Having your own house at the age of 18 might sound like a dream come true—think independence and your very own space, all before you're legally allowed to drink in the US! But when it comes to Your House, you might find yourself wishing this dream was a bit less complicated. This seemingly cozy home has a dark side that you'll soon discover.
In this immersive 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 harrowing accident with a car. With nothing left to lose, Debbie receives a mysterious key and a letter inviting her to explore the enigmatic house. Driven by curiosity and desperation, she sets out to unravel the secrets hidden within its walls.
As Debbie, you'll face over a dozen puzzles that test your ingenuity. With a mysterious figure lurking on the sidewalk, the stakes are high, and you'll need to use all your wits to ensure Debbie's survival.
The rental market can be murder—I may be painting Your House as more sinister than it is, but there's no doubt about the spooky undercurrent that runs through this escape room-style game. As you delve into the various nooks and crannies of your new home, the game's visuals enhance the text-based narrative, making it a compelling experience worth exploring.
Be ready for some intense tapping, though. While our reviewer Catherine had high praise for Your House, she noted the need for patience due to the game's pace. If you take your time and examine each screen carefully, you'll find the slow-burn experience rewarding.
