Jan. 2025

this is a reallyy nice indie game that has approx 2-3h playtime and the most important downside is the difficulty of understanding what you need to do to progress. personally, I used a guide but even so I still enjoyed this !

It's certainly an interesting take on a horror game. The game is split into 4 chapters or minigames that each has their own game mechanic that makes them unique to eachother. It's hard to talk about the gameplay elements of each chapter without spoiling things that will be revealed. But the game does an excellent job of having you interact with various machinery and solving various "puzzles" to progress the game, and these were quite fun to do. The game uses the "text based game" mechanic quite a lot and is done fairly decently, however by using this archaic type of game, it also comes with all of the issues that text based games had. Where the most common message you'll be seeing is "i'm sorry i don't understand what you're meaning" since you have to be quite specific on what you need to write, so if English isn't your first language, you can have a hard time figuring out what sentence the devs wanted you to use. But when it's used in the game, it is still supported by great atmosphere and genuine tension. Graphically it looks great and each chapter is distinct, not much to fault on that department. The sounds are great and further drags you into the atmosphere and immersion of the game, only critique i could say is that the "startup" sound of the textbased game is immensly hard to listen to, but i dont know if that was made to sound authentic or to be unnerving. The story is you trying to unravel some sort of incident that has happened or is happening and while it does have a lot of intrigue at the start, the end result was still fine, but less than i was expecting. But at the same time, it was predictable and i had already started to piece things togethere between the second and third chapter. In regards to horror, i'd say the best in that department was chapter 1 and 2, the first for the usual uneasy horror feel and the second chapter for more the discomfort of what you're watching. The other chapters didn't really feel as good on that department. While the 3rd was the weakest on horror, it was the most fun in it's gameplay mechanics. While i still will recommend it to people, i got it on sale for dirt cheap, i wouldn't probably have bought it at full price. So my recommendation is if you're looking for some horror games that tries to do something outside the ordinary, i'd say give this a shot, but perhaps at a sale.

Fantastic little game. Probably 2 - 3 hours for a playthrough if you aren't rushing. Picked up for a buck and it's the best dollar I've spent in a while.

Oct. 2024

A very good game, combining horror elements with fnatasy, sci fi, and thriller. Its a narrative game, with some light puzzle solving here and there, but nothing too complicated.

Aug. 2024

A very peculiar game that gets the gears turning. Each chapter with it's own unique premise, gameplay mechanics and unsettling settings to accompany them. It almost feels like an anthology with completely no correlation until you dig deep. Definitely a worthy play that left me wishing there were more games like it to promote other unseen tragedies in a storytelling light. Sure, the text in The House Abandon might be a little rough around the edges, but what else should be expected of a text based game? Options are limited to point you in a progressive direction. That's what's necessary. This is the way it's meant to be made, meant to be played. This game is very unique in many aspects and definitely worth a buy. No shame in following guides because the game is meant to be experienced for the plot.
