I really enjoyed this. It's much more complex than it seems at first. It really takes some figuring to find all three endings. And I can't tell you how many times I forgot about those DAMN spikes!
Reviews for "House"

When we first implemented the spikes I think I died around 15 times in a row to them, lol.
If you decapitate the girl while she is still on the chair, you can still talk to her and she will still go to the bathroom. It cracks me up.
Now where is that gun?
isaacnite responds:
Oooooooops! We are fixing that now. lol
This game is beautiful, has scary music and fresh ideas, like the light switches and the clock as "timer".
I realy like the atmosphere - I was pretty scared.
You guys are very talented!
4/5 Stars, because of some Bugs - but thats okay.
I would like to play more games made by you!
Short, but conveyed the intended creepy feeling effectively, this reminded me a little bit of Lakeview Cabin.
My only complaint is the transition of the map, it's a little...I dunno what's the proper word for it...it has something to do with the way the camera pans to focus when she walks into large rooms. It does not feel right.
I can understand the way the gun is implemented, but a hint of where your fire can actually hit would be nice, because, I did not know I missed the target in the first time I tried to use it, I was given the impression that maybe the gun can only be used for a specific target.
(Which is false, you can fire at any living target.)
Another thing I'd like to suggest is a more flexible time constraint based on the kitty's location. I think it is a nice touch (the randomness), but it also create problems in replays when the kitty happens to be in farther locations. I would not say its location pretty much determined what kind of ending you can get, but it did impose noticeable time penalties.
(It's both a pro and con I'd say. Having less time also means players cannot be certain if they can make it in time, adding tension)
I look forward for the enhanced version (as you've mentioned you intend to add more stuff into it in review responses). That'd be 4~4.5 stars in my book, and 5 if you make it into a full blown game, like Lakeview Cabin.
Scare?!?!?!?
