What can I say honestly? House has such a special place in my heart, I discovered the game back when it came out in October of 2020, it was the roughest year of my life, much of it having to do with family issues. I wasn't able to play the game back then, I didn't have the money to purchase it, but I was happy with watching people play it, I was instantly hooked into the game because of his charming style, the melancholic and very unsettling but beautiful OST (Which I also bought), the horror (Which I'm all for), and just, how charming this little game is as a whole. A few days ago, I purchased it, to show my appreciation for the devs and to play the game, and to my surprise, when I finish the main story which I had still memorized all the steps for despite being almost 6 years since the last time I saw a playthrough, I found myself playing a second chapter that I had no idea of, which I played without a guide and it felt so rewarding to piece things together on my own. It was difficult, it was tense, it was tedious at times due to the unfortunate crashes that happened from time to time (Which I fixed by not activating fullscreen and lowering game quality to low), but it was beautifully haunting all the way through. And by the end, after I had done everything I needed to do, listening to the amazing ost play in the background and I slowly walked through the decrepit remains of the house, and talked to the spirits, one after the other, I acatually ended up shedding a few tears, this game means a lot to me, and the family aspect this game shows hit close to home... What can I say, an amazing masterpiece that I have no regrets buying or getting all the achievements for, it was worth every cent and second I spent playing it. Thank you for making such an amazing game and such a meaningful piece of art for me Bark Bark games <3. Would recommend 100%.

Of all the games I have ever played, this one resonates most with me: just trying to get through the day, worrying about every little detail and how to approach it all just to make sure that everyone is ok not just inside the family but outside too. putting myself at risk and in harms way for the sake of others, it is comforting in a way to have an MC not be a badass or someone who is meek but someone who holds steadfast in her quiet strength and does all they can in altruistic means. it is a comfort game for me, strangely enough

Lots of fun! This is a horror game mixed with a time-trial puzzle solver, in the same vein as Majora's Mask. You're a young girl in her family home, but things are REAL WEIRD BUD. It's your job to uncover all the weird, haunted secrets of your family abode? How do you do that? By experimenting and then dying about ten thousand times! This game is all about trial and error. Your runs aren't meant to last long - this is a short game. The goal is to test different things in the world and see what happens. Everything runs on a set schedule, and your job is to either work with that schedule, or otherwise, disrupt that schedule. By doing so, you forge a path toward one of the multiple endings. The fun here is in the experimentation. The game gives you many rooms to explore and lots of items. How do you use those items? I DUNNO, FIND OUT! The joy is playing around. What happens if you place the bowling ball on the cat? What happens if you use the slingshot on the vase? What happens if you use the axe to behead your sibling? I DUNNO, FIND OUT. That's part of the fun. The game doesn't stop you from making bad choices; in fact, it doesn't even tell you if a choice was good or bad at all. You're forced to learn the hard way, and that's a whole lot of fun. And since everything is on a timed trial, and dying resets the trial, there's no harm in trying something different on your next run. Once you begin to learn the puzzles, you'll start feeling like a speedrunner, which is a great feeling. "Okay, I need to run to the room, and grab the bowling ball; don't forget to help the cat; then, double tap the bowling ball to get the thing off the wall, and don't forget to shoot the chain with the slingshot but only after midday and only after I have the water......" It sounds complicated, and it is, but this game revels in its layers. It seems simple, but it's not, and peeling back the layers of this onion is the joy of the game. I hate the term metroidbrania, but this game definitely evokes that vibe. Once you learn a critical puzzle, it forever changes the way you play from that point forward. Getting one ending is challenging, but the game yearns for you to get more. You really have to use a lot of lateral thinking. If you do, it's rewarded greatly, unlocking even MORE puzzles, which require even more thinking. As I said, it's like an onion; it keeps giving layers, and they're so satisfying to peel away. It's good to scratch that itch of making you feel smart, and it's able to scratch that itch over and over as you ask yourself, "HOW THE HELL DO I GET THAT ENDING?!" If you feel lost, look at the achievements. I said if you feel lost.... unfortunately, that's this game's biggest downfall. It's VERY unintuitive in terms of what your options are. Some endings are extremely specific on the actions you need to perform. Why do you need to use the toilet? Trust me, you need to use the toilet. But because the game is obtuse on purpose to obfuscate its puzzles and layers, it can leave you feeling a bit frustrated when you've tried several different combinations and are still not seeing a change. Runs are so short that making a mistake is never really punishing. But if you just make a stupid mistake, it does sting. And additionally, given the game is built on repetition, if you don't like repeating the same exact actions in mathematical accuracy, over and over, you might get frustrated. But damn, I had fun. The monsters are fun, the death animations are very wacky and ugly in a good way. And every time I was getting frustrated, but then trialed a few new routes, the rewards made all my dopamine centers fire. If you're like me - impatient and easily frustrated with puzzles - my best advice is to play blind until you truly hit a wall. Once you get at least one or two endings on your own, pull up a guide and let the guide handhold you for the extra endings. Then you can get a fun and fulfilling experience, which I promise is worth it.
