The House

The House is an online escape game where you wake up disoriented in a bedroom with no memory of how you got there. You sense something is wrong as you glance out the window and see chaos unfolding outside. Broken objects, buildings, and trees float ominously in mid-air, creating an unnatural atmosphere.

In this horror-themed adventure, you must search every corner of the house. Collect keys and seemingly ordinary items that hold the key to your freedom. The puzzles are not just simple logic tests; they also add another layer of horror and mystery. You need to solve visual and numerical challenges that will push your mind to the limit. 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?
