CultureHouse is a first-person adventure game of immersive atmosphere and narrative — unsettling and strange, yet strangely cozy.
Research Position Available
You have been hired by a foundation that manages CultureHouse — the former residence and laboratory of a missing scientist. Living within the facility, you will conduct cultivation experiments on a mysterious organism known as the Geneo.
A Civilization in Decline
War and a plague called the Cornea have drastically reduced the human population. Extinction has been averted only through a suppressant discovered by Dr. Ipse, the owner of CultureHouse.
A Home Built for a Scientist and Their Family
Situated on a verdant lakeshore away from the city, the building offers comfortable conditions for both daily life and research.
Dialogue with Visitors
Building relationships with those who come to CultureHouse will gradually bring to light what happened there in the past.
Anomalous Phenomena
Strange occurrences known as Anomaly Subjects appear in and around CultureHouse. Photographing them allows you to harvest a substance called Boundary Crystals, which are required for the cultivation experiments.
Cultivation Experiments: The Key to Human Survival
Whether humanity can be saved from extinction depends entirely on the outcome of the experiments you conduct at CultureHouse.
Q&A
Q. Is CultureHouse a horror game?
A. It is not designed to frighten, but in the sense that it invites unsettling speculation, it is a horror game.
Q. Does it contain jump scares or graphic content?
A. A small amount exists, but as neither is the purpose of the game, such elements are kept restrained.
Q. Can I stream or upload gameplay to YouTube?
A. Streaming is not prohibited. However, as mysteries are distributed throughout the game, following a single playthrough is unlikely to be sufficient for a complete understanding of the story.
Q. Can players who aren't good at games complete it?
A. There are no demanding action sequences or puzzles, so most players should be able to reach the end. That said, fully understanding the story's background and themes requires a different kind of engagement than conventional gaming skill.
