Scare away all the invading Hoomanz!

Hoomanz is a light-hearted stealth-adventure game packed with cozy vibes and silly humour. You play as Shoo, the mythical guardian of Planet Erf, who changes forms based on the light. He's determined to scare away all the noisy, stupid and clueless invaders. Darkness is nature’s friend, light is its enemy.

Step into the paws of Shoo

Erf was peaceful once… a planet cloaked in eternal night, a paradise for every creature that called it home. That all changed when the Hoomanz arrived. Loud, clueless, and utterly disruptive, they pollute the land, meddle with nature, and worst of all... they bring bright, blinding light.

With balance shattered and chaos spreading, the ancient forces of nature call upon the only being who might be able to help: Shoo.

Shoo never asked to be a hero. He'd much rather snooze in the shadows, far away from the world's problems. But he's awake, grumbling and dragging his feet… and it's time to get to work. Summoned from your resting place, you'll play as Shoo, our mysterious, mythical creature with a hidden dual nature, in this charming casual adventure game built in Unreal Engine 5, tasked with a crucial mission:

Rid planet Erf of the ignorant Hoomanz invaders!

Duality of Dark vs. Light

On planet Erf, darkness is nature’s friend and light is its enemy. Shoo changes forms based on the light.

Dark Shoo: Fierce, fast, scary and fully prepared to deal with the Hoomanz. (You are the Apex predator.)

Light Shoo: Slow, vulnerable, cute and extremely huggable… and Shoo hates hugs. (RUN!!!)

Don’t let them catch you!

As Shoo you must navigate through the dark, otherwise you’ll get chased and squished with a hug!

Scare them all away!

When you scare a Hooman, they’ll get yeeted off the planet – you’re just that scary (or they’re just that fragile?). But it’s not as easy as it sounds – You must stress the Hooman first. You do that using the environment and its tools.

Your Arsenal of Stress

Lure them with a cute purrr, throw bottles, snap twigs, sabotage lights, frozen yeti jumpscares, dance around dangerous traps… Shoo’s toolkit is full of mischief. There’s no “right” way to scare off a Hooman, so get inventive!

Swift Movement

Dash to get out of a sticky situation, or to simply explore the whimsical atmosphere of planet Erf’s nature. Champion through dash obstacle courses to save creatures and more.

Nature, Ice and Fire

As you progress through the story, your environment will get more harsh, puzzles harder and the need to save planet Erf even more dire!

Laugh Out Loud

The game is packed with humour. From idle Hoomanz peeing, playing the banjo (if you can call it that), slipping on ice and generally making weird sounds, to cute underpants, their panicked waddling, hilarious screams (recorded by us Koffeecuppers) and much much more!
