SOMEONE IS IN THE HOUSE
A downloadable game for Windows
SOMEONE IS IN THE HOUSE
You wake up at 3:17 AM.
Something is moving downstairs.
At first, it’s just footsteps. A floorboard. A sound in the hallway that could be the house settling.
Then your phone lights up.
Someone is inside.
SOMEONE IS IN THE HOUSE is a short psychological home-invasion horror game built around tension, sound, and uncertainty. You’re trapped in your bedroom while an intruder moves through the house, reacts to what you do, and slowly learns your habits.
There is no weapon. No combat.
You can only listen, hide, lock the door, check the hallway, watch the window, use your phone, and try to figure out where it is before it reaches you.
The problem is that eventually, you won’t know if you can trust what you hear.

A lot of the game’s information is delivered through sound, and knowing which direction a noise came from can be the difference between staying alive and opening the door at the wrong time.
