What is Locks?

Locks is a single-player, side-scrolling horror puzzle-platformer set in a puppet show, where the threat pursues the spectator rather than the puppet. You guide a puppet through rooms, solving puzzles by moving, rotating, flipping, and zooming props or entire scenes. Boss encounters include a Ferris wheel and a giant jaw.

For you if...

+you enjoy dark fairy tales that turn into psychological horror
+you like working out each room's rules with little guidance

Not for you if...

−you want platforming action rather than frequent puzzle solving
