The Game That Knows You

A quiet house, nine windows. Tap the pumpkins as they light up and leave the ghosts alone. Now and then the house whispers: the time on your device, the day, how long you've been here, your best score, maybe your name. It's a focus game: notice the voice, let it pass, keep tapping. Everything it knows stays in your browser.

How to play

Tap the pumpkins. A window lights up. Pumpkin? Tap it fast. Ghost? Leave it and it drifts away.
Ignore the voice. The house whispers what your device knows. On Expert it even tells you to tap a ghost. Don't.
Keys and touch. Tap a window, press Space for the lit one, or 1 to 9 by place.
Score. 10 per pumpkin plus up to 10 for speed, 3 per ghost left alone. A missed pumpkin or a tapped ghost costs one of 3 lives, and the windows speed up.

Quick tips

Notice, then let go. When a whisper appears, read it if you like, then bring your eyes back to the windows.
Hold on ghosts. Your thumb wants to tap anything that lights up. Waiting is the skill here.
