The WhatsNext verdict
If you enjoy retro pixel horror built around repeated deaths, experimentation, and piecing together how a lethal house works, House delivers a tense time-loop puzzle box. It suits players who tolerate opaque solutions and restarting runs, especially when the later chapter loses focus.
