Be There

Submission for the 2026 GMTK Game Jam

Be There is heavily inspired by FNAF.  I have only beaten normal mode. Hard mode can probably be beaten but is very hard. I honestly don't know if insane mode can be beaten.

(The intro seems to be a big buggy)

How To Play:

Every character is associated with some kind of countdown or timer. When the countdown/timer reach 0 (you should prevent the timer from reaching 0 for one character), you have to be looking at the character. You don't need to be there before 0 and you can actually be a bit late based on the character.

You can tell which character to be looking at based on their voice and volume since the volume of the count is louder when you are looking at the correct camera.

If you don't look at them, they get angry. Don't worry, characters usually give you two chances.

Controls:

Flick your mouse down to look at cameras and flick down again to drop the cameras

LMB to click on specific cameras and buttons

F to exit night

Character Guides (Spoilers if you want to figure out the mechanics yourself):

Creep: Creep is in your vent and visible in the starting camera. He is the only character whose timer can be prevented from reaching 0. However, if you do reach 0, you immediately lose. Pressing the ADD button for 1 second allows 2 seconds to be added to his countdown. Pressing the XADD button for 5 seconds allows 15 seconds to be added to his countdown.

Pucky: He counts down from 5 and is visible in Cam 1. He's very lenient with his show timing.

Lucky: He quickly counts down from 7 and is visible in Cam 2. He's not so lenient with his show timing

Rat: It is mute and instead counts down from 1247 insanely quickly with his sign. It is in your room.

Jerry: They give a notice about in how long their show will start but won't actually count down to it. Make sure to keep them in your mind. They are in Cam 3.

Abraham Lincoln: He appears in cam 4 and counts down VERY slowly from 3. He only gives you one chance to show up at his show so you should prioritize him. He is very strict with his timing.

Willow: Willow first appears in cam 4. However when she starts counting from 10, she will go to a random camera (never Creep's camera) where you have to find her and watch her show when the countdown hits 0.
