noodles upstairs, kill the RGB lights before booting the PC, pay in exact change, smuggle the burger in your hoodie, brief Sam, open the drawer without a scrape, and more. There are also any-mission ones for a grade S finish, a calm Mom, a fast run and finishing all five missions. Open the trophy button on the menu to see what you have and what is still locked.
💡 Tips
- The kettle gets louder the closer it is to boiling. Switch it off to let Mom settle, then switch it on again. The water cools slowly while it is off.
- Crouch whenever you are near Mom. A crouched step on carpet is almost silent.
- When the banner says Mom is rolling over, stop moving until it disappears. Moving then adds a lot of detectability.
- Mom sleeps lighter as the night goes on, so don't dawdle, and don't let her detectability stay high: she gets up to check.
- Slow actions are usually quieter than fast ones. Peel a lid instead of tearing it, and open doors slowly with E.
- Light and smell matter: a phone flashlight aimed at Mom, RGB fans, the porch light and a fresh burger all raise detectability even when you are silent.
- Replay a mission and choose a different method: most achievements need a specific approach, such as the stove or microwave instead of the kettle.
