$7.99Tattletail Keep the toy quiet
A short first-person horror story about caring for a talking toy at Christmas while something in the dark listens for noise.
Is Tattletail worth it?
Tattletail is worth it if…
- you like horror built on listening and staying quiet rather than fighting back
- you have a soft spot for 90s toys, VHS-era nostalgia and things that are cute and cursed at once
- you want a short, story-driven scare you can finish in an evening or two
- you enjoy tense games where one careless sound turns a calm night into a chase

A toy that will not stay in his box
You opened your Tattletail early, and now he has opinions. He demands to be fed, brushed and recharged, and if you slack off he will never shut up. The trouble is that every one of his needs makes noise, and noise is exactly what you cannot afford. The toy is adorable and completely shameless about it, which is half the joke: you end up scolding a squeaking furball to please, please be quiet while something downstairs listens. Keeping him happy until Christmas day is the whole game, and it is harder than it sounds.
Every sound you make counts
The core trick is noise management. Your flashlight needs shaking to recharge, and shaking it makes noise. When the house gets too dark, Tattletail gets loud, so you have to charge the light, which makes a little noise of its own. Mama Tattletail hunts by sound, so the game keeps putting you in spots where staying safe and staying quiet pull in opposite directions. Later nights get genuinely difficult, and the tension builds beautifully: you creep through the dark, the toy chirps, and you freeze and wait to see if she heard it too.
