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…

About
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.
Traverse your house, climb the cabinets and jump across shelves to find your way.
Pick up and throw items like keys, cranks and beer bottles to solve puzzles.
Push and pull boxes around to create new paths and reach higher spaces.
Sneak around, step lightly to avoid alerting your parents.
Run for the exit. They're onto you!

JUEGAZO 😎👍💛🌟
For a free game that is "inspired by" Little Nightmares, it isn't half bad. It's a little scuffed, and you can definitely bug the game out from time-to-time, but it has it's charms. P.S. Lots of love to Max <3
"The game references alcohol, shows tobacco usage and depicts domestic abuse."

Such ab beautiful game. I loved it. Well done.
Полная копирка стиля и идей Little Nightmares. Интересно, но не понятно почему был сделан такой выбор.
El juego es muy corto me gustaria que saliera una secula para poder saber mas sobre su historia, calificacion 8/10 GG
ücretsiz bir oyuna göre oldukça başarılı tadında bir korku oyunu.
En base a mi experiencia dedicada a estos juegos, donde el terror psicológico destaca e impregna un sentimiento de persecución constante por parte del espectador, puedo referir que este juego es simplemente un GOTY, debería ganar todas las categorías sin discusión alguna. Es algo único, nunca antes visto ¡¿donde se ha visto a una pequeña pesadilla deambular para poder escapar?!, espero que obtenga un tipo de secuela donde pueda estar acompañada.
If the game were paid, I'd say it's just a Little Nightmares clone, but since it's free, I think it's a nice little adventure inspired by Little Nightmares.
As a free game that was made as a school project it had potential, but I must say it's not polished at all. The kid moves like she's skipping frames, enemy AI is too dumb making the game very easy and the jump goes too far. Also the kid's outfit stands out too much comparing to the environment she's in.
