Games that watch you back

We make you flinch.

About Fliinch

Fliinch is an independent studio making games that watch you back: horror you can finish in one sitting, replay for the parts you missed, and think about with the lights off.

We’re based in Toronto. Every game is designed and directed by the studio’s founder and built in-house, each with its own world, its own monsters and its own rules. Everything we make is free to play in your browser, with no ads and no paywalls, on a computer, a phone or with a controller.

Four games so far: a mansion of six floors, a castle of ten rooms, Toronto from the street to 451 metres up the CN Tower, and nine flooding decks of a sinking liner. More are on the way.

Every person in our games is made up. Nobody’s face or voice is copied: the voices are stock voices, no clone or impersonation of anyone. DRAKE’S MANSION is a parody, not affiliated with Drake or OVO; HOUSE RULES is fiction set in a castle inspired by Toronto’s Casa Loma, and not affiliated with it.

Keep the lights on

No ads. No paywalls.

A bug, an idea, a question, or the floor that got you. It comes straight to us, and we reply by email.

Press & creators
