Your House Reviews
Your House is a title perfect for escape room enthusiasts and puzzle lovers, featuring unique gameplay mechanics and packed with mystery.
Your House is a good facsimile of an escape room, but the flaws only become more apparent in the digital realm.
Your House offers up a combination of accessible and tricky puzzles couched in an interesting story and a tactile, enjoyable series of escape room chapters.
If you want to support a truly hand-crafted game, then please give Your House a try. It’s a fantastic mix of genres that pushes the envelope for what mediums combined together can do. It’s panache and old-world charm make this an indie game worth diving into.
Your House is a competent mystery game that suffers from its own ambition. Its central reading mechanic adds flavor to the experience, and it offers a decent variety of puzzles to keep players engaged. However, the narrative lacks bite, and the difficulty will be a turn-off for some. If you don’t mind a “just okay” story and are open to some wonky solutions, Your House offers some unique puzzle thrills. But just don’t expect a revelatory experience.
‘Your House’ is a short visual novel with well-designed puzzles and a clever hint system if you get stuck, but constant backtracking and a predictable story hold it back. Minor technical issues, like typos and a late-game bug, also detract from the experience.
Patrones & Escondites' Your House stumbles in the most important thing, the puzzles. You are too often left feeling frustrated when you spend too much time on a particular puzzle. However, as a concept, it is interesting and in some ways also unique, which is supported by the clever audiovisual design.

By the end, I wasn’t just satisfied I was genuinely impressed. It’s rare to find a game that handles storytelling this well without falling into predictable patterns or relying on cheap tricks. YOUR HOUSE is a haunting, beautifully crafted experience that I won’t forget anytime soon. Whether you’re a fan of mystery games, visual novels, or just unique indie titles give it a shot. It might just surprise you.
While Your House doesn't live up to its boast of "blurring the lines between genres", it is a compelling visual novel with a decent enough story and some great puzzles along the way. If you're after a gripping mystery to tide you over for an afternoon or two, this one's certainly worth checking out.
What else can I say? I’m in love with YOUR HOUSE. I think it’s a stunning amalgamation of everything I love about good video games and good stories. It feels so good to play, so good to beat the puzzles, and is such an interesting story, I will be singing its praises to anyone who will listen for quite a while. If you love puzzles, escape rooms, good stories, interesting visuals, and great vibes, you should pick up YOUR HOUSE for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
Your House is an interactive text adventure that manages to mix intelligent puzzles to a narrative that stays engaging from start to finish. Even with a relatively short duration — approximately 10 hours (or even less if you don't get stuck in some puzzles like I did) —, there's plenty for those who like an excellent mystery story in which nothing is what it seems — not even your own house, that is, if it really is yours.

Your House is an indie game that focuses on narrative and creative puzzles instead of frantic action or realistic graphics. With an ambitious approach to turning reading into gameplay, it blends mystery, comic book aesthetics, and clever challenges into an interactive experience. The story of the rebellious Debbie in a mansion full of secrets is captivating, and the puzzles require attention to detail and out-of-the-box thinking. Despite its short duration and some occasional bugs, it's a game worth playing for those who enjoy unconventional experiences.

Your House is a game that I can happily say will be another one of those gems in this little corner of the gaming world. The style, the story, the puzzles – everything blends seamlessly together in a way that makes for a nice, satisfying game.
Your House succeeds in delivering a rich and immersive narrative experience, supported by challenging puzzles and a striking visual style. Despite some minor frustrations with navigation and puzzle difficulty, the game’s engaging writing and constant sense of suspense made it hard to put down. It’s not perfect, but the journey through Debbie’s story - and the mysterious house - makes for a memorable and rewarding experience.
YOUR HOUSE offers a graphically quite simple concept, where you almost get the idea that you are playing an old Flash game, where you also have clicking points that take you to the next frame. The illustrations are very nicely done, but all this is slightly limited by the fact that the game only fills a frame of your screen, and not the entire screen. YOUR HOUSE also requires a lot of perseverance. You can ask for hints of course, but even with that you sometimes really have to figure out what the solution is. However, if you really like reading, digging deep and solving puzzles, then this is undoubtedly a great adventure for you. With about five hours of gameplay, including research and a lot of trying and thinking, you will be busy with this narrative game for quite a while.
