About Bad Parenting
Bad Parenting follows Ron as a familiar childhood story begins to explain something far more disturbing about his family. Mr. Red Face is said to visit well-behaved children with gifts, but the events Ron witnesses challenge that reassuring version. This short horror narrative depends on attention to conversations, objects and changes in the home. The useful question is often what a detail means in context, rather than how quickly you can get to the next room.
How to Play Bad Parenting
Getting Started
- Explore Ron's surroundings and inspect objects when an interaction is available.
- Read conversations before moving on so later events retain their context.
- Return to the space the story directs you toward and examine what has changed.
