About

There's no place like home - and yours is no home at all. Play as Rosa, a neglected child trying to escape her abusive family. Sneak out, but be ever so quiet. Mom is listening, dad is angry, and your big sister is always watching…

Notice

This game was made for educational purposes at The Game Assembly in Malmö. The game is completely free and will remain so forever. As with all games at The Game Assembly, a reference game is used as a starting point for production. Step Lightly was inspired by Little Nightmares.

About the Game

You wake at midnight with just one thing on your mind: you have to leave. Move quietly through a messy house, find a friend along the way, and escape your monstrous family.

Step Lightly is a short puzzle-platformer horror game. It was made in 9 weeks by Water Leaks Studio - a team of 20 students from The Game Assembly Malmö.
