Having your own house at the tender age of 18 might seem like a dream come true—think independence and your own space, all before you're even old enough to legally drink in the US! But when it comes to Your House, this dream could turn into a nightmare. This seemingly cozy home harbors a dark side that you'll soon discover.
In this intriguing 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 the misfortune of being hit by a car. With nothing left to lose, Debbie receives a mysterious key and a letter that leads her to the house at the heart of the game. Driven by curiosity and desperation, she sets out to uncover the secrets hidden within.
As Debbie, you'll navigate through dozens of escape room-style puzzles, all while a mysterious figure keeps a watchful eye from the sidewalk. Your ingenuity will be put to the test as you strive to ensure Debbie's survival and unravel the house's chilling mysteries.
While I might be painting Your House as more sinister than it is, there's no denying the eerie atmosphere that permeates this escape room-style puzzler. As you delve into the nooks and crannies of your new home, the game's compelling visuals complement the text-based narrative, making it a must-try experience.
Be prepared for some intense tapping, though. As noted in Catherine's review, while Your House received high praise, the gameplay did receive some criticism due to the need for rapid interaction. However, if you're willing to take your time and meticulously examine each screen, the slow-burning suspense might just be worth it.
