Loyal Guardian

The child knows there’s a monster under their bed; however, they perceive it as their protective guardian against unseen threats.

Instead of being petrified, what happens when a child forms an unlikely alliance with their supposed terror? Just how far is this monster willing to go to shield the child from harm? This route allows you to play with an unconventional angle and dive into themes of unexpected friendships and the transformation of fear into guardianship. Each night, the terrible monster becomes the darkest protector. How does this change our traditional understanding of horror and fear?
