One line: A first-person comedy-horror chase through a British primary school, hand-drawn in rough coloured pencil. The caretaker has confiscated your things. Get all five back and leg it before he catches you.

Description: Your phone goes off in the middle of Mr Reed's Year 6 lesson. Confiscated. He sends you out with the newsletters and a hall pass, which is your excuse to be in the corridors. Take your phone back from the caretaker's office and the pass stops working. Now the caretaker is hunting you. Four more of your things are locked away around the school: a yo-yo, a handheld game, a skateboard and a toy robot. Get them all back, then get out. At the end of a corridor he's a grumpy caretaker; up close his face turns into huge eyes, a toothy grin and red anger marks, then his arms come up to grab you.

Features: five items, one exit, your own route; a clockwork duck, glue and wet floors; dinner ladies, hall passes, a chatterbox, a PE coach, detention; short runs with instant retries, timed to the millisecond, personal bests; four endings; unlockable Dark Mode (torch, red eyes); a library maze with its own shadow creature; Twitch integration - chat votes on what happens to the player, viewer names on lockers and desks, no login.

For creators: recording and streaming encouraged, no embargo, keep your ad revenue. Twitch votes: title screen > Twitch > type your channel name.

Content note: mild horror - a jump scare when caught, a threatening face, flickering lights and a VHS-style glitch during chases. No blood or gore.
