An unsettling short horror game

Please don’t litter is a free adventure game where you play a garbage collector who dreams of making it out of a trash-filled dystopia. The litter that spawns in this horror game from KenForest is created by a mysterious creature that appeared out of nowhere. You will need to interact with various objects and NPCs to figure your way out.

Please don’t litter makes use of classic PS1 visuals, much like in The Smiling Man, that fits the story’s concept quite well. While the physics don’t exactly mimic real life, the visuals still create an unsettling feeling befitting the genre.

What can you expect?

The dystopia you see in Please don’t litter was created by some sort of being that you cannot see at the beginning of the game. This anomaly constantly spawns trash every 10 seconds, thus creating the large garbage dump that surrounds your character. While you start off the game by simply picking up litter, you will soon discover that you can use what you collect for other purposes.

This indie title’s plot is pretty short overall — with only less than 30 minutes of estimated gameplay — however, it’s intriguing enough to build questions that players will want to figure out on their own. It makes use of more retro 3D visuals yet the controls are still very smooth to operate. This allows you to navigate the various areas of the game with ease.

You can also look forward to a surprising yet thrilling boss fight that presents a unique challenge for players. However, it’s important to note that players will need to allow their devices to run programs from unverified sources in order to install the game. Some devices can flag the game file as suspicious due to it being from a smaller developer.

Short and sweet, but still haunting

Please don’t litter offers a short albeit lore-packed storyline paired with an exciting and immersive experience. While some players will want a more fleshed-out ending, the mystery that the conclusion leaves behind fits the horror genre pretty well. You can also look forward to exploring the small open world and interacting with a number of NPCs and interesting objects lying around.
