The Grounding

About

You’re trying to sneak six smokes in your house before your mom catches you. Each successful puff raises the stakes as her speed increases. She moves only when you’re not directly facing her so you have to balance quick hits with careful positioning. The challenge grows as you chain smokes together while avoiding her patrols. The tight stealth loop and escalating tension stand out. Players have praised the simple yet clever mechanic of using camera angles to hide from her movements. With a runtime under an hour most playthroughs end in failure or frantic last-second victories. It’s a short but intense test of timing and nerve available on PC for under ten bucks.

Storyline

Sneak around the house and smoke 6 times without getting caught by your mom. The more you smoke, the faster she moves, and she can only move when you are not looking at her. If she gets close enough, she will kill you.
