  • Description: A house in the middle of the woods has being sitting here for years. Rumors have speculated that the person who once owned this house has mysteriously disappeared off the face of the earth and no one seems to remember anything about it at all. As an investigator, it's up to you to check and see what secrets lie within this treacherous home. Uncover the lost bits of somebody's past and find out what really happened here.

    This game was initally a project for my New Media Perspectives class in college. I was never expecting to make a fully finished game out of it, but after a while I began it get interested in what I was making and expanded upon what I've started. Now after about 2 months of hard work I've been able to make my first ever text-based game. I hope you enjoy what I've made so far. If you ever happen to find a bug or any spelling/grammar error, please contact me at 0516jgl@gmail.com so that I can fix it ASAP. Thank you and enjoy! (P.S. - Anyone who sends me weird and stupid crap or whatever will be blocked and/or put into the black hole that is my spam folder.)
