I wasn't expecting the supernatural angle, but I'm not against it here. Monstrous bat child or not, the kid doesn't deserve any of this nightmarish life. I'm glad the best ending is just where you escape, refusing to seek revenge proves the kid is better than his horrible father. And hey, being the local cryptid as you chill with a bunch of cats isn't the worst fate.

In all seriousness the poop mechanic is actually pretty tragic and true to life. Abused children often display behaviours associated with playing with feces, either eating it or smearing it on the walls. Obviously not every kid who does it is necessarily being abused, but that behaviour is heavily associated with abuse victims.

I think him turning monstrous is a metaphor for how, because the father treated him like a beast - inhuman - he didn't feel human anymore and his mindset degraded through the brutal isolation and starvation. He could always make the choice to become a monster (act like his father) or to escape without engaging, but he could never choose to become human, so far removed from what he feels is "normal".

Fr, I actually screamed.

This is hard to watch. I can relate to the fear. I remember the first time I slammed my door cause I was frustrated and I remember hearing him stomp upstairs so fast. I backed into a corner as he practically ripped my door open and grabbed my wrist. I was so scared, I begged him not to punish me. I was crying, my wrist felt like it was twisting, burning. It didnt bruise but I did have redness. Ive coped by playing music really loud and crying in my pillow so no one would hear. When doors slammed I jumped, scared he would think it was me, I always opened my door, apologizing for something that wasnt my fault or to let him know it wasn't me. I was so scared of it happening again, sometimes I curl myself in a corner, hoping he wouldnt think it was me. It worked, I never slammed a door ever again and my fear of my dad continued to increase. I was 13. Now, 20 years later, I still jump when doors slam apologies. Even when I didnt do it. It's an automatic reaction I cant really stop, I just kinda live with it. He never apologized or realised what that did to me and I dont have the energy to bring it up so I just kinda live with it now. In case your wondering, no, it unfortunately wasnt the only time. His rage always got the better of him, even if he meant well. Be very careful how you treat children, even teens. What you think is in your right to act or treat them may scar them mentally for life. It sticks, is doesnt go away and they have to live with it. Weather it was your best intentions or not.

I really like the endings. The first ending shows how some children of abuse separate themselves from their abuser/s and are able to heal and be themselves in a safe environment. The second shows how others cause the cycle of abuse. They do not learn from the horrors they had been inflicted upon and do not deal with their trauma and instead lash out and become abusive themselves. The last one I think is the most tragic one, some victims don’t make it out alive. They are just killed off literally or metaphorically by their abuser/s Also the bat boy thing is literal but I like to think of it as a metaphor. Abusers usually convince us that we are inherently wrong and are undeserving of their “love”. Also such traumatic experiences shape us into who we are. In the beginning bat boy is referred to as a monster. But he isn’t, he’s a child with an abusive parent who is negligent or downright physically abusive. Survivors have to try and change the effects their environment have had on them. We all go from thinking about ourselves as a “monster” to just bat boy.

Before the actual endings I had the feeling all the powers were his imagination and you'd get different a ending depending on whether you avoided making noise and getting bonked, but surprisingly it was all real. Kinda hoped your actions mid-game mattered more instead of just choosing an ending at the very last part, but overall really interesting game.

I was thinking the same until the kids threw a brick in the basement window with a note calling the kid a freak and mocking him for his mother being dead. Just felt very weird for them to do that.

Jesus, this game is heart-breaking and, in some aspects, hauntingly real. The pace of the game made you feel for the kid as you delve into his imagination to keep some form of sanity. Then there's Smelly. His only friend in the world. When you found Smelly, I audibly gasped and found myself crying with him. Rarely do games invoke raw emotions like that from me.

This reminds me a lot of Kafka’s “Metamorphosis,” both from the obvious transformation and cockroaches but also how the boy transformed.

I found myself flinching every time the father swung the bat. I've been in a slight state of dissociation and only near the end did i realise I've been shutting down and begin crying. I won't say I've been in this kids exact position. but i know what it's like to lose all hope and to know there is nothing you can do while the adults in your life can do whatever they wanted to you and no one would listen or care. I know what it's like to be shunned and beaten and made to feel like i'm a freak not deserving of love. I know what its like to be locked in a small room as punishment. And even though i experienced emotional ,psychological, physical, and sexual abuse as a child i still say abuse is abuse and i don't believe any kind should be okay you grow up scarred from that. But still i appreciate games like this covering such topics especially from the eyes of the victim. It hopefully helps others to understand what some kids go through.

Oh wow can't believe I got to play this game with early access as a kid.

This was horribly disturbing because of the brutal truth to it. The inhumanity of it all is some next level ish. I really enjoyed it for all the wrong reasons and this was your best one I've ever seen. We need more horror games like this that work on relating and subconscious rather than jump scares. These types of game angles are truly horrifying.

The fact that skme kids have to live like this makes it even more upsetting

There's actually a lot I love about this game. For one thing, it's interesting to see someone use the idea of a full game (or at least the majority of it) taking place in one room, without that being PT inspired or something done before. Instead of coming back to the same thing over and over, you really do get that feeling of containment and isolation, as if besides from the window the kids never been allowed to see the world. Secondly, I love the playstyle of this, it's so unique! The feeling of gradually becoming stronger and more monstrous as the game progresses helps the flow a lot and makes a lot of unique mechanics you gain over time. It really feels like you're becoming harder and harder to contain with each moment, and that adds to the atmosphere. Thirdly, the fact this creators first language isn't English is both surprising and... Honestly, good? I kind of like how the English used in this is a bit different from how people typically speak English. I know that sounds weird but from the perspective of a weird kid who's been trapped in a basement with nothing but cockroaches and a ball for God knows how long, it actually works well at adding to the feeling of alienation and isolation. Like as a whole, I just love this game. It seems so unique and interesting and I hope to see more from this guy in the future.

Doubtful. Given how Smelly is the causation for Bat Boy's choice to finally rebel against his father. Smelly was his only friend and when he got chained down; that inability to save his only friend flew him into a sorrow-addled rage. Briefly able to fight back and left at the impasse. Rage: Bat Boy snaps and fights back against his abusive captor. Killing his father and reconciles that NOBODY will ever hurt him again. Leaving the basement and becomes a monster of hatred and rage. The children he killed no doubt were the same ones who threw eggs and bricks at his basement window. Freedom: Bat Boy saw Smelly's signs and took his way out. The cat was able to escape whether in a dream or momentary pause and he flees his father. With freedom so close and he was able to use his strange adaptations. He carves a life for him away from all pain and hatred. With his crayons, his flashlight, and many cats whom he cherishes as deeply as he did Smelly. Captive: Bat Boy either was paralyzed with fear, uncertainty.. or merely was too slow to his escape. His father returns with a gun and executes him and himself. Putting an end to the child's captivity in the worst way imaginable. Death is the only true escape and Bat Boy would never taste freedom or a life of joy...

Straight from the beginning, I could tell the kid wasn't "normal" per say. You could hear skittering as he walks, signaling many legs(like an insect.) The rest of him developing powers was a result of his abuse speeding his rapid growth. If the father would have just showed him loved. The child could have grown to be amazing and outdone regular humans.
