Our take on The House Sitter's 5 Nights

The defining detail is the five-night deadline: household chores must be completed by 6 AM while a vengeful ghost becomes more aggressive each night.

What is The House Sitter's 5 Nights?

Play as a house sitter who must complete chores while surviving five nightmarish nights until 6 AM.

A vengeful ghost haunts the house, becoming more aggressive as the nights pass. Daily messages from Dale, the homeowner, suggest that he is hiding something. VHS tapes placed around the house reveal the events behind the haunting, if there is enough time to find and play them. Chores are randomized and increase in difficulty. Household problems also interrupt the work: a broken breaker can go off suddenly, while a broken furnace creates another danger. Achievements can be earned for surviving every night and for finding and playing the tapes.
