Don’t Let Her In

Don’t Let Her In is a short, Game Boy-style indie horror game that delves into body horror and psychological fear. With lo-fi pixel art reminiscent of classics like Faith, the experience uses minimalism to maximum effect—creating unease not through sudden jump scares but through silence, choice, and decay.

Don’t Let Her In Game Story?

You play as a child, alone at home after your father mysteriously disappears. Weeks pass, and the only thing he leaves behind is a note: “Don’t let her in.” But as hunger gnaws at your stomach and whispers scratch at your windows, the line between memory and monster begins to blur.
Who is “her”?
What happens if you open the door?

Your decisions — eat or starve, obey or defy — lead you down a path of unsettling transformation. There are no sudden scares. Just quiet horror creeping under your skin.

FAQs

1. Does the game have an ending or is it endless?

This is the part that players are divided on. Some say they saw the “ending” after week 6. But others insist that the game never ends. It just moves to another dimension.

2. Does the game have scares?

Yes, but it's subtly combined with an oppressive atmosphere and haunting sounds. Not the flashy kind – but the kind that makes you afraid to open the next door.

3. I got lost in week 3, unable to find the door to the next week. Any tips?

Listen. Occasionally, you'll hear breathing... that's not yours. Follow that sound. It often leads to something you need – or something you never wanted to encounter.

Don't Let Her In isn't just a survival game – it's a psychological experiment disguised as pixels. You start out as a lost person. But as you go deeper, you fear not the distorted figures but that you're becoming like them. After all, no one has ever come back from that maze intact. The question isn't "Can you get out?".
