Having your own house at the age of 18 might seem like a dream come true—think independence and your very own space, all before you can legally drink in the U.S.! However, in the case of Your House, this dream quickly turns into a chilling nightmare. This seemingly cozy abode hides a dark secret that you'll uncover as you dive into this intriguing text-based adventure.

In Your House, 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 everything falling apart, Debbie receives a mysterious key and a letter directing her to a mysterious house. Driven by curiosity and desperation, she embarks on a journey to unravel the secrets hidden within its walls.

As Debbie, you'll confront over a dozen escape room-style puzzles, each designed to challenge your problem-solving skills. The game's eerie atmosphere is heightened by the presence of a mysterious figure watching from the sidewalk, adding an extra layer of tension. You'll need all your ingenuity to navigate through the house and ensure Debbie's survival.

Admittedly, I might be portraying Your House as more sinister than it actually is, but there's no denying its spooky undertones. As you explore the various nooks and crannies of your new home, the game offers a rich visual experience even though it's primarily text-based. It's definitely worth checking out if you enjoy a thrilling puzzle adventure.

Be prepared for some intense tapping, though. While our reviewer Catherine had plenty of praise for Your House, she did note that the game might require a bit more tapping than some players might prefer. However, if you're willing to take your time and scrutinize each screen carefully, the slow-burn pace could make for a rewarding experience.
