Make Monsters. Battle Friends. Go Bump in the Night. This former Apple Arcade favorite is back and better than ever! When the house goes dark, everyday objects awaken as mischievous spirits called yōkai and they love to battle.

Battle in the Dark Play solo or gather up to three friends for co-op chaos! Battle house spirits, explore eerie rooms, and uncover the secrets lurking in every corner. Have you ever heard something go bump in the night? Perhaps you’ve caught wind of a spirit or sprite. When the house is asleep, and there’s dark all around, spirits from objects awake and abound. The spirits are crafty and like to cause trouble. They're called yōkai and together, they double. Mixing and mashing, they join to fight. Can you help them conquer this mysterious night? Play with one person, two, three or four. First you’ll need to escape the dark junk drawer. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION Education is a human right in itself and is essential for realising other human rights. In meeting the right to education, every child and young person should have access to a free and equitable education system. Unfortunately, my experience as a science teacher in New Zealand, is that our schools are failing to provide a equitable education system for some children. This is especially true for Indigenous students, neurodivergent students and students struggling with their mental health. MY GOAL My goal for creating this app was to try and provide a fun way to help any student struggling with high school biology to achieve success. I wanted to see if learning through gaming will help re-ignite your passion for biology and give you the motivation to overcome any struggles you face with the subject. NO ADS OR IN-APP PURCHASES IN GAME Since education is a human right, access to education should be completely free. Therefore, this game will have no ads or in-app purchases. It will be completely free to download and play LEARN BIOLOGY CONCEPTS This game will teach you the science behind the adaptive immune system and how it defends our body against viruses. Try it out and see if you can learn high school biology playing games. I would love to hear from you, so please get in touch with any feedback or ideas to improve my games https://runthroughbio.com
