Having your own house at the age of 18 might seem like a dream come true—think independence and your own space, all before you can legally drink in the US! But in the case of Your House, you might find yourself wishing it were just a dream. This seemingly cozy home harbors a dark side that you'll soon discover.
In this text-based adventure, you step into the shoes of Debbie, a young woman who, on her 18th birthday, faces expulsion from school, betrayal by her best friend, and a car accident. With nothing left to lose, she receives a mysterious key and a letter directing her to the titular house. Driven by curiosity and desperation, Debbie decides to unravel the mystery behind it.
As you guide Debbie through the house, you'll encounter dozens of escape room-style puzzles. With a mysterious figure watching from the sidewalk, you'll need to use all your ingenuity to ensure Debbie's survival.
Admittedly, I might be painting Your House as more sinister than it truly is. Yet, there's an undeniable spooky undercurrent to this escape room-style puzzler. As you explore the various nooks and crannies of your new home, the game offers plenty of visuals to complement the text-based narration, making it well worth a look.
Be prepared for some intense tapping, though. While Catherine praised Your House in her review, she noted that the game could be a bit demanding in this aspect. However, if you're willing to take your time and carefully examine each screen, the slow-burn pace might just be worth it.
