You wake up as a House. Your bones are pipes and tunnels. Your organs are a labyrinth of caves. The House Before is a narrative body horror adventure where you play as a monstrous structure filled with strange creatures.
You wake up as a House.
Your limbs stretch through endless rooms filled with grotesque creatures. You can never see outside of yourself, never feel the world that lies beyond your flesh.
Every corner of your anatomy is seething with terror. Every inch of your skin is painted with intricate wounds, etched long before you were born.
And yet, there is life inside you: shapeless haunts, organic material with barely any purpose, save to despise you for crimes committed aeons ago.
GAMEPLAY:
The House Before is an interactive horror story about the wreckages of history and the terror of being trapped inside one's own body.
The game blends elements of visual novels and adventure with simple mini-games.
