Having your own house at the age of 18 might seem like a dream come true—think independence and your own space, all before you can legally drink in the US! However, in the case of *Your House*, this dream quickly turns into a chilling nightmare. This seemingly cozy abode harbors a dark and sinister side that you'll soon discover.
In this gripping text-based adventure, you step into the shoes of Debbie, an 18-year-old who faces a series of unfortunate events on her birthday: expulsion from school, betrayal by her best friend, and being hit by a car. With nothing left to lose, she receives a mysterious key and a letter directing her to the titular house. Driven by curiosity and desperation, Debbie ventures in to unravel the mystery that lies within.
As you guide Debbie through the house, you'll encounter dozens of escape room-style puzzles that challenge your ingenuity. But be warned—a mysterious figure lurks on the sidewalk, watching your every move. You'll need to be clever and resourceful to ensure Debbie's survival.

Be prepared for some intense tapping, though. As noted in Catherine's review, the game can be a bit demanding in this aspect, which led to a slight deduction in her overall rating. However, if you take your time and carefully examine each screen, you might find the slow-burn pace rewarding.
