Our take on Bughouse
The listing foregrounds the stalker, atmosphere, secrets, and replayability, but the stated 1-hour duration substantially defines the experience. Multiple endings and hidden areas may add revisits, yet the core scenario remains a compact horror game rather than a long-form campaign.
What is Bughouse?
Bughouse follows Christopher, a child left home alone while an unknown stalker is on the loose.
This survival horror game uses visuals inspired by the PS1 era. Players move through an interactive home, hide in dark areas, search hidden locations for clues, and evade the intruder. Staying in darkness for too long creates an additional danger. The game includes stealth mechanics, multiple endings, an AI-controlled threat, a horror soundtrack, story lore, and hidden secrets.
