Garten Of Banban begins in what appears to be an ordinary kindergarten. Walls are painted with cheerful colors, posters display friendly characters, and the environment feels designed for children. Yet beneath the surface lies something wrong. The once-inviting classrooms and play areas hide an unsettling emptiness, punctuated by malfunctioning machines, broken toys, and strange noises echoing through the halls. The game transforms a safe childhood setting into a stage for survival and discovery.
Exploration and Progression
Players move through a network of classrooms, corridors, and hidden utility rooms. Locked doors require keycards or activated buttons, turning progression into a hunt for clues. A drone companion can be directed to press unreachable switches, adding another layer to puzzle-solving. Each solved challenge opens new areas, but also increases the feeling of being watched by something lurking nearby. Exploration rewards careful observation, as environmental details often hint at the truth behind the kindergarten’s downfall.
Mascot Encounters
The school’s mascot characters, designed to entertain children, are far from friendly. Their bright colors and exaggerated features mask hostile intentions. Some lurk silently, appearing only in the corner of vision, while others chase the player outright. Each encounter forces players to decide between retreat, hiding, or using environmental tricks to survive. These figures blur the line between toys and monsters, ensuring that the kindergarten never feels safe.

Replay Value

Hidden notes and environmental details offer different layers of story interpretation, encouraging multiple runs.

By turning childhood imagery into horror, the game provides an experience that lingers beyond a single playthrough.
