Description

To Lacey is a horror game where you're able to control time. Explore an old house and experience the haunting story once told within these walls. Use your tape recorder to direct the flow of time, as the house is set to bar your way forward to find out what happened all those years ago.

To Lacey was made for the Game Maker's Toolkit Game Jam 2025 where the theme was "Loop".
