Owning 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 legally allowed to drink in the US! However, in the game *Your House*, this dream quickly turns into a nightmare. This seemingly cozy home harbors a dark and mysterious side that you'll need to navigate.
In this text-based adventure, you step into the shoes of Debbie, who on her 18th birthday, faces expulsion from school, betrayal by her best friend, and a harrowing accident involving a car. With nothing left to lose, 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 uncover the secrets within.
As you guide Debbie through the game, you'll encounter dozens of escape room-style puzzles. A mysterious figure watching from the sidewalk adds an eerie layer of tension, pushing you to use all your ingenuity to ensure Debbie's survival.
