The Joycare
SteamWelcome to The JoyCare – an urban exploration horror game set in the ruins of an abandoned daycare center. What was once a place of laughter and innocence is now nothing but echoes and shadows.
You play as a curious soul drawn to uncover the truth behind the daycare's closure… but you're not alone. Something else roams the halls — Jacky Joke, a forgotten mascot turned monster, still guards his playground. But he’s not your only concern. The Misery Master, blinded and twisted by betrayal, lurks in the darkness, hunting through sound.
Explore, survive, and uncover a disturbing story buried beneath toys, murals, and blood-stained secrets. Will you escape the grasp of your worst childhood nightmare?
