Rental
A downloadable game for Windows
Renting a house near the beach is the dream. A great view, no noise, no neighbors for miles and no way out. After all who would want to leave their comfy beach house? Right?
....right?
STEAM VERSION NOW AVAILABLE

With the spooky season upon us, Smarto Club decided to take a break from being wholesome and turned spookyo with Rental, an eerie game about the risks of renting beach houses.

awesome little horror game
Full Play NO Commentary
I would love to see more of this with a more serious tone. We don't have enough cute HORROR. Can be quite funny at times as well as spooky. Well done !
I made a video on your game if you're interested :)Loved it, 10/10, Umi is just like me frfr
I skipped all the dialogue and found myself alone in a horror game with no idea what I was doing.
I originally found this game on Steam, but saw it was on here too.. game is cute, but creepyyyy.. the writing is hilarious too. nicely done
I really love the cute style of this game, and I especially love the Resident Evil and Silent Hill inspirations!! I love that old PS1 vibe that I get from it! I would love to see this game expanded upon because the backstory was interesting!
Cool atmosphere.
Hey guys!
come checkout my newest video on this game!
had such a great time with it!!
Very unique little game, I love the mix of a cute style and a horror setting, it's always fun to see how different developers mix those two styles. I will say though that there is a tiny bug in the locked wardrobe, basically after interacting with it the first time, you can keep interacting with it and technically getting an infinite amount of crosses. It doesn't actually impact the amount of crosses needed but I thought I'd mention it. Anyways, I loved it and I particularly love how unbothered Umi seems through it all haha. The game starts at 23:31 on my video and the wardrobe glitch is a bit after 28:46
Crug enjoyed
This game is really cute and weird, I would love to see more! 10/10
I didn't know what to expect from an Animal Cross looking game, but I honestly loved it. The sense of humor 10/10
El Silent Hill de los furros! 😂
Gracias creador!
Rental / Buixu
renting a cursed houseI played the Jam version of this game and it was alright. Kind dislike having to go around the house looking for the items, but this game is still good. 4.5/5
Saw you guys updated the game so I decided to come back and see what was new!
Is it free
I just finished a playing the itch.io version of this game and let me say it's charming and very nostalgic. Throught the game I did run into small bugs like unlimited crosses and question marks not appearing for certain items.
But the music, character dialog, and art style is what makes this game tick!
I enjoyed it a ton and hope to see more from them.
Kinda sucks that you can't pull up a menu or something to check what items you still need to find because I forgot what the guy said within 10 seconds and forgot what items I was supposed to be looking for
great game I enjoyed it more than I thought I would
Es un juego corto, pero con mucho suspenso, me gusta la idea de el, y me recuerda un poco a animal crossing
A very short and lovely game. Played the Steam version which seems to actually be a bit different from the Itch version.
Hey, good game, pal. Listen, I played this one first. I liked so I got free version on Steam. Yes, here will be one of steam version. Thanks to share here and Steam.
Cute
I Like It, Good Game!
This was a lot of fun! Really enjoyed this! Loved the visuals, the story, the vibe! It was great, good job!
i found the labyrinth part to be a very interesting cool feature. For some reason i wasnt able to talk to the entire family.
Rental can only he described as a mixture between Animal Crossing and Silent Hill. Although this sounds weird, it works perfectly well. The ominous vibes of a horror game blended together with the cuteness of an anthropomorphic character will make you crave for more. Original, short and free. No reason to not give it a try.
