Owning your own house at 18 might seem like a dream come true—think independence and your own space, all before you're even old enough to drink in the US! However, in the case of Your House, you might wish it were just a dream. This seemingly cozy home harbors a dark side that you'll soon uncover.
In this gripping text-based adventure, you step into the shoes of Debbie, a young woman who faces a series of unfortunate events on her 18th birthday: expulsion from school, betrayal by her best friend, and being struck by a car. With nothing left to lose, she receives a mysterious key and a letter directing her to the enigmatic house. Driven by curiosity, Debbie sets out to unravel the secrets within.
As you guide Debbie through the house, you'll encounter dozens of escape room-style puzzles. With a mysterious figure lurking on the sidewalk, your wit and ingenuity will be crucial to ensuring Debbie's survival. Your House isn't just about solving puzzles; it's a thrilling narrative experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Admittedly, I might be painting Your House as more sinister than it truly is. Yet, there's an undeniable spooky atmosphere to this game as you explore the nooks and crannies of your new home. Despite its text-based nature, the game is enriched with compelling visuals that enhance the storytelling experience, making it well worth exploring.
Be prepared for some intense tapping, as our reviewer Catherine noted in her review. While she praised Your House extensively, she did mention the need for patience due to the game's pacing.
