The Tooth Fae — Pixel Horror Tooth-Collecting Game
The Tooth Fae is a short, atmospheric stealth-horror where you slip through quiet homes to harvest “lovelies” without being caught. Time and tension are your enemies: prepare before you pull, watch for the tell-tale sign that a tooth is ready, and move fast—panic or hesitation can end a run.
