Description

The house is haunted. That's the least of your problems.

This is a game about a house and its tenant.

You are the Tenant. Your new home is many things. Huge. Sprawling. Too much for you. A refuge. A prison.

In this solo, journalling roleplaying game of gothic horror, move into an eerie, dilapidated house that may well be the death of you. Resist the ghosts, fix the damage, shoulder the demands and burdens of the outside world, and wrestle with your own melancholy.

This Wretched House uses the Wretched & Alone system, so you'll need a six-sided die, a pack of cards, and an optional wooden block tower. This Wretched House includes instructions on how to use additional playing cards instead of the block tower.

Content Warnings

Wretched & Alone games are horror experiences. Characters encounter a variety of traumatic experiences and rarely achieve a positive outcome. This Wretched House in particular is a game about depression which may end in suicide, though this is a choice fully under the player's control. As part of the gothic horror subgenre, it also features unreliable senses and gaslighting.
