What players say
Collected all the achievements, this is one of the best indie horror games loved everything about it.
I really like the art style and animations in the game for one, I love how there are so many ways to die and animations for so many little things. However, this personally, does not make up for the tedious and mind numbing gameplay loop HOUSE offers. I felt like i was going crazy grabbing the axe over and over and over again. I would recommend this game only on sale as most of your playtime is going to be dedicated...
when the game keeps crashing but you cant tell if its a design choice or not because its a cute indie horror game
