About YOUR HOUSE
A game you can read. A book you can play.
YOUR HOUSE is a text-driven mystery game where reading is not a break from the gameplay — reading is the gameplay.Every sentence, image, sound, object, and strange detail inside the house may hide a clue. To move forward, you’ll need to read carefully, connect ideas, interact with words, solve puzzles embedded in the text, and unlock the secrets of a mansion that behaves less like a place… and more like a living puzzle box.Set in the 1990s, YOUR HOUSE follows Debbie, a rebellious teenager who receives a mysterious letter on the day she comes of age. Inside: a cryptic postcard, an address, and a key. With nothing left to lose, she runs away and finds a mansion waiting for her.Who sent the letter?Is the house a gift? A trap? A joke?
And why does it seem to know more about Debbie than it should?The deeper she goes, the more the house begins to reveal the hidden stories of three enigmatic characters: an architect, a thief, and a devoted wife. Their lives seem disconnected at first — until Debbie starts to understand that every room, every object, and every puzzle is part of a much larger secret.
Text is the gameplay
In YOUR HOUSE, you don’t simply read the story and then solve a puzzle.You read to solve.Words can become doors.Images can hide clues.
Sounds can reveal patterns.
Objects can change meaning depending on what you’ve discovered.
A sentence you ignored ten minutes ago may suddenly become the key to opening a secret room.The game blends the pleasure of reading a mystery novel with the satisfaction of solving an escape room. Progress comes from observation, deduction, lateral thinking, and paying attention to the small things.Because in this house, nothing is just decoration.
Explore a mansion made of secrets
The house is more than a setting. It is the central puzzle.As Debbie explores its rooms, she discovers hidden doors, secret compartments, strange objects, underground passages, locked mechanisms, and fragments of a story concealed in plain sight.Each discovery opens new questions.Each puzzle reveals a new layer.
Each room brings Debbie closer to the truth.The structure of the game unfolds like a house slowly opening itself to you. The more you understand, the more the mansion changes from a mysterious place into a personal confession built out of architecture, memory, and guilt.
A mystery told through interaction
YOUR HOUSE combines text, illustrations, sound, and interactive puzzles to create a narrative experience somewhere between a game, a book, and a digital escape room.You’ll progress through a five-chapter thriller by:- Reading carefully and interpreting clues.
- Clicking, touching, and interacting with words and images.
- Solving puzzles that are woven directly into the narrative.
- Revisiting information with new context.
- Unlocking rooms, secrets, and hidden layers of the story.
The puzzles are the way the story speaks.
A true puzzle house. A noir mystery about freedom, identity, and the cost of dreams
YOUR HOUSE is inspired by the real story of a Manhattan apartment designed by architect Eric Clough, who secretly built puzzles, codes, hidden compartments, and games into the home itself.That idea became the heart of the game:what if a house could hide a story meant to be discovered by only one person?Behind its puzzles, YOUR HOUSE tells a noir comic mystery about identity, social expectations, family wounds, and the price of choosing your own path.As Debbie searches for answers, every room, object, and hidden mechanism reveals another fragment of the truth.And little by little, the mansion becomes something more than a puzzle.It becomes a confession.

The house knows
A house knows everything about you—what you eat, what you read, when you go to bed, and when you watch TV. It hears your laughter, witnesses your fears, and feels your tears. It knows your secrets—your pillow fights, your loud music, and even your dances in front of the mirror. But how much do you really know about it?What Steam players say

[i]Your House[/i] is a nice little puzzle-adventure that reminds me most readily of [i]Device 6[/i], Simogo's mid-2010s text adventure for iOS. What I mean by this is simple: the game is primarily a text adventure that you interact with by clicking bolded "links" in the narrative text (you can see this in a few of the screenshots, though most emphasize the graphical scenes which also make up the game). I found the use of text art pretty cool at times, particularly in the narrowing passages of the underground catacombs and the reflex-based minigames. The art style for the graphical scenes is this charming cross-hatched comic book style with few colours used boldly. Really quite charming. The non-text puzzles are generally pretty fun, though for my taste I prefer diegetic puzzles, meaning puzzles that make sense within the narrative of the world, and here the puzzles often involve a kind of non-linear association between various bits of information. To give an example that is very nearly an actual puzzle: suppose if you had some photographs of buildings. Some of the photographs had Xes drawn on them. Then, separately, you found a map of a city, which had the names of buildings. Now…3 found this helpful
Although I found the game fairly interesting at first, with its text-based mechanics and intriguing story hook, I was mostly bored by the time I finished it. Neither the puzzles nor the story offered anything special. Exploring the house by clicking on words in the book and then watching a short animation quickly became repetitive and frustrating.
I wanted to love this. But it definitely needs to be tagged properly...this is interactive fiction. Yes, there are puzzles, but at least for me wasn't worth continuing through all the text/story. I also ran into a bug where it wouldn't let me get an item I needed. Graphics are very creative and well done. And perhaps the story is, too. If you want straight up interactive fiction, this is for you! If you're more wanting a puzzle game, look elsewhere.
Some great puzzles and an interesting story.
this was a cool short puzzle game. some of the puzzles were a little too hard for me, but i enjoyed the game nevertheless.
A very creative puzzle game! It's very short (only took me 2 hours to complete) and was challenging at times but never too difficult. The puzzles were very satisfying to complete and the story was interesting and well-written. Recommended for those who like point-and-click and/or escape room puzzle games!
