Mr. Nice - an interactive horror story

MR. NICE is an interactive psychological horror novel set in a quiet suburban town where politeness is law—and mistakes are punished. When eighteen-year-old Lila Mercer moves to Willow Lane, her neighbor Arthur Nice seems gentle, helpful, perfect. But in Briar Hollow, noise is a sin, disorder is dangerous, and “nice” hides something monstrous. As friends disappear and rules tighten, your choices decide who survives, how far guilt spreads, and whether silence keeps you safe. This is a slow-burn, choice-driven horror about conformity, violence disguised as kindness, and the terrifying cost of being polite.
