"Your House: Learn First-Time Buying Risks, Out on iOS, Android Pre-Registration Open"

Having your own house at the age of 18 might sound like a dream come true—imagine the independence and having your own space before you're even old enough to drink in the US! But in the case of Your House, this dream might turn into a nightmare. This seemingly cozy home hides a dark side that you'll soon discover.

In this gripping text-based adventure, you step into the shoes of Debbie, a young woman who faces a series of misfortunes on her 18th birthday. Expelled from school, betrayed by her best friend, and hit by a car, Debbie's life takes a dramatic turn. When she receives a mysterious key and a letter inviting her to the titular house, she embarks on a quest to uncover the secrets within its walls.

As you navigate through dozens of escape room-style puzzles, you'll need to be on your toes. A mysterious figure watches from the sidewalk, adding tension to your journey. Your ingenuity will be your greatest ally as you strive to help Debbie survive and unravel the mysteries of the house.

The rental market can be murder—I might be painting Your House as more sinister than it actually is, but there's no doubt about the eerie atmosphere that permeates this game. As you explore the nooks and crannies of your new home, you'll encounter plenty of visuals that enhance the text-based narrative, making it a compelling experience.

Be prepared for some intense tapping, though. While our reviewer, Catherine, had high praise for Your House, she noted that the game might require a bit of patience. If you're willing to take your time and scrutinize each screen carefully, the slow-burn pace can be incredibly rewarding.
