House of Horrors
You've gotten evicted from your home. Luckily, a friend of yours offers her home for you to stay in, but there's a lot more to it than meets the eye. Creatures of all types are lurking just behind the corner, and you need to figure out who you can trust before it's too late.
Good luck.
Author's note: I may or may not have worked on this for three/four months so I could publish it on Oct 31st. I hope you'll enjoy this game!!

i absolutely LOVED this game!! truly such an amazing story and it deserves more light fs <33 and wondering if you have any concept art at all? would LOVE to see how you view the blue man, not sister, and the thing!💗
Thank you so much, I’m really glad you loved it!! 💕 I spent a lot of time writing and creating it so it makes me happy when people like my work! I have concept art in my head but I haven’t put anything down on paper/digital, I am planning to but I’m not sure when honestly 😅 I do have a one shot that was commissioned with the blue man, not sister, and the thing on my AO3 and Tumblr and have more writings for them for sure, but as for art stuff I’m still working on it!
This was amazing, cozy but creepy. Awesome job
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!! I’m very glad you liked it! 🫶🏻
you're welcome
The true horror of this was the milk before cereal
Pls this made me snort 😭 lmao
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED TF?
Also tell me why I formed an emotional connection to the blue man, despite my first mental image of him being LITERALLY THE NEIGBOUR BLUE GUY FROM CORALINE? Welp, he's definatelly going on my "Guardian figures" comfort characters list along with Gaster and The Narrator(Stanley Parable). Thank you for blessing me with this experience. You should definatelly pursue writing, you are very skilled.
Ahhh thank you so much!! I agree that's it's underrated hdshfj (ironically (?) my first game got a lot more ratings and comments on it despite me working on it less, though this one did get it's fair share of comments on Reddit which made me happy :") )
The emotional connection was definitely supposed to happen! He does not look like the neighbor blue guy from Coraline but that image made me laugh lmaoo. Do you mean Gaster from Undertale? (Undertale is one of my favorite games, though Outlast is definitely a close second!) I've heard of the Stanley Parable but never played it myself! I'm sure it's great, I'll need to play it sometime!
And you're welcome! This comment put a smile on my face and I was elated when I read it tbh. The fact that people like what I create makes me overjoyed. :") I am currently in the (slow) process of working on a book plus other video games (and animations, like I said) so there's definitely more to come!
I actually found you through the game which I think you're talking about! I always do this little thing where I try to check out the profiles of people who made games I enjoyed, and I'm so glad I did this time :)
I definately don't doubt the emotional connection was supposed to happen, afterall you appear to be a skilled writer so I know that you know what you're doing. Also, I'm not saying I completely think he looks like the neighbour guy from Coraline, that just so happened to be the first thing that came to mind when I saw "blue guy" in a haunted house story, and I thought it was funny so I included it in my comment-glad it made you laugh! Also yes, I definately meant Gaster from Undertale!
I'm glad my comment made you so happy, and I'm SUPER GLAD there's more to come. Looking forward to it all <3/p
I do the exact same thing! If I like a person's work, I typically check out their profile as well to see if they made anything else and follow them if I liked their work/works! I'm glad you did as well, thank you for taking the time to view my profile and games (and for the follow and reviews as well)!
I've been writing since I was a kid and I also like reading a lot plus playing interactive fiction games as well, I really enjoy it! I thought the neighbor guy being the first image to pop into your head was funny as well, as it did make me laugh. I had a feeling it was from Undertale, it's one of my favorite games so when I read Gaster I was like "that's gotta be from Undertale" lol. My favorite is Sans from there though! I love puns.
I'm glad that you're looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to making more stuff as well! Thank you very much for the support, it means a lot to me. :") <3 /p
Greetings from Iran. I really enjoyed it. well done. Why don't you publish it on PlayStore?
CAN YOU MAKE IT SO WE CAN BECOME FRIENDS WITH THE NOT SISTER PLEASE I BEG YOU
Hi!! Thank you for the comment (and the politeness!) So currently there's no path to be friends with the not sister, however! I might/can work on there being a path and add an extra comment/reply to you when it's done!
Thank youuuuuuuu :)
Of course!! I'll let you know!
Hi! I'm late but I made a small path to become somewhat closer to the not sister! I just updated the game.

AAAA. I became a blue man (?) in my first ending!!!! (Do not ask why I kept thinking: can I romance him somehow can I romance him SOMEHOW. I've been living in filth. BUT HE'S SO COOL. YOU MADE HIM SO INTERESTING.) I haven't done my second play through yet since it's like...11PM but I love ALLLLLL of this! You've executed this concept so well! And the blurriness and confusion with certain, err, times (not gonna spoil stuff) is SUCH a nice touch. I also love how the characters aren't quite cardboard cutouts (human or otherwise) but very rounded ones. I'm looking forward to your upcoming works!! Happy late Halloween tho <3333
And yes, I made an account specifically to send a short ish (for me, at least) reply. Kudos to you again!! Sending cookies for your work 🍪🍪🍪
(And do you have any visuals for your supernatural characters? Just curious!)
Ahh, I'm honored that you made an account specifically to comment on my work!! I'm going to reply to everything you had to say! At the end, it doesn't have to be a man, it's whatever gender the person playing is! So if the player's a man, it'll be blue man, if the player's a woman, it'll be blue woman, if the player's non-binary, genderfluid, etc, it'll be blue being! Honestly just blue being works. ALSO LISTEN. I made the blue man that way on purpose hiusjdsid. I seem to have a thing for cocky but also threatening characters that are also protective. :^) Not gonna lie I would also try to romance him if possible. If this was a horror/romance game you could absolutely romance him but alas it's horror lol. There is only one ending in terms of that, but there are different choices throughout, as you can probably see irfjiodfj. I do my best to not make flat characters if possible. Happy late Halloween!! <3 I do have some visuals! I can send them over Reddit if you want! I do however also want to draw/animate them as well (I'm slowly learning on my own free time lol) so it's better than some visuals / so that it's more accurate!
OMG YES PLEASE SEND THEM OVER u/autovonmolokov (the name was from a bet..) !!!! I WOULD LOVE TO MAKE SKETCHES OF WHAT YOU'VE MADE :000
For some reason I can't find you! My username is allmysystemsrnervous !
I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM TOO PLEASE AAAAA^o^
LITERALLY! I'm kind of imagining the blue man as the blue neighbour guy from coraline, ngl
this was so good omg I'm so glad I got to check out your work. it was rlly fun n I enjoyed the emphasis on the rules & that different timelines exist even w/ different choices. it was a lil funny though how the player ends up going into the basement even if you try not to I was like WHAT? no, stupid, I said don't go in there! haha anyway good job, am proud of you! I will have to try again to find other endings by making dumbass choices
My heart is so full of love for you aaa!! I'm really glad you liked it and that you liked the emphasis on the rules (it's why at the beginning the player needs to remember (or try to) the rules lol) and yes!! There are a lot of different choices the player can make and each one leads to a different thing most times, but yeah the player is just like "I NEED ANSWERS. GIMME ANSWERS" and then bam basement lmao. Thank you so much for playing and being proud of me, I appreciate you!! Good luck with the other choices lol (am sending love ur way)
