Our take on You Are Grounded
Rather than building toward a long horror campaign, the game compresses its premise into an approximately 50-minute first-person episode. It also places a domestic punishment scenario and a Halloween activity alongside the pursuit by a killer clown.
What is You Are Grounded?
This first-person psychological horror game follows a teenager whose parents confine him to his room and arrange for a nanny to supervise him.
Outside, Halloween is underway, while a television report announces that a murderous clown has escaped from prison. The player investigates the house, finds and uses objects, listens to dialogue, and follows clues through the story while trying to survive the night. The game combines horror with action and includes a Halloween pumpkin-making activity. Its presentation uses realistic graphics and sound design to support the dark setting. The approximate completion time is 50 minutes.
