IVY

All you have to do is look after the dog.

Your friend is away for five days, leaving you his house, a list of chores, and Ivy.

Play fetch, explore the lovely woods, and settle in for an old movie together. Don’t believe her when she insists she hasn’t had dinner.

Then the nightmares begin.

Letters and old local accounts might help explain what’s happening. But morning still comes, and Ivy still needs you.

IVY is a single-player, first-person horror game starring the real Ivy (who was totally extremely cooperative).

Features

• Feed, pet, and play fetch and hide-and-seek with Ivy.
• Explore the house, woods, library, and dog park.
• Uncover clues and discover two endings.
• A low-poly world featuring photographs of the real Ivy.
