This Wretched House

This Wretched House by Chant Evans

 is a Wretched and Alone game about running from your past into the arms of a home you cannot leave. You are hounded by new and old hauntings, both mundane and supernatural, driving you to either flee or dig deeper into the clutches of the home. 

Unlike other Wretched and Alone games, this game does not have a "win" condition with tokens, instead you are asked to return all the heart cards, representing Hauntings, back to the deck as they can occur more than once during the story. This is both a blessing and a curse as does allow for various themes and repetition to emerge during the story, however it can also significantly prolong the game as each time you shuffle the chances of pulling a King is randomized each shuffle, and not every heart card will ask you to pull from the tower. But this is very easy to fix, and if you find your game going long you can simply start discarding heart cards instead of re-shuffling.

I wrote about a man running from a crime involving another unrelated set of hauntings, which became entwined with the house's own hauntings until he inevitably decided that he was going to stay in the house forever. You can find it HERE
