A downloadable game for Windows


Renting a house near the beach is the dream. A great view, no noise, no neighbors for miles and no way out. After all who would want to leave their comfy beach house? Right?
....right?

STEAM VERSION NOW AVAILABLE

The Steam version includes new content and features, such as achievements. We've also added a zine DLC with more information about the world of Rental!

Controls:

  • Arrows or WASD to move
  • Space to interact

With the spooky season upon us,  Smarto Club decided to take a break from being wholesome and turned spookyo with Rental, an eerie game about the risks of renting beach houses.

So cute and perfectly creepy! 

I knew this game would have dark vibes, but I wasn't expecting to get actually spooked! Nice job! Loved looking for all the ritual objects while being followed and finding all the achievements

So well made very adorable characters! Recorded a video of me playing this and also another game hope you enjoy!

This is if animal crossing met horror. Oh my god I am in love. I loved how the second playthrough changed everything. I always love games that make you play/think again. Not to mention the humor was realistic for a blunt child who hates her little sibling which made it that much funnier.

I will say though the green tv filter with the shadow happens more than I would like. It wouldn't really be that much of an issue if I could still move when it showed up, or if it actually did something to you that made it scary, but you just kinda freeze in place and makes the game longer than it has to be. Other than that I have no complaints!

A great cute horror game. I would recommend it for sure.

Honestly though that landlord was a creep. I don't care what anyone says. He was weird.

Fun, Short, Love the art style, Halo Choir? Here's my playthrough if anyone's interested!

5/10

The dialogue is fun but that's about it :( It felt like the controls and locked camera angle were actively working against me at all times, and the ending was anticlimactic.

I finally got the chance to play this game and it was a nice short game with some good spooks. Perfect for the spooky month being around the corner.

¡10/10! Juego muy simpático y original.

Pero a la vista está que el Señor del alfiler es un inútil si una niña de 8 años gestiona «el asunto» mejor que él, adulto funcional. LMAO!

The cutest horror game with a lot of Sass <3

cute, fun, well-made. 

All in all a great little game! 

However i would personally add a few "cheap spooks" here and there to tense up the player a little. Noises and whatnot. 

Otherwise i have nothing to say! 5/5 great work!

Me and my audience LOVED this! <3 creepy but cute, my fav genre of horror games
(+1)

This was absolutely cute, great job.

5/5

It's such a cute little game but I had some difficulty with a glitch with the secret room triggering- after I fixed that, it worked out!

It was a nice little experience and Im liking how people are combining cute/creepy genres together now!! Recommend others giving it a shot as well :)

This is a fun short horror game that gives animal crossing meets nightmares kind of art style. The cameras are not adjustable so it does take some time to get use to. I would love to see more of the lore within this game but overall is very fun with a satisfying ending

Short and sweet! Nice vibe :)
