Description: It’s 11pm, and you are at the last house on your route. The lights are on, and the front door is opened. But, the windows are all boarded up and the grass is overgrown. It seems like a strange place to deliver a pizza, but at least, it looks like someone is home. You run to the front door since it’s storming pretty bad. “Hello!? Your pizza’s here!” You announce. No one answers. There’s an eerie silence.

You are getting soaked from the rain, so you hesitantly step inside the door and look around. The front door suddenly closes behind you. You just wanted to finish this last delivery and head home for the night. Now you must figure out how to get out of this stupid creepy house. Freely roam the house and try to figure out what is going on. Three dolls and a strange girl named Emily will also start roaming the house as the hour’s toll by. Stay away from them, but if you do end up in a room with one, figure out how to stay alive. This may be your last pizza delivery.

Review: You play the role of a pizza delivery driver. You turn up at the house,walk in looking for the house owner and BAM!…the door shuts behind you. You are then stuck in a house with 3 dolls and a very scary looking girl called Emily. Sadly for you, she doesn’t want to pay for the pizza, she wants to play a very scary game of hide and seek.

You roam around the house using the joypad and can interact with various things, including several rather scary drawings and writings from Emily herself. You need to find a way out and survive against all the odds. With jump scares at just about every given occasion, this is not a game for those with weak hearts or overactive imaginations.

While there is a sad little story to go with this game, it is mostly about giving you as many jump scares as it can. Right from the off the atmosphere is dark and creepy. putting you on edge within the first few moments. By the time you have explored a few rooms and hallways your nerves will be a wreck. Featuring well-timed sounds that will distract you of the jump scare that is loading beside of you, this is a game that is best not played if you have a weak heart.
