Description: Step into the eerie world of "Secret of the Orphanage", where your task seems simple—make beds for the children under your care. But as Halloween night looms, a secret threatens the peace: monsters rise from the beds if they are not perfectly made. This interactive experience challenges you to defend the orphanage by mastering an unusual set of actions beyond typical game mechanics. Using a custom interface designed for the Xbox Adaptive Controller, you’ll perform specific, immersive tasks to prepare the beds. The controller itself is shaped like a bed, with four corner buttons to place the sheet, a button for fluffing the pillow, and even a button for placing the pillow. As you race against time to protect the children before they go to bed, your skill at managing the orphanage’s beds will be the key to survival. Will you uncover the truth behind the orphanage's dark secret, or will the monsters prevail?
This game was shown at the Bit Bridge Pittsburgh Indie Devs’s Halloween Showcase 2024.
