Uncover the kidnapper haunting Lakewitch in Horror Tale, a first-person mystery where you fortify tree-houses, solve 90s puzzles and save missing kids. Rated PEGI 12, the scares are intense yet accessible.

How to Play Horror Tale Kidnapper

In this episode, your name is Tom, and you meet your friend Harry, who plans to keep you and the other kids from your neighborhood safe from the Kidnapper while you're waiting for your parents to return.

The story begins with your parents leaving you at home. Your mom leaves you a note, asking to collect eggs from the hen-house and bring them to Tom. While cycling to your meeting point, you’ll encounter the famous Kidnapper…

You'll have to find Tom and, together with him, you will fortify the tree house so the spooky Kidnapper can't get you again. On the way to your goal, puzzles, moments of fear, screams, unexpected twists and turns, and lots of fun await you!

You will experience some jump scares in this story set in rural United States during the ‘90s, but Horror Tale is rated PEGI 12, so it’s very moderate and not as violent as other titles of the same genre.

Locations to discover in Horror Tale Kidnapper:
