Description
Bad Parenting plunges players into a shadowy tale woven around the myth of Mr. Red Face, a character from adult folklore reputed to gift well-behaved children under the cover of night. Yet, as the narrative progresses, it becomes clear that Mr. Red Face’s visits are cloaked in malevolence rather than merriment. The game unfolds within a dimly lit apartment where Ron, the protagonist, confronts terrifying supernatural occurrences. Tasked with the dual responsibility of uncovering the haunting truth behind Mr. Red Face and safeguarding his family, Ron’s struggle casts a pall over what might have once seemed like just an innocuous bedtime story.
A Nostalgic Journey Through a Haunted Apartment
The gameplay of Bad Parenting blends linear progression with intricate psychological and supernatural elements. Rendered in a graphic style that harks back to the gritty animations of the 1990s, the game strikes a nostalgic chord while transporting players into a suspense-filled environment. As Ron navigates the claustrophobic space of his apartment, players must solve puzzles and interact with elements that peel back layers of the dark story surrounding Mr. Red Face.
Immersive Features and Artistic Contributions
To deepen player engagement, Bad Parenting introduces a distinctive Fanart Exhibition—a 3D space filled with artwork submitted by fans, creating a unique, interactive gallery that players can explore. This feature celebrates the community’s artistic contributions while blurring the lines between the game world and reality. Additionally, players can tailor their visual experience through four selectable graphic filters and adjustable brightness settings, allowing for a customized gameplay atmosphere. Despite its brief runtime of about 30 minutes, Bad Parenting promises a profound impact, with intense scenes designed to evoke and perhaps challenge one’s memories of fear and folklore from youth.
