Just Ignore Them is a story-led point-and-click horror adventure centered on an eight-year-old boy tormented by monsters in his home. Living with his mother, who works from home to care for him, he faces a frightening night that the game frames as a child’s experience of pain, suffering, and horror. The mystery of the invading creatures gives the story its central question: what is happening in this house?
Choices shape the route through the narrative. The game describes its storyline as alterable, letting players make critical decisions and glimpse a future that can change; those decisions also affect the ending. The main plot, however, does not change, so the branching is about the path and outcome within a fixed central story rather than a wholly different premise. Its presentation is intended to resemble a movie script, giving the adventure a strongly narrative focus alongside its point-and-click format.
The listed play format is single-player, which makes this a solitary, story-focused experience rather than a shared or competitive game. The store describes a first playthrough as roughly a few hours, with duration depending in part on the choices made.
