About the Game

Introduction

The rain lashes down, soaking you to the bone. You spot an old, dilapidated house looming in the distance - a beacon of shelter in the downpour. You knock loudly desperate to escape the rain. No answer. You try the handle, the door creeks opens...

Point & Click

You play a curious wanderer who's stumbled into more than they've bargained for. Explore the forgotten corners of the once-grand house, now seemingly abandoned and shrouded in mystery. Find and make us of objects you find lying around, crack codes, solve puzzles and progress through the various rooms of the house while waiting out the storm.

Features

A classic 2D point & click adventure game with:

  • Simplified interactions - You don't have to randomly try combining every object. If you click on something and have an item you can use with it, you do.

  • Retro graphics - Kicking it old school with a low resolution pixel art style and a 4:3 aspect ratio. Widescreen will never catch on.

  • Manageable length - Tied of never having enough time to finish games? You can probably wrap this one up in about 30 mins.

  • Occasional humour - There's a joke or two throw in for good measure.
