Welcome to Hide from Heather You are Bob. A 30-something software engineer working for a local tech company. When you`re not working you like to go out, work out and occasionally visit your mother. You basically have a pretty ordinary life. But there is one single person that has the ability to suck all your energy out of you, and that is your co-worker Heather. She is the most boring and annoying individual you have ever come across, and every time she`s around, you can feel your energy being drained... She is what many would call an "energy vampire". Pay attention to your "To do list", as you must complete every task on that list in order to complete each level. With just one finger (!) you will control Bob`s life, whether it`s at his house, at the office, at the gym or the night club. It`s not really that hard, unless Heather`s around, then it can be somewhat tricky... So just follow the "To do list", but whatever you do, remember to hide from Heather! PS: We recommend that you play the game with the sound on. Also, the game will work best on newer devices
