Note written 2026-09-04; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

House is a pixel-art horror puzzle game where players navigate a time-loop scenario to keep a family alive through escalating supernatural threats.

House has generated solid lifetime revenues with exceptionally strong review sentiment (95% positive), and maintains steady residual income despite zero promotional activity in the past year. However, recurring crash reports across multiple play sessions represent a material blocker to audience expansion and organic growth. The title is best suited for acquisition by a publisher with technical resources to stabilize the codebase and capitalize on its documented appeal to streaming audiences, rather than revival of its current dormant state. Most realistic play: acquisition.

  • Risk: Multiple player reports of frequent crashes and softlocks persist across sessions, with at least one documented complaint over a year old and unresolved.
  • Risk: Game appears optimized for spectator/stream consumption rather than solo play, limiting core audience addressability.
  • Risk: Zero discount promotions in 12 months and no dev communication until very recently suggest extended inactivity despite steady residual demand.
