Our take on The House: A Maple Street Story
The focus on silent tension and investigation gives up combat and conventional action. Progress instead depends on exploring the house, interpreting scattered evidence, and solving puzzles while the threat remains largely unseen.
What is The House: A Maple Street Story?
The House: A Maple Street Story is a first-person psychological horror experience set inside a cursed family home.
Exploration reveals rooms connected to violence, disturbing memories, and an unknown force that stalks the house. Letters, radio recordings, and visions expose the family’s history through a non-linear narrative. The building responds to the player’s presence and changes as its secrets emerge.
