Reid House

From its sentinel up in the hill, the house watches the road from afar as its windows appear to blink.

A submission for Game Off 2024 — this year's theme was "secrets."

⚠︎ TW: Disturbing imagery and audio, a lot of cockroaches, animal death, swearing

Short point-and-click adventure where you walk around a rotting house. Inspired by H.P Lovecraft's "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" and Mike Flanagan's adaptation of "The Haunting of Hill House." ~20 minutes of gameplay assuming you interact with every object.

This is my very first game ever; expect bugs. No pun intended. I may give this a complete post-jam remake sometime in the future. Who knows?

Made with Godot 4.3. Art made with Clip Studio Paint EX.

Report any issues in the comments, pretty please. They'll be annotated and fixed as soon as I'm able to.

KNOWN TROUBLES

Consider downloading the game for the best experience! The web version has some delay and some audio issues. Nothing game-breaking.

If you can't click the X in the dialogue box, try clicking it from the bottom right. This is an issue in other games and is probably just a thing to do with collision boxes acting a little stupid.

I've got two reports of the file being recognized as dangerous. I will try to look for a way to prevent this. Be patient!
