About the Game

Remember What Was Added

The Order of Things is a short first-person horror memory puzzle game set inside a dark and unsettling house.

Estimated playtime: approximately 30–60 minutes, depending on your memory and the number of mistakes.

Each stage adds one new object to the house.

Explore your surroundings, identify what has changed, and remember the order in which the objects appeared. When you return to the starting point, select every added object in the correct sequence.

It sounds simple—until the house begins to interfere with your memory.

Ghostly apparitions, unstable lights, disturbing sounds, and strange anomalies will appear as you explore. Stay focused, remember the order, and do not let the house deceive you.

How It Works

* Explore the house and find the newly added object.

* Remember every object in the order it appeared.

* Return to the starting point.

* Select the objects in the correct sequence.

* Complete all 10 stages to unlock your escape.

Mistakes Have Consequences

Stages 1–3 are introductory stages designed to help you learn the rules at a gentler pace.

Stages 4–5 allow you to retry the current stage.

From Stage 6 onward, selecting the wrong object sends you back one stage. Your progress can never fall below Stage 5, but repeated mistakes will make your escape much more difficult.

When a stage is lost, the newest object is removed from the current sequence. Pay close attention to which objects still belong to the order.

Features

* A memory puzzle where the sequence grows one object at a time

* A dark first-person horror atmosphere inside an old house

* Supernatural disturbances designed to break your concentration

* Strange encounters including Demon Doll, Book Head, and Ghost Overlay

* Simple rules with increasing pressure and difficulty

* A short, focused horror experience designed for a single play session

Your Goal

Remember and select all 10 objects in the correct order.

Keep your memory intact, survive the disturbances, and escape the house.
