A downloadable game for Windows

You’ve had five belongings confiscated. Get them back. Get out. Don’t let the caretaker catch you.

CONFISCATED! is a first-person comedy-horror game set in a strange British school. What begins as an ordinary classroom errand becomes a frantic escape through corridors patrolled by an increasingly unsettling caretaker.

Recover your phone, yo-yo, handheld game, skateboard and toy robot. Find useful tools, choose your route, create distractions and break a few school rules, but make too much noise or get spotted where you shouldn’t be, and the caretaker will come looking.

Features

  • A school illustrated in rough coloured pencil and crayon
  • Fast stealth and pursuit gameplay
  • Tools, locked areas, hazards and limited distractions
  • Four endings, timed runs and personal bests
  • Unlockable Dark Mode with a torch and new dangers
  • Twitch integration: chat votes can help or sabotage your run
  • Viewer names appear on lockers and desks
  • British-school humour with mild horror and no gore

Runs are short and retries instant; Dark Mode and four endings are waiting after your first escape.

Streaming it?

Press Twitch on the title screen and type your channel name. That’s it, no login. Every 45 seconds or so your chat votes on what happens to you: lights out, spill a drink, glue your shoes down, teleport you, or straight to detention. Turn on “Chat can help” and they can give you a tea break instead.

Recording and streaming are encouraged. No embargo, keep your ad revenue.

Playtest build

This is the whole game, free while it’s in playtest. The full release is coming to Steam, where it will be paid.

  • Windows, keyboard and mouse
  • English text and subtitles

Please leave a comment with any bugs, confusing moments, performance problems, or places where you became stuck. If you escaped, the time on your results screen is useful too.
