About the game
Short description
Madam Koi Koi is a free first-person horror game for Windows from Lagos studio Glitch & Gloom Studios, set in an abandoned Nigerian boarding school and inspired by the West African urban legend of the teacher in red heels.
Long description
In boarding schools across Nigeria, students tell a story after lights out: a teacher in red high heels who walks the corridors long after everyone has gone to bed. Koi... koi... koi. You always hear her before you see her. In Madam Koi Koi, you play Tobe, who climbs into Ikenga Memorial Secondary School, closed since 2010, to find the diary of a brother who died there seventeen years ago. The gate locks behind you. To get out you need three staff keys and every piece of evidence about what happened that term, while she hunts you by sound and sight through classrooms, the hostel and the yard. Madam Koi Koi has two endings, three difficulty levels, sound subtitles, a reduce-flashing option, and an optional retro PS1 filter, and runs on integrated graphics.
Key features
- Her ears. She hunts by sound as much as sight. Sprinting, slamming doors and knocking things over all carry. Crouch-walking is quiet; holding your breath is quieter.
- Her eyes. She notices you from twice as far when your flashlight is on. Turning it off hides you, and leaves you in the dark.
- Hiding. Squeeze into a locker or a wardrobe, crawl under a bunk or crouch beneath a desk. She checks hiding places, one by one. Keep your light off, because she sees the glow.
- Chases. Being spotted isn't instant death. She comes for you, and you get a chance to run, break her line of sight, and hide.
- Battery and nerve. Batteries are scattered through the school. Let the light die and your nerve goes with it.
- Evidence. Letters, memos, a punishment book, a sick bay register, a newspaper clipping. Every page goes into your journal and tells part of the story. You need all of it to leave.
- Keys. Three staff keys open the way out. They are somewhere different every time you play.
- Two endings. You can simply escape. Or you can understand what she wants, and decide what to do about it.
