Flashlight horror game for iPhone

Find the frog. Do not find Patapim.

One flashlight, one dark room, a clock counting down. Slim the frog is hiding in there. So is Brr Brr Patapim, and he is not hiding: he is walking around.

Free to play. Rated 9+. Try the light for yourself.

Find Slim. Move the light.

Brr Brr Patapim as he appears in the game: a forest creature with mossy hair, a long nose, root-like legs and very large feet

The thing in the room

Moss for hair, roots for legs, and he has heard you

Brr Brr Patapim comes from the Italian brainrot meme: part forest, part something with a very long nose and very large feet. In this game he owns the house, and you are in it with a flashlight, looking for his frog.

From the game

Caught in Slim's Lair. Twenty rooms down the map.

How it plays

Three things to watch, one to avoid

The clock, the battery and the dark. And him.

The flashlight

Your only tool is a circle of light

Drag the beam across the room. Everything outside it is black. Slim is small, and the room is not.

The clock

A minute and a half goes fast in the dark

Every room has a timer, around ninety seconds in the early levels. Search in a pattern or you will sweep the same corner three times.

The battery

Light is not free

The battery drains while the beam is on. Run out and you are standing in the dark with him.

Patapim

He moves. You will not see him until you do

Patapim wanders the room while you search. Land the beam on him and the level is over.

The map

Twenty-five rooms on a parchment map

From The Whispering Woods through Slim's Lair and the Moonlit Graveyard to Final Ascent, each one harder than the last.

Premium

An upgrade, if you want it

Unlimited battery, no adverts and instant access to every level. The whole game is playable without it.

Questions

Before you go in

What do you actually do?

You search a pitch-black room with a flashlight beam to find Slim the frog before the timer runs out, while your battery drains and Brr Brr Patapim moves around in the dark. If your beam lands on him, he catches you.

Is it free?

Yes, free to download and play, with adverts. A Premium upgrade gives unlimited battery, removes adverts and unlocks every level at once.

How scary is it?

It is rated 9+ for mild horror. It is dark rooms, tension and a sudden caught screen, with no blood or gore. The parents' guide has the detail.

Is this the official Patapim game?

There is no official one. Brr Brr Patapim is a community meme character from the Italian brainrot trend, and this is an independent fan-made game built around him.
