I'm going to try to describe Knock-Knock and you're going to have to bear with me while I do it, because it's not the sort of thing that's easily described. Saying it's a side-scroller with exaggerated, cartoon graphics starring a haggard-looking young man with sunken eyes and wild red hair is simple enough, but the world in which he lives and his role in it is something else entirely.Bear with me.The young lad in question lives in a house located deep in a dark, lonely forest. It's an odd place, seemingly empty and in a poor state of repair; and worse, it's surrounded by twisted, deformed supernatural beings of various sorts who are trying to get in. He needs to keep them out - but some of them are already inside. To banish them, he must go from room to room, turning on the lights and replacing burned-out bulbs as necessary - which is quite often. And once the light is on, he can close his eyes and "imagine" furniture into existence. And other things, too; some of it he can hide behind, while others have their own, different purposes."It's a game of hide-and-seek, really, with a simple goal: make it to dawn without being caught. Time passes as you putter around the house, and every now and then you'll run across a strange, oddly familiar clock which you can use to advance the minutes and hours at a rapid pace. Hiding, however, has the opposite effect. Time runs backwards when you're crouched behind a couch or a boiler, hands pressed over your eyes, so you can't stay there forever.
