The toilet bowl is home to nothing more than water the bathtub murderer in the mirror relegated to a figment of the imagination. Suddenly, what was once a snarling mound of fangs is just a slightly stinky pile of clothes. Then, one day, the child's mother buys and installs several nightlights. Then, there's the act of flushing, and those few brief seconds where the water drains and the tentacles rise up from the pipes (for there are always tentacles in the pipes…)

The bathroom mirror is a shadowy portal to another world, where men in dingy raincoats and rusty hooks for hands lie in wait behind the shower curtain. For a child in the night, that heap of dirty clothes in the corner suddenly becomes dark camouflage for a crouched monster, lurking with dripping fangs. WTF Why is Daniel mute? He's monologuing in flashbacks the entire time!ĭarkness is a powerful thing.

HIGH Those first three hours of gameplay were the most terrified I have been of a game in my life. In Hindsight, I Should Have Named the Dog Toto
