Escape the Baby Alarm

Escape the Baby Alarm is a cozy, escape room-inspired puzzle game that explores the chaos and love of becoming a new parent. Built from my (hello, it’s me Julie, the developer!) own experience, the game is a love letter to parenthood. It's an era defined by love and connection, but also extreme sleep deprivation, questionable hygiene standards, and the superpower of functioning on 2% battery with a baby in one hand and a cold coffee in the other. Solve quirky puzzles that test your practicality and emotional bandwidth. Avoid getting sunscreen on your toothbrush, search for your shoes in the fridge, and "accidentally" smash a box of chocolates in exhaustion-fuelled frustration. Feel the dream-like state of a sleep-deprived parent with colourful, surrealist art. Every illustration is hand-drawn to capture the struggles and small, absurd joys of parenthood. Use logic to untangle contradictory advice, that people (mostly well-intentioned) love to give new parents. Take the tips that are helpful, leave the rest behind, and remember that sometimes the best way forward isn't to solve anything, but to let it be. This is a story about how becoming a parent changes you, and the process of your own rebirth. It’s about letting go of your old identity and slowly finding strength in a new, expanded, slightly more tired but also more resilient version of yourself. Escape the Baby Alarm tells a heartfelt, thought-provoking, and gently chaotic story about the reality of parenthood where pride, worry, love, and exhaustion melt together.
