This game seems incredibly cool, and what I was able to play was gorgeous! However, as isinglass said in their review, it's also incredibly frustrating- and, as a disabled gamer, functionally unplayable due to the frustrating features isinglass described. I've been unable to get past the first few minutes of the game, notably due to needing to restart the entire tedious morning section after every death and the precise reaction time needed.

Overall, an incredible-seeming game, but also an incredibly inaccessible one. I'll likely look up a playthrough, though it's sad I'm unable to play it myself.

This game's pretty damn good. It's also really hard. It basically kicked my ass for almost 2 hours last night but it's still fun to play. 

Hi just wondering if you need Chinese Localizaion for this unique game. I'm a freelancing game translator and I'd like to take part in this game as well. Feel free to contact me at HarroldFinch@163.com. Have a nice day.

bing chilling 🥶🥶🥶

House is a creepy game that leans into the RPG Maker horror aesthetic from games like Misao thrown in with a dash of old school cult hits like Maniac Mansion. Instead of a haunted school or mansion, you are exploring your home that gets darker and more monstrously aggressive as the day quickly turns on. And, oh, does the day move on, which each in-game second translating to rapidly increasing minutes inside the house.

The best parts about this game are the pixel art and the designs and the discoverability. As you begin to discover items and play around with them, you organically begin to find solutions to your problems. This type of logical reward for the player is one of House's strengths. The ghosts, monsters, demons, etc. are also well-drawn, creepy, and charming. The first time midnight approached, I seriously was filled with a deep dread as the father came home.

This is where my raving praise begins to slip though. I don't know of House fully uses the 'time loop' of being trapped in this Groundhog's Day-like setting to its fullest potential. To be honest, although I knew what I needed to do for certain tasks, some of the enemies can quickly end your run in what ends up being an ultimately frustrating experience. The first time you laugh about it and feel trolled. The second time you begin to wonder about hitboxes. I've had weird issue with the rat hit box, annoyed with how it feels like you have to get pixel-perfect to escape the rug in the hallway, and not to mention bad RNG with the shadow people. After 15-20 runs, it feels like certain obstacles should no longer be a run-ending issue.... yet they are. The tedium of repeating runs for dumb missed-by-a-pixel mistakes pushes up against the genuine joy of the game's surprises.


I also think I would like House more if I didn't feel like it was so "front-loaded" in terms of trying to rush to save my family members. Certain tasks feel like they have to be 'pixel perfect' or that I have to be conducting a speed run, which ruins some of the atmosphere for me. There are moments like uncovering the hatch in the mother's room that I wish felt a little slower and carried a deeper emotional gravitas. Even some lighter content feels rushed. An example: after befriending the rat I learned I could talk to him (and that he had dialogue for different items I was carrying), but I also had tasks to do & every spent with lore (which I would have liked!) meant another disaster was happening elsewhere in the house. So, I ran off.

The runs aren't that long, but even a quicksave option might make this game a little more enjoyable. At a certain point the tedium of having everything start over knowing the spike rug might get me again turned me off of House. Finally, I just ended up getting too frustrated that I couldn't accomplish what I set my mind to do and quit, instead watching a YT video of someone else's best runs.

The story, artwork, item/object interactions, and discoverability are worth the sticker price for an interesting, imaginative game, I only wish it was more fun to play and didn't feel like each run was a pixel-perfect speed run racing against the clock.

Now that path 1.3 is out, is it fully finished, content-wise?

hi! i bought House 1.2 a little while ago- and i really wanna download the update. do i have to buy the game again, or is there a way to update the old version..?

hi there! If you just download it again it’s the current version!

it says i have to pay for it again- i will if i must, i love it!! 

make sure this is the same account you originally purchased the game with. 

If you still have issues you can email us at barkbarkgames@gmail.com

This is absolutely amazing. Based off youtube videos i've seen, it's extremely creepy. And I don't normally get spooked easily. I'm gonna try to buy it tomorrow. Overall, amazing work. :)

This horror game is one of the most nerve-wrecking I have seen in a long while, this is further helped by the fact that everything happens in real time and there are monsters/hazards everywhere. Seriously, you did a good job on this game.

Hey! When I initiate what I think is the start of the new ending, the game seems to really freak out and drop frames heavily, screen goes black on and off too. I think this might be my PC reacting weird to post-process shenanigans because it's a little old, from 2016, but idk. Any ideas?

By the way, wanted to say pre-update but this game is really fun and I've been obsessed over it for the last month and a half!!

Hi there. We have seen this issue happen intermittently and are working on a fix. I would suggest in the interim try closing all other apps you have open and doing a fresh run of the game and go straight to initiating that ending. 

Is the update out now? :D

Yes it is! 

Is the pt2 already out?

patch 1.3 is coming later this week! 

I loved this! Its way more fast-pace then I thought it would be. I loved the background story too!

This game is seriously dope. I played it as my first live stream and made a lil highlight reel. I still have to go back and figure out the correct series of events. But man..... It is so short for each playthrough, but still packed with so much stuff. It is freaking amazing. I want more lol
(+1)

thanks for playing! the next update is coming soon :)

This game is tough! It's one of those games that is excruciating at first, but you learn, grow and come out the other end feeling smarter lol. I saved the sister, but I know I missed a few things and there's more to do. I'm excited to see what you do with House!

 

(+2)

thanks for playing! the next update should be out in the next week or so! :)

Is the Steam version of this game identical as the latest version on this site? (I'll try to say this spoilerfree) I've got a really hard time to fight the monster that comes out of the white machine that also delivers milk. Or should I just try again?

(+1)

they are both the same version.

Hi there. Were you able to resolve this? 

It might be an issue with your browser and/or itch.io. I can send you the game directly if you can provide me with your e-mail address.
