Bad Parenting is a short indie horror game that takes players on a chilling journey through childhood trauma and fear. Built with minimal graphics and maximum atmosphere, this free-to-play experience has gained attention for its emotional depth and disturbing simplicity.

THE STORY BEGINS…

In Bad Parenting, you play as Ron, a young boy who wakes up one night in his apartment… but something is off. The walls feel too quiet. The air feels too still. And then, there’s Mr. Red Face: a strange, looming figure that might be a bedtime story gone terribly wrong… or something far more personal.

As you move through Ron’s small home, you’ll uncover clues, strange sounds, and eerie visuals that hint at something dark and hidden. This isn't just a typical horror game. It’s a story about fear that doesn’t fade with age, and a child's way of making sense of something they were never meant to understand.
