Description
Destroy the evil at the heart of a haunted manor! As an orphan, you discovered your ability to commune with the spirit world and ghosts. When your uncle Kent mysteriously disappears, you'll embark on a journey to find out what really happened. With your trusty companion Devanand at your side, you make your way to Darnecroy Manor, where Kent was last seen. It is...The House.
"Heart of the House" is 360,000-word interactive Gothic novel by Nissa Campbell. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Within the manor, you'll encounter the master, Lord Bastian Reaves; his mysterious servants, Oriana and Loren; and the thousands of spirits teeming around and in this haunted mansion. But will you shatter the power that binds the ghosts to the House, or claim it for yourself? Can love bloom in a haunted house? Most importantly, how will you escape when the House comes for you?
• Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, bi, ace, or poly
• Explore the halls of the House, even as they seem to shift before your eyes
• Encounter ghosts, spirits, and echoes, as you search for your lost Uncle Kent
• Fight against an ancient evil or embrace its demonic gifts
• Indulge in steamy, chaste, sweet, or provocative romances, or go it alone
• Exploit the secrets you find for self-serving ends or use them to help your friends
• Defeat your greatest fears in bone-chilling moments of terror...if you can
• Choose whom you can save, if anyone, from the horrors the House contains
For some, there may be no escape from The Heart of the House.

Ratings and Reviews
Just WOW
Out of all the Choice novels I’ve played, this by far is my favourite, I’m so excited to play all the routes. The writing in this novel is just amazing, and I found myself fully immersed in the story. I would definitely recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a small break from the real world! :D
Enthralling narrative, complex characters
Very refreshing to find a choice of game that not only allows you to be trans or nb and use “they” pronouns, but also brings it up at points throughout the story alongside a canon nb character. Feels good.
The writing style is nothing but superb and adds to the narrative’s complexities. This thriller-horror adventure consistently delves into the uncanny and sometimes uncomfortable, but never in a way i would say made me feel especially gross over. Its fantastic for replaying as the narrative shifts based on who you choose to grow close to, and you cant grow especially close with everyone in one single playthrough (its best if you play it focusing on one or two characters per run i find!). The story is immediately gripping and had me interested from the get go.
My only issue would be some of the word choice surrounding one of the characters of colour. It gets sort of weird i think... twice, and then is fine.
Amazing !!
This story can make you feel every emotion at once, I enjoyed it thoroughly and I highly recommend it.
