It’s Christmas 1998. The world’s most annoying toy just came out, and yours won’t stay in his box. Can you stop Tattletail from getting you in trouble before the bloodthirsty Mama Tattletail hunts you down? Story-driven first person horror. New DLC Included!

Set in a home in the days before Christmas 1998, Tattletail casts you as a child who has opened a talking toy early. Its mother hunts through the house, turning an ordinary holiday setting into a first-person horror scenario.
Complete nighttime tasks while keeping Tattletail fed, brushed, and charged. Its demands can make it noisy, and recharging your flashlight means shaking it, so you must balance caring for the toy with staying quiet around Mama.
The story advances across nights leading up to Christmas, with objectives, hidden eggs, and secrets to find. The included Kaleidoscope expansion adds an additional story experience.
Players often enjoy the game's nostalgic Christmas setting, creepy atmosphere, and suspense built around caring for a noisy toy while avoiding Mama. Reviews also praise the sound design and the tension created by managing the toy and flashlight. Some players find the experience short or have little reason to replay it, while others note that particular stealth sections can be challenging.
