Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding them back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.

Stay Out of the House brings the scares, blood, and nostalgic horror in a way that not many games can.

Stay Out of the House proves that you don't need realistic graphics for a fear-inducing experience. It's one of the scariest games ever!

Stay Out of the House very easily could have become overbearing to the point of headache-inducing. Fear and tension can only maintain a high for so long until the feeling becomes tiresome. Stay Out of the House masterfully balances the horror and game mechanics into a beautifully cohesive nightmare… just don’t try to pet the other dog.

Puppet Combo's latest title makes its way to consoles, but is this a house you'll want to stay away from or never leave?

The developers have promised a day one patch to address these issues, and judging by the updates the game received on PC, I'm inclined to trust them. However, at this moment I still recommend Stay Out of the House, but only the tried-and-true original PC version.
