What is Hold your houses?
Hold your houses is an action-strategy game about defending homes from armed robbers.
Players use points earned during play to obtain weapons, including pistols, assault rifles, and shotguns, from cupboards and walls. Windows and doors can be barricaded to delay intruders and create time to respond.

Its play loop centers on choosing weapons, preparing the house, slowing intruders, and responding to repeated attacks.
