What is Boogeyman?
This single-player, first-person horror game takes place in a house stalked by a nighttime creature. You survive successive nights until dawn by watching its hiding places, listening for movement, and using a flashlight to repel it. Lights fail and weather interferes with visibility and sound, while searching the house can uncover supplies such as glow sticks, cherry bombs, and coffee.
