Tony, the youngest member of the Cortázar family, journeys to save his loved ones by lifting them mysterious curse that threatens to envenom his old family house.

Overview

The House is a narrative based card game that's suitable for single player or any number of group players acting as one. The game is based on the short story "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortázar. You as the player will be playing as Tony Cortázar, has to investigate as many places as possible and find clues to help you piece together the truth behind this house. You'll also need to utilize the items you discover along your exploration, as they'll come in handy at any moment! Every action costs a Curse Resistance, or CR, and you have a limited amount of CRs avaliable until you reach the inner gate.
