Your House

Your House is a text-driven mystery game set in the 1990s. Debbie, a rebellious teenager, receives a mysterious letter on the day she comes of age. It contains a cryptic postcard, an address and a key; with nothing left to lose, she runs away and finds a mansion waiting for her. As she explores, she tries to learn who sent the letter, why the house seems to know so much about her, and whether it is a gift, a trap or a joke.

Reading is central to solving the game’s puzzles. You examine sentences, images, sounds and objects for clues, connect ideas, interact with words and revisit information as its meaning changes. Progress depends on observation, deduction and lateral thinking; a detail that seemed unimportant can later unlock a secret room.

Explore the mansion

The mansion is the central puzzle, with rooms that conceal hidden doors, secret compartments, strange objects, underground passages and locked mechanisms. Each discovery raises new questions and reveals another layer of the story. As Debbie learns more, the house becomes a personal confession shaped by architecture, memory and guilt.

The story also uncovers the connected lives of three enigmatic characters: an architect, a thief and a devoted wife. Their stories appear separate at first, but Debbie gradually finds how each room, object and puzzle fits into a larger secret. The mystery explores identity, social expectations, family wounds, freedom and the cost of choosing your own path.

Solve through the story

Your House combines text, illustrations, sound and interactive puzzles in a five-chapter thriller. You click, touch and interact with words and images, solve challenges woven into the narrative, and unlock rooms, secrets and hidden layers of the story. The puzzles are how the story unfolds, rather than obstacles placed apart from it.

Style and origins

The game uses a noir comic style and combines elements of a mystery novel, a puzzle game and a digital escape book. It is inspired by a Manhattan apartment designed by architect Eric Clough, who secretly incorporated puzzles, codes, hidden compartments and games into the home. Your House is also a prequel to UNMEMORY, revealing the hidden origins of that game's world.
