You Make This House a Home immerses players in a haunting and tense story where reality and memory are unreliable. You awaken in a house you do not recognize, beside a man who insists he is your partner, while your own past is entirely missing. Across five in-game days, you must explore every corner of the home, uncover hidden clues, and make decisions that could reveal the truth—or lead to escape—while facing unsettling psychological and horror elements.
At the core of You Make This House a Home is careful investigation. Each room contains objects, letters, and environmental details that gradually reconstruct your forgotten past. Players must pay close attention, interpret subtle hints, and choose how to engage with the man and the environment. Each decision impacts both the unfolding story and the atmosphere of trust and tension.
• Detailed examination: Objects and notes often conceal important clues.
• Environmental storytelling: The arrangement of items and spaces provides context.
• Five-day structure: Progression opens new areas and interactions each day.
• Choice-driven reactions: Dialogue and actions shape trust, fear, and narrative direction.
You Make This House a Home features two main narrative paths, offering distinct experiences and endings. Decisions—whether to comply, investigate cautiously, or resist—determine which secrets are uncovered and how the story resolves. Exploring both routes allows players to uncover hidden details and gain a fuller understanding of the house and its occupant.
• Search rooms thoroughly before concluding each day.
• Observe inconsistencies in behavior, dialogue, and environment.
• Compare evidence across spaces to uncover hidden truths.
• Replay with different choices to access alternate endings.
The game intentionally explores mature and unsettling themes including body horror, gore, drug use, forced amnesia, and manipulative psychological dynamics reminiscent of Stockholm syndrome. Even mundane spaces become sources of tension as secrets are revealed. Players navigate moral ambiguity, trust, and emotional uncertainty, creating a slow-burning atmosphere of suspense and unease.
• Disturbing visuals: Objects and room layouts enhance psychological tension.
• Manipulative relationships: Interaction dynamics challenge perception and decision-making.
• Mature themes: Storylines explore trauma, coercion, and dependency.
• Gradual escalation: Suspense grows as discoveries accumulate
