Keep Them Out

A horror game made for the Lil Horror Gamejam 2026.

You play as a young boy staying home alone when a containment breach happened. Your parents can't return home during the night and you are left to fend for yourself (alongside your friend Ted on the phone). Try and survive until morning! 

Controls: wasd or arrow keys for movement. Interactions using E and/or F. Minigames require mouse and spacebar. Hold shift to run.

Headphones are recommended for audio cues.

Hard Mode doubles the difficulty! Is it even possible?

Tips: If you are stuck, read these!

• Remember to lock the door behind you!
• The presence inside your house won't kill you immediately, maybe you can run past it if you're fast enough.
• It's probably safe to ignore a phone call once in a while.
  • But if you do it too much, Ted might not survive! And then the monsters' attention is all on you
• Whatever is trying to break in outside has to unlock the entrance doors first, maybe that would give you a bit more time?
