Heart of the House

I'll be honest. I did not expect this to last more than an hour and a half and thought of it little more than a ghost story in the CoG lineup. I was pleasantly surprised to find it a well written Lovecraft-inspired (albeit with some minor typos or coding errors, mostly to do with Bastion/Sophia and their pronouns) work, worth the asking price. The chapters are of a decent length and have a good pace to them, even the labyrinth surprising me on my consecutive playthroughs with having more than on

Highly recommend.

I love CoGs. I have all my current games sorted by genre on my second page of apps, and I purchase all my favorite games on steam so that they are doubly available to play. Usually I restrain my interest to the brand, but this game has me wanting a fandom like all my favorite novels and television shows.

I was engrossed for most of the day. Solid writing, although not better than what you'll find in any run-of-the-mill book set in this period. The story starts to come apart at the end; the writing gets broader, less specific, and choices you have made are referenced incorrectly, not built on, etc. A warning: I bought this because I like ghost stories, but this is a Lovecraftian story. If you're not into Cthulu derivatives, maybe skip.

This is a lovecraftian horror game. It’s less about jumps and more about the unknown. It’s a fantastic mystery game that kept me hooked through the entire night. I eagerly await a second installment. I know there likely won’t be one but I will wait none the less.
