You, and The House is a solo journaling game about living in a haunted house. 

Describe the perfect home,  the circumstances around it, and yourself before you dive into the rest of the game. Use 1d6 and a full tarot deck to learn the story of what happens to you in the house and, ultimately, whether or not you decide to stay. 

-----

You, and the House is a Princess Sword game, based on Anna Anthropy’s Princess with a Cursed Sword, available at w.itch.io.

The title is an homage to Jacob Geller's essay titled, "Control, Anatomy, and the Legacy of the Haunted House," which I highly recommend watching if you enjoyed this game.

Included in your downloads are four version of this game: 

A digital version, which is recommended for those who would like a fully formatted version to print but don't care about it being in a booklet format. This is based off the original design for the book, and is in a square format.
A printable version, for folks who want the full 'zine experience. This version should be printed at 100%, back-and-front, with your printer settings adjusted to print a booklet. Alternately, this could be printed on a site like Mixam.com for professional quality printing. This version is resigned as of March 2024, to include a new cover design and interior cover artwork.
A one-page version, which includes all the text from the game, just on one page of ease of printing at home. 
A trifold version, in case you'd rather conserve space by having the game on a brochure. 
And a text only version, for folks who want no frills or an easy version to print.

Couldn't comment on my 5star rating but wanted to say I really enjoyed this game. I loved the premise and the time limit really helps focus on what is going on and ramp up the action almost like a movie rather than prolong the inevitable.

my full review and playthrough is on my blog. I did create some rolling tabled to generate the house because I was stuck in choice paralysis at the beginning otherwise.
