About this game

It tells the story of Carlos' journey after he receives a distress call from his father, pleading for him to return to his old home and rescue his dad.
As he continues exploring the house, Carlos encounters many terrifying yet 'cute' monsters. As he solves the puzzles before him, he draws ever closer to the truth...

Freud once said: "Love and work, work and love...that's all there is."
But what of the pain, the struggles that arise
when we're forced to choose between our ambitions and love?
In dealing with such conundrums, we’ve all likely hurt those we hold dearest to us.
For it's often in the darkness that we feel most safe.
With Dad's Monster House, I wish to provide those kinds of heartrending memories a chance at redemption.
I dedicate it to scientists, to my childhood dreams;
to those I love, and to faded memories.
I hope that within you'll find the greatest of answers, be they for your love, for science, or dreams.

[Gameplay]
A sudden call in the deep of night has you return to a house you haven't visited for many a year. You must unravel one puzzle after another: to from within scenes intertwined with memories find clues and get to the bottom of your father's secret.
The choice of whether to redeem or ultimately end this sad story lies in your hands.

[Features]
Instead of going for bright and vivid colors, I have opted for a black-and-white art style. The fragmented narration, plentiful puzzles, and delicate sound designs create an immersive experience where you as the player get to truly feel the ups and downs of the protagonist's emotions. Continue to unravel the story as you collect more items...
Dad's Monster House is a hand-drawn puzzle game featuring horror and fantasy.

Fun game so far! Would love an option for hints, sometimes I have to take a few days off to then approach with fresh eyes (this wasn't a bad thing tbh, though. Also I'm not sure if the drawing pad is part of a puzzle or if mine is just glitched out. It is red & white with some blocks, the X in the corner is visible but it's very weird Love the game, excited to try to play through a second/third time for the different endings & seeing how fast I can get though it

Beautiful, well constructed puzzle game with memorable story and characters. I understand that they used "second person" movement and interaction to establish the player character and show his reactions. But I did not enjoy how much slower and more awkward the gameplay was as a result. Some objects seemed very difficult for my character to pick up. I still highly recommend this game and the Isoland games by the same creator. Well worth my money. Thank you!

One of their weakest games. It was simple to figure out some of the puzzles, but others were almost impossible without searching the answer (specifically the diamond puzzle). The controls were irritating at times too. I made it to the end but finally gave up when I was literally just pressing stuff on the screen to see if there were any objects I missed. Kind of disappointed, most of their games are enjoyable
