Stay Out of the House

You play as a captive in the home of a cannibal serial killer, with three days to find a way out. You can focus on your own escape or try to help other captives.

Explore the house, search for useful items and clues, and solve environmental puzzles to open new routes. Move quietly, hide from the Butcher, and watch for traps and objects that can give away your position.

Plan how to use the tools and hazards around you: the Butcher responds to noise, and some traps can be turned against him. Limited resources and escalating consequences for capture make each attempt risky; different choices can lead to multiple endings.

Reviewers often highlight the oppressive retro VHS-style atmosphere, sound, and the tension of exploring while the Butcher hunts them. They also enjoy piecing together the house’s puzzles and routes, and some value the different endings and reasons to replay. A recurring caveat is that some puzzle clues can be hard to interpret, while the long opening and later sections receive mixed reactions; several reviewers say the killer feels less threatening once they learn his behavior.
