Having your own house at the tender age of 18 might seem like a dream come true—think independence and a place to call your own, all before you can legally drink in the US. However, in the case of Your House, you might find yourself wishing that dream was a bit less... haunting. This seemingly cozy home harbors a dark side, and it's up to you to navigate its shadows.

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 accident with a car. With her life in shambles, Debbie receives a mysterious key and a letter directing her to the titular house. Driven by curiosity and desperation, she embarks on a journey to unravel the enigma of this eerie abode.

As Debbie, you'll encounter dozens of escape room-style puzzles, each one a step closer to uncovering the house's secrets. But beware—a mysterious figure lurks on the sidewalk, watching your every move. You'll need to harness all your ingenuity to ensure Debbie's survival.

Admittedly, I might be painting Your House as more sinister than it truly is. Yet, there's an undeniable spooky undercurrent to this puzzle game as you delve into the various nooks and crannies of your new home. With engaging visuals complementing the text-based narrative, it's a game well worth exploring.

Be prepared for some intense tapping, though. While Catherine praised Your House in her review, she noted that the gameplay could be a bit demanding. If you're willing to take your time and scrutinize each screen carefully, the slow-burn pace might just be rewarding.
