drunk dad simulator
That intro is brutal.
And this is only for Windows
I've been dying to play this no matter what I have to do but I only own a chromebook
damn, i feel bad for you. i was stuck on a chromebook once, and it took me until december 24th of 2023 to get a laptop that has windows on it.
or can we work something out?
I'm pretty poor so I only have a dollar an 8 cents in my cash app
Can you make a demo for chromebook?
this is so sad because it reminds me of how my childhood was :(
Scary teacher remake
You are Grounded!

(for the demo i'm poor)
Scary Teacher: Remake
is sad
here cuz of yub lol
Really enjoyed it, guys. Here are my thoughts for anyone curious about how the game plays and its themes!
Super jeu, et quel triste situation pour cet enfant...
J'ai hâte de faire le jeu au complet ! ;)
Pretty solid game that tackles dark subject matter while still maintaining some fun genre fare. The physics of jumping and throwing things is really wobbly and frustrating but I appreciate the attempt. Nice to see such an original concept that's not just hide and seek horror and trying for some actual gameplay
please tell me there is a way to bring him back
please tell me you can bring back smelly
i beg you
i cried for hours at this point
How did smelly die?
Idk
acid
he got stuck in the vents and starved to death 😭
tears dropped from my eyes when smelly died. MY NEW CAT IS NAMED SMELLY
R.I.P smelly
Ok so I saw YuB play this and I wanted to play this but my dad would kill me (like the game)
lol same
sad game smelly is makeing me crying :
it is indeed sad that smelly the black cat dies.
omg the part where smelly died had me crying :(
know how you feel. I almost cried. What's really sad is that this stuff has actually happened before. What this father did is called child abuse, which is a felony. Loser parents with narcissistic personality disorder can hurt their kids and beat them with their belts (like whips). What's really unfortunate is that this father is an abusive alcoholic AND has narcissistic personality disorder, so the father would also beat his child over and over again until he foolishly kills the poor creature. It's disgusting and evil, but kids with terrible parents die this way all the time. The father even beat him when he was dealing with the loss of smelly the cat's death. In the meantime, Stay away from beer, drugs, and alcohol, Sharko.
heehee hoohoo smelly
smelly doe 😢😢
Yeah, but smelly is in a better place now, waiting for us to join him.
that being said, we will see him again.
poor smelly
this game was great, very sad but great job! Hope to see more in the future :)
I love this game so much but pls make it free thanks if you get this message
What happens if you ground the cat?
I don't really know, because I never really tried it, but it probably looks down at the ground and lets out an apologizing "meow..."
game so laggy and i dont like the motion blur but the game is good
please can you make this game free?
Get the demo and save up to buy it. Developers put a lot of hard work into their projects. It's not fair to ask this of them.
Ok
i kinda wanna know how the cat died in the vents and when the child cries makes my heart melt slowly
because I know how it feels to lose a loved one. But some times you just gotta get over it y,know?
maybe its because he spat acid at the vent and it might've gotten onto the cat
oh yeah when smelly got hit by acid it probably ran to the end of the vents before succumbing to its death
yeah how did he die in the vents? he didnt stay there for too long i think so he wouldnt have had died of starvation.
i hate the dad for killing the cat i wish the kid backfired and threw a knife at the dad for revenge
me too like the dad was the first video game character i actually hated for real
in one of the endings, the kid melted him with acid
tbh, this is soooo sad i cried like 3 times, this has put new perspective on me and really just changed my mood to depressed, Questions...
1. How did the cat die? the cat has blood on it signifying that it was cut or something, but what was in the vent
2. Will there be a sequel? I would pay a whole $70 for A packed of this game in a series where the kid eventually defeats the father (or other evil horrible no good, sad person) also bring cat and don't hit it with bat :(
3. How old is the kid? Because by the height you play as does not match the voice but i cannot complain, also when the kids crying that scares me with tears,
4. Can you escape the basement if you leave when the father opens the door?
I have a theory in the replies read if you want :) thanks for good game
My theory is that the son is human but got powers off multiple objects and creature, obviously this would not actually work but yeah,
the first idea was the cockroaches, "dog food" and just condition,
as you see the cockroaches from the fridge flood the place and as you can also see the kid eats them, leaving me to believe he ate them all and with their special abilities, he gained them overtime when he ate more, and the rest says the rest, and also his green stool is, just mutant looking, leaving me also to believe there might be radiation near, as he grows he keeps getting more making him last longer, when he escapes he might grow into a legend to come down in history
Sincerly,
Zacky
P.S Loved the game, Hate the dad, revive cat, never hit with bat, find map, eat tree sap, and finally leave kid crack jacks, seriously the kid crying was so sad and morbid I took me headphones the 2nd time just so I would not cry, dad BAD BAD BAD BAD BAAAAD
I would pay like 100 dollar just to get and ending where you get out with the cat
would have actually liked the game if you could escape with the cat :/ I was depressed for 5 hours
We are sorry to hear that. However, we hope you enjoyed the game anyway! *sending virtual hug*
This game was so sad I almost cried
and I don't really understand but how in the hell did smelly die
this legit made me tear up at the time smelly died. an amazing game btw
Thank you! We hope you enjoyed the game
It would be a lot cooler if we was father hitting a child with an Bat.
overall great game.
uh.. I guess so you could see the "monster"?
That to... But I would love to be the abusive father
your just sad, ngl
Well that does say that on my user... so Yeah!
