Just take out the trash. How scary could it be?

In this short psychological horror game, you step into the shoes of a child tasked with a seemingly mundane chore: taking out the trash at night. Yet, as you venture into the darkness, the line between reality and nightmare blurs, and your vivid imagination conjures up horrors beyond comprehension.

Hello the owner of the game. I am iix_FranK Gaming 🇹🇭 on YouTube and my nickname is Frank. I will come to encouragement comment for your only because this game is interesting. although nobody comes to your comment, I am willing to help encourage your Horror game and another English that we can only speak each part of the vocabulary phrase that is remembered, but may not speak English like any other person, Because I'm not good at speaking English. except I speak (ภาษาไทย/Thai language) and you may not be able to listen to our (ภาษาไทย/Thai language) because most of people don't have to read my language, but you don't have to read our language. it's no problem. because I just came to cheer up your horror game and your design game is So Cool which is better than encouraging your game in case you continue to develop the game, hopefully you'll see this comment and make you glad and happy.

I liked the game, the atmosphere, and the graphics even though they are simple make the whole game tense, you did a great job with it

Gameplay PT-BR

Could have been the first to play but i decided to wait and now im here nice game

We’re taking out the trash with this one!! 🗣️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥

my friend made me play this completely blind, she's going to pay for it

overall, great game.

fun game check out the video i made

Cool. I love how the graphics are, they make it much more creepier. Also never thought I'd be scared because of a bin. Lol

Its a good game!! The story line is kind of predictable, but its fun!

Pretty good. I enjoyed the creepy build up throughout. A lot of not really knowing where the next thing was coming from until the end.

I kept dying to the monster :(

Well if your still having trouble, you have to back away and then he'll disappear and won't appear till later

  

Had some fun with it! Was a bit repetitive at times, but still cool!

The overall pacing in this game was shockingly great. A lot of different types of concepts to scare the player that got gradually more intense were done and I really appreciated that. I'm not fully sure why we're taking out the trash at like Midnight every single night but if we ignore that and the closing 10-15 seconds (I think the final sequence wasn't really fitting with the rest of the game) there is something great here.

Never thought i'd see the day, jumpscared by a trash bin. Obviously a silly horror game but still managed to frighten you when you least expect it. If taken seriously, this could have been a truly terrifying experience. Great job !

I made a video on your game if you're interested :)

Hello everyone it is me Sam, the friend who was the unfortunate soul that this game was created for. What do I have to say about this traumatizing experience? First, the goose bumps on my body have grown so large that I am weighed down by there tremendous weight. Second, my body temperature has gone down so low that my I feel like I am made out of ice. Last, my bowels are moving and it looks to be another diarrhea epidemic inbound. I am headed to the toilet as we speak to hopefully crap out my fears and return back into the man I once was. I do not know if I will ever be able to take out the trash again.... The doughnut mans eyes are watching. Not even an ice cold pop can save me. Old time hawkey please hear my cries!!!! Save me Buddy. With an great hello

Hello Buddy, I am here to give you a warning. This game is incredible but it is also scary enough to make the bravest of company men shiver in their timbers. Ever since I have played this game, I have been too afraid to take my trash out in real life. Mountains upon mountains of trash bags are filling my hallways. I have to go through an obstacle course just to reach my damn bathroom. And the smell... you haven't though about the SMELL! It is too late for me. I have accepted my life as the trashman but there is still time for you. Run while you can!

then take out your fucking trash during the day

You buffoon, do you really think it is that simple? The trash is piled to the ceiling. My house hasn't seen natural light in DAYS! I have no way of knowing when it is day or night (except on Tuesdays when Stacy comes over to pick me up for Pilates). And I know what you're going to say: "WhY NoT TaKe It OuT On TuEsDaY?" I AM NOT MISSING PILATES JUST TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH. No the only logical choice is to live this way for the rest of my days.

just clean lol 

(pilates is crazy)

Truly amazing, a feat of modern engineering with nostalgic ps1 graphics and a task so gut-wrenchingly familiar that it would scare any of us. Keep the porch light on at home boys and double knot those bags.

Bro, it's SO COOL!!

Thanks so much for playing! I feel like the last level could use some work, but I am happy with how everything turned out.
