I keep trying to find this old educational game that was creepy. I don’t remember much else about it and it is frustrating to know I’ll likely never figure this out. I don’t even remember what kind of educational content it was like math or reading or what.
Edit: thanks for the suggestions, everyone. And keep em coming!
I don’t remember much about the game except it was set in a house of some sorts and had this really creepy vibe to it. I want to say it involved aliens, but I don’t think that’s accurate. Might have been monsters instead. They weren’t humanoid-like creatures though.
We got it the same time we got this other computer game called Radio Addition and may have been in a pack together, but might have just been next to each other when my mom bought them. It ran on Windows, to further narrow it down.
Y’all got me thinking more about it and I asked an LLM tonight and it said this was likely the game I’m remembering and it’s right!! Super creepy colors and music I remember.
So that solves the mystery for me lol. Thanks for the recommendations!
lol it’s funny because as I typed this, I was thinking someone would think that was it. I loved the Jumpstart games and especially the 3rd grade one. But that’s not it, unfortunately. I’m grateful I remember it, but I played it so much I can’t forget.

Edit2: I found it by chance! The game I was thinking of was Math Blaster Mystery The Great Brain Robbery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3USKxJd4J4&pp=ygUUTWF0aCBibGFzdGVyIG15c3Rlcnk%3D

It’s not Baldi’s Basics, is it?
Oh no definitely not. This was early 90’s/late 80’s software.
Granny’s Garden?

That and Mallory Towers were staples in UK schools.
Most of the fun was telling the Raven to fuck off.
Not this one either, sadly. Thanks for the suggestion.
It’s crazy knowing what it’s not but not knowing what it is lol.

This one and the 3rd grade one with the robot were so good.
