PETAPETA: School of Nightmares

PETAPETA: School of Nightmares is a stealth-based horror puzzle game set in a haunted elementary school filled with cursed dolls, impossible architecture, and shadow creatures that chase anything that moves. You play as a small student trying to escape this ever-changing nightmare—armed only with tape, instinct, and a backpack full of broken tools.

Hide, Tape, Survive

The core mechanic revolves around stealth and strategic use of “PETAPETA tape,” a mystical adhesive that can be used to temporarily stop enemies, mend broken furniture, or seal cursed doors. Every area of the school presents new challenges—moving hallways, blood-painted chalkboards, and puzzles that change based on how you solve them. Monsters are attracted by noise, and each creaking floorboard or slammed locker may alert something in the dark.

• Cursed dolls wander the halls aimlessly, their heads spinning or limbs twitching at odd angles. If they spot you, they rush with jerking, glitchy motion.
• The blackboard beasts emerge when incorrect answers are scrawled onto chalkboards.
• The janitor’s ghost stalks silently and can only be seen in reflections.

Environmental Horror That Evolves

The school layout isn’t fixed. After each level or failed attempt, classrooms may swap places, desks will block old exits, and new enemies can appear. PETAPETA adapts to your tactics, subtly shifting to keep you unsettled. You might solve a math puzzle one round only to find it rewritten with nonsense symbols the next. Keeping your mental map up to date becomes part of the challenge.

Solving While Hunted

To escape each floor, you’ll need to solve environmental riddles while evading threats. Some puzzles require sacrificing items, while others test your timing—using tape to delay a creature just long enough to input a code or unlock a cursed door. Tape is limited, so conserving it becomes crucial to survival.

PETAPETA: School of Nightmares is ideal for players who love fast-paced horror with logic-based puzzles, where every step forward brings new unease. Expect a mixture of eerie atmosphere, real-time strategy, and unforgettable nightmare fuel that lingers long after the game ends.
