Taking place in the run-up to Christmas, the game has you sneaking out of bed in the middle of the night to take a peek at your presents. Couple that with the audio cues that play as you roam around the darkened house and you’ll be on edge even before you’re introduced to the game’s antagonist. True, Tattletail isn’t the only horror game to cast you as child, but it also subtly hints that there’s something amiss with the child’s home life. But viewed through the eyes of the game’s juvenile protagonist, it becomes an altogether less welcoming place. Tattletail’s location is rather unassuming: a suburban domicile complete with all the usual fittings and fixtures.

Nevertheless, Tattletail feels like a more measured and less random affair than Five Nights at Freddy’s, while still being every bit as unsettling. And just like Five Nights at Freddy‘s, you have no means of defending yourself from the onslaught of said monstrosities. Both titles task you with eluding the attentions of ostensibly cute yet ultimately terrifying robotic creatures. Tattletail is similar, in some respects, to Five Nights at Freddy’s. The similarity can’t be denied though the game will instantly resonate with any nineties child who sensed the menace behind those plastic eyes. Created by Waygetter Electronics, this horror title admittedly doesn’t mention Furbies by name, referring to them as Tattletails. However, there remains one brief ray of hope in the form of Tattletail, a game which seeks to educate the public as to just how malevolent these furry monstrosities are. Though now they’re back, and it can only be a matter of time we hear the march of their tiny feet and feel the sting of their beaks as they tear through our flesh. Luckily, this catastrophe was averted when they fell out of public favour a couple of years later. I remain convinced that they were secretly plotting to overthrow their oblivious owners. The internet is awash with tales of individuals who were rudely awoken by their child’s ill-advised Christmas gift chittering away in the darkness.Īs if this behaviour wasn’t disturbing enough, they would communicate with each other in their own cryptic language. For a start, early Furbies had no off switch, meaning they were always active. Terrifying and tense, this horror title will ensure you never, ever turn your back on a Furby again.Ĭreated in the late nineties, Furbies were marketed as electronic pets, chirping happily whenever they were paid sufficient attention.
