For Rent: Haunted House

1. You can't be male or female as the game treats you as a genderless brick. 2. The stat increases are inconsistent with the choices. What I mean by that is that you may choose 3 choices to increase one stat and yet if you restart and repeat, those same choices may give you less than the previous play through even tho none of your choices have differed. 3. The whole point of this game is to rent out your (supposedly) ruthless boss lady's property and make enough money to prove your worth, beat your rival and get a promotion. Problem is, every time you have a nice chunk of change coming in from tenants, the author throws in some asinine wrench to disrupt your cash counting. Examples: 1. My first tenant was a Man and his family. This paranoid loon kept blowing up my phone every 2 minutes saying he heard weird noises in his place. I go to check it out, find nothing and he apologizes for disturbing me. Again he calls me claiming he is hearing things and ask to be let out of his lease. O...

Usually I very much enjoy Choice Of games, but this onw was honestly a little boring. There was almost no social aspect, and no real relationships. It feels quite short and left me with no strong feelings. This particular story is genuinely just a straigtforward "What would it be like to be a real estate agent who isn't particularily good at anything and has a kind of vreepy house?" There were so many spots I thought so much more would happen, but ended up being a loose end or just not flushed out at all making it feel rushed. My biggest complaint though would probably be lack of control over who my character was. Several times throughout I was forced to choose options I would never want to pursue and just left me feeling bad about it. I genuinely don't feel satisfied having spent money on this story. I really wanted to like it.

Very charming and smirk-inducing. Combines the Jeeves-esque with the spooky, with engaging results. The only weakness is a slightly slow start.

Honestly a great story. I only went through it so quickly because I had already read it on my phone. I'd give it an 8/10.

I quite enjoyed it! I've got only 1 ending so far but I'll definitely play more! [spoiler] I feel like I did my boy Russell dirty, so gotta try and save him next time! [/spoiler]

Good game. Has some great humor in it, and it's fun to play. It lets you make some pretty fun and unexpected decisions that impact the rest of the story. Recommended
