What frightens A stranger holds you in a dark room and wants to play: you steer a maze on an old blue-screened computer and draw at a table while his voice whispers close to each ear, a pale mask watches from the dark and doing the wrong thing brings a screamer.
Content: jumpscares, captivity, whispering voice close to the ears, loud sounds.

Play With Him is a short first-person horror game for the browser by Santiago Garcia. A man who has you captive makes you play his games, a maze on an old computer and a drawing at a table, while his voice whispers at your ears, and doing badly has consequences.

About Play With Him

Play With Him is a free browser game made in Unity by Santiago Garcia, put on itch.io in May 2025 and updated soon after with new endings. Its page says only 'He watches. He waits. He takes.' Players who know the maker's Stay With Him say this one brings back the same disturbed man with a new victim.

You sit in the dark in front of an old computer with a blue screen. A voice, speaking softly close to one ear and then the other, wants you to play. The games themselves are plain: steer a small square through a red-walled maze, sit at a lone table under a lamp and draw what you are asked to, hold still when you are told. The horror is in who is asking, and what is standing in the dark beside the monitor while you play.

Players in the comments describe it as deeply uncomfortable more than gory: the whispering (which some call unsettling ASMR), a doll they could not stop watching, and sharp jump scares when they moved or drew carelessly. Its maker explains that a lazy drawing gets you a screamer and also takes away your chance to escape, and the May 2025 update added new endings.

It suits players who like short, voice-driven horror built on one tense situation, and it is best played with headphones.

How to play Play With Him

Open the itch.io page, put on headphones and press Run game.
Look around with the mouse and move with WASD when you can.
Play the games on the computer screen when the voice asks, such as steering through the maze.
At the table, draw what you are asked to with care.
Do what he says when he tells you not to move, and keep looking around the room, including up.

Tips

Use headphones: the voice moves from ear to ear and tells you where to look.
When you are taken to the table to draw and nothing happens, look up, as the maker advises.
Do not rush the drawing; the maker says a simple scribble means you cannot escape.
If the game stays on a blank screen, try another browser; most players run it without trouble.
