The House
The House is an online escape game where you awake, disoriented, in a bedroom with no memory of how you got there. You sense that something is wrong. You drag yourself out of bed and glance out the window. Beyond it, chaos unfolds. Broken objects, buildings, trees and more float ominously in mid-air. Something feels unnatural in the atmosphere.
In this adventure escape room game with a horror theme, you must search every corner of the house. Collect keys or seemingly ordinary items that hold the key to your freedom.
The puzzles are not simple logic tests but they also unfold another layer of horror and mystery. You need to solve out visual and numerical challenges that will push your mind. The floor creaks as though someone—or something—is moving just beyond your sight. Time is running out, and the house is growing impatient. Will you escape, or will the house claim you as its latest victim?
Controls
