Owning your own house at the age of 18 might seem like a dream come true. The allure of independence and having your own space before you're even old enough to drink in the US is incredibly appealing. However, in the case of *Your House*, this dream quickly turns into a nightmare. This seemingly cozy home hides a dark and sinister side that you'll soon discover.
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 hit by a car. With her life in shambles, Debbie receives a mysterious key and a letter directing her to the enigmatic house. Intrigued and with nothing left to lose, she embarks on a journey to uncover the secrets that lie within.
As you navigate through the house, you'll encounter dozens of escape room-style puzzles that challenge your problem-solving skills. With a mysterious figure lurking on the sidewalk, the stakes are high, and you'll need to use all your ingenuity to ensure Debbie's survival.
While I may have painted *Your House* as more sinister than it truly is, there's no denying the eerie atmosphere that permeates this puzzle game. As you explore the various nooks and crannies of your new home, the combination of text-based storytelling and engaging visuals creates a compelling experience that's well worth exploring.
Be prepared for some intense tapping, as noted in Catherine's review. Although she praised the game, she mentioned that the gameplay could benefit from a slower pace. If you're willing to take your time and thoroughly examine each screen, the slow-burn narrative can be incredibly rewarding.
