Storytelling and game artisan Patrones & Escondites today announced that its text-driven mystery game YOUR HOUSE will be launching for PC via Steam, iOS and Android on March 27th. Players keen to dive into the mystery can experience the first chapter of the game in the free Steam Next Fest demo, which is available to download now.

To coincide with the announcement, a brand-new trailer was released showcasing the game’s striking noir-comic aesthetic and unique puzzling gameplay.

A game you can read, a book you can play, YOUR HOUSE is a unique text-driven mystery game that seamlessly blends immersive, thriller-fiction with interactive escape-room-like puzzles, to tell a gripping story about the price of chasing your dreams.

Set in the 1990s, it follows Debbie, a rebellious teenager, who upon receiving a cryptic postcard and an old key sets off a mission to uncover the secrets of a mysterious mansion. The house itself is a living puzzle, holding the hidden pasts of three enigmatic characters. As Debbie progresses, she will unravel their intertwined stories; tales of defying societal expectations to pursue personal dreams. The deeper she delves, the more the lines between truth and mystery blur, leading her to a dark, life-altering discovery.

YOUR HOUSE delves into themes of identity, motherhood, and the price of freedom, introducing a fresh storytelling format that explores the boundaries of video games and books. With hidden doors, secret rooms, mysterious objects, and underground passages to explore, players must read and solve intricate puzzles to unlock the house’s deepest secrets and uncover a truth that refuses to stay buried.

The game serves as a prequel to Patrones & Escondites’ award-winning UNMEMORY, but is entirely playable as a standalone title and requires no prior knowledge.

During its development, YOUR HOUSE was selected as part of the EGX Leftfield Collection and AdventureX expos, was recognised as a ‘Hidden Gem’ at DevGAMM, and picked up ‘Best Mobile Game’ at the Malaga Indie Awards.
