Having 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 even old enough to legally drink in the US. But in the case of Your House, this seemingly cozy home might make you think twice about that dream because it harbors a dark secret.
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 everything falling apart around her, Debbie receives a mysterious key and a letter that beckons her to the enigmatic house. Driven by curiosity and a sense of having nothing left to lose, she decides to uncover the secrets lurking within.
As Debbie, you'll navigate through dozens of escape room-style puzzles, each more challenging than the last. With a shadowy figure ominously watching from the sidewalk, your wits and ingenuity will be your only allies in ensuring Debbie's survival.
