Having your own house at the age of 18 might seem like a dream come true—embracing independence and having your own space before you can legally drink in the US! However, in the case of *Your House*, you might find yourself wishing you had stayed elsewhere. This seemingly cozy home harbors a dark and mysterious side that awaits exploration.
In this gripping 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 car accident. With nothing left to lose, she receives a mysterious key and a letter directing her to the house that gives the game its name. Driven by curiosity and desperation, Debbie embarks on a journey to unravel the enigma of this haunting abode.
As Debbie, you'll encounter dozens of escape room-style puzzles, each requiring your ingenuity to solve. With a mysterious figure ominously watching from the sidewalk, the stakes are high, and your wits are your greatest asset to ensure Debbie's survival.
