About Matilda


Matilda: A Nightmare Begins at Home

What happens when the safest location on earth becomes a terrible trap? Matilda is a claustrophobic psychological horror game where a tranquil night babysitting turns into a fight for survival.

The dark secret beneath the bed

The story begins on the anniversary of your parents' death. With your elder sister Matilda left in charge, the homely setting is quickly broken once both you and Matilda’s curiosity get the better of you, and you find an obscure game tucked away beneath a bed. This apparently harmless finding awakens, unwittingly, an evil force in the house. However, Matilda’s soothing smiles soon turn into unsettling, unpredictable behaviour. She’s been taken by a terrible creature, and you must explore the dark corners of your own home to escape the terrifying truth.

Become an Expert in Silent Survival

Matilda is a master at creating tremendous psychological stress by taking away your power to fight back. Every step is a calculated risk since danger can strike without warning.

  • Track the Unknown: Find supernatural beings with a specialised radar device. But beware – following the signal pushes you up against the precise danger you are attempting to evade.
  • Nostalgic Dread: A deeply disturbing atmosphere rendered in retro PSX-style graphics and with creepy VHS visual effects.
  • Rewarding Exploration: The core tale is a lean 30-45 minute journey, but there are hidden mysteries and dynamic scares that provide great reasons to revisit the nightmare.

Basic Survival Controls

You have to learn to manoeuvre well enough to get through this scary place and not get caught. Here are the fundamental commands you need to survive:

  • Mouse Cursor: Look Around
  • Move: Arrow Keys / WASD
  • Sprint: Modify
  • Sneak: B
  • E: Pick Up/Drop Item
  • Throw Item: Left Mouse
  • Task: Q

If you were in a haunted house and you had an unpredictable menace like Matilda, would you want to go fast to get your objectives done, or slow to creep and analyse your surroundings?
