The No Jumpscare Show
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux


Welcome to The NO JUMPSCARE Show!
Brought to you by Polypaw, this is a narrative comedy short horror game that promises a 100% jumpscare-free experience! ...Hopefully.
This release is the first part of the story, offering a playtime of around 30 to 40 minutes.

In a world where the paranormal is normal, the horror industry has gotten incredibly lazy.
Jumpscares have become the most boring cliché on earth, and Illy is completely unimpressed. She signs up for a shady haunted house promising true psychological horror... without jumpscares? At least, that's what the waiver says.
Run by yours truly, "Thingy the Thing," the kicker is this: if you don't get scared, you'll win $10,000!!
With Illy's constant pushing... things will not end well. And the show will h̷a̷v̷e̷ NOT HAVE ANY JUMPSCARES = )
PLAY NOW !
If you want to support me :D

& WHISHLIST ON STEAM!

just played the game! i thought there was jumpscares to be honest, but im glad that it does not have it.... yet
Game's pretty cool, but I have one objection, though. The game is advertised as a GAME, but from what I've played so far, I had the feeling that I was actually in a VN and a walking simulator. I know that some games can have a linear plot and that this was just the opening chapter, but PLEASE ADD MORE SECTIONS WHERE THE PLAYER CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING other than watch endless cutscenes.
I can't wait for part 2 and for more games from you!
I'm so sad I had no idea it was still a WIP. Amazing though, cannot wait to continue it!
Super fun game, looking forward to the next chapter!
Great concept, fun dialogue and humor, and cuute characters! :D
Made a video of my playthrough here:
This game belongs on Steam. It’s a truly mature-level title!
Would ya'll consider me for voice acting for your game? Or future projects?

Hello ! I really like your game. I am a French translator so if you want some translation, don't hesitate to answer me.
I have played 100s of games from itch and this is easily one of the most polished and interesting experiences Ive played. Loved all the characters and interesting lore. Really looking forward to part 2!
hi
how are you?
Loved this, but I have no idea if what I love about it will remain in the full version. This doesn't feel like a horror game, but a comedy game with the premise as horror. I wonder if true horror will be added, or if it will stay light hearted even when things get darker.
Wow, this game is so cool and creative! I love The Creature Of The Forest, he's so goofy.
And Thingy I guess.
Can't wait for part 2! Unless it's already out! I have to check! I'm pretty sure it's not!
This game was magnificent! I always enjoy how comical and cinematic your games are, truly a work of art!
WAIT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE SCARED OR NOT SCARED OR LAUGHING OR NOT LAUGHING, IM BEING TOLD NOT TO BE THE THING THAT I AM WHICH IS POSSIBLY HORRIFIED?!? Youtube Link -
Hi! Nice to meet you, I'm PepperMint and I'm speaking directly from Brazil. I played the game, it's cool and has an interesting aesthetic, but personally, at least for me, I found it to have too much dialogue and few moments of gameplay and character control. When I finally thought the horror was about to begin, the game announced that we should wait for part 2. I'm not complaining, making games is difficult, I say this because I also make a game, but maybe you should try to include more gameplay again, just my opinion. The game is still great and has a lot of potential!
(PS: It would be great to be able to choose to put it in Portuguese, I know English but sometimes I get lazy to read everything ;-;)
(-_-) <- (Face you make in a scawy place) Boring. I want my money back.
I played on Linux and had a rough time with the lighting. I initially noticed it on the intro walkway.
When any light source comes behind the third person camera, a bright-ass white dot flickers on the screen. Sections with lots of light sources make cutscenes hard to watch.
That is my only big complaint. Everything else was fine. I like the art style, animations (what is this style? Stop-action?), and the quirky humor.
ui, é um jogo recente, poxa tava ansiosa pra parte 2
Oh, cool! this is that game Markiplier played!
i watched him play it to!
i liked it, im getting that 10k dollars tho
i was not expecting at all 💀
Excited for part 2
CANT WAIT FOR PART 2...BUT WILL ILLY EVER GET THAT $10,000? VIDEO OUT AT 7:00PM CST
Android?
This game was extremely fun. I really enjoyed the fight scene and the chase sequence. I hope that more of these will be in the second part.
This game was very humorous and enjoyable! Love how thingy was going to crash out but kept his composure. Love the cartoonish vibe as well. Can't wait for the next chapter! Maybe Thingy would scare me next time?? Who knows.
