Ah, the 70s. What a great decade that was. Many great bands made a lot of epic music in the 70s. Acts such as AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden and Whitesnake.
Well, guess what? Red Aphid´s puzzle/adventure mobile game “The House on Usher“, just happens to take place in the 70s as well.
You play as”Angie Dee”, a really smart agent that´s has to look through a mysterious (haunted?) house as her first assignment. And that (of course) means both adventure, problem solving and brain exercise! And if that sounds like your kind of mobile game.
Then keep your eyes open for The House on Usher. Because it´s set for a release worldwide launch next week (2th of December).
About The House on Usher:
Getting an old house ready for a big sale is tricky—particularly when it’s trying to kill you!
That’s the basic plot in THE HOUSE ON USHER, a quirky hidden object game that spoofs staples of the genre every chance it gets:
The player takes on the role of bright-eyed Agent Angie Dee who must “flip” a mysterious ramshackle house during her first day on the job at Homer Echers Real Estate. As Angie, players explore the property, tidy it up, and put themselves on the path to riches . . . as long as they prevent the house’s murderous instincts from prematurely ending their career. Set in the 1970s, the game’s offbeat humor is augmented by many “groovy” pop culture references related to the decade.
Key features:
* A hidden object mystery with an irreverent sensibility
* Full of quirky characters and silly gags
* Cleaning!! Find bugs and cobwebs to increase the house’s resale value
* Easy and “more easier” modes for the puzzle-challenged
* Test your knowledge of 1970s pop culture!
* Zoom and hints to help you investigate every nook and cranny
Pricing:
The House on Usher is free to download and play. The ground floor is unlocked from the
beginning—but if the player chooses to go upstairs, the remainder of the house can be
purchased for a one-time fee of $3.99.
