Background Story ————————————————-

It’s 1972. Love is free. Flipflops, English leather and bandanas are the height of fashion. Meanwhile the Cold War is more than lukewarm and a real one is going on overseas. Movements are happening. Environmentalists, the female liberties movement, and on the dance floors an entirely different kind of movement is overtaking the underground clubs. The winds of change are certainly blowing over the country.

Somewhere in the big city, in a tall, faceless government building someone left a window open. All the winds of change are doing here is blowing leaves all over Joe’s newly-swept floor. He’s been there for two years now. Working a dead-end attendant job making sure the building is as spotless as the suits walking the halls. It’s been like this for years, going from one soul-devouring job to the next.

Our protagonist is Joe in more than just name. He is quite literally Joe Average. Average height, average weight, average IQ. In fact, the only thing remotely remarkable about him is exactly how much he conforms to the median of the hypothetical everyman, and up until this point, Joe’s life hasn’t exactly been biography material.

This is all about to change…

Right up until the end we loved the story and enjoyed the puzzles. Really a great time.


This has to be one of the best puzzle games ever played. We wish y’all would make another one like this like add on.


Downloaded the free version looking for something to do, and immediately had to buy the rest of the game. From the get-go the game grabs your attention simple click and use puzzles and an intriguing storyline to keep you busy. Our only complaint is that the game wasn’t longer. Will be on the lookout for more games from this creator and any sequels to come!


Well worth the money for us, although it did feel a bit short. We still really enjoyed it!


This game is one of the best adventure games we’ve ever played. The thing which is really nice to us is that it has Persian language, too! So we can play the game while we understand the story completely. We thank the developers. We wish them the best that life has to offer.


This is the best game we have ever played, and the only one of its kind. Please make more games soon! We’ve been waiting literal years to have that enjoyment again.


Good gameplay perfect graphics and the story is very exiting.


We have played this story over 30 times and it never gets old. It has one of the best storys of any game we have ever played. 11/10 would play again.


"The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world." -G-Man.


If you like great stories that make you want to play again and again, just get this game. The puzzles are fun and not super hard, but if you dont like puzzle games, still get this game and just use a walkthrough so you can get the story. Absolutely loved it. About to start on the second time through. Great job.


We dont really play video games and have never had a real interest in them, but this game we thoroughly enjoyed. Its user friendly and has a spooky/interesting feel and storyline. Almost like reading a novel, but you get to participate. Plus we love how it looks. Highly recommend!!


This game is great no doubt about it but we get stuck a lot but when Id still give it 5 stars.


Its a perfect game. We have nothing else to say. We loved it. Play it. Its worth your money. Believe me.


Dear, House on Fire The story and the puzzle element is so good! The lore is great too! And we can honestly say that the $4.99 or whatever it was for chapter two was SO worth it! We hope you go on to do great things.


This was a such an inexpensive, fun, retro journey. We’re a casual gamer and this was advanced enough to keep our attention while still allowing us to enjoy the adventure without resorting to looking up hints on how to navigate through the game.


Now, it’s a odd game don’t get us wrong but the oddness brings every element of the game together. It’s so good we might set our house on fire lol.


We love this game! Even after playing through it we keep going back to it. Its a great way to pass the time, especially since we have to stay home because there isnt school anymore. We would absolutely recommend the game!


Played this game through a long time ago. Still love though the developer hasnt really done much since as far as doing other games that Im aware of.


This game was really fun to play, yeah you do have to buy the second episode, but in our opinion it was worth it!


We loved this game we’ve played it like a 100 times but K would really like if there was a second game to it.


A great adventure game. Puzzles are not too difficult and keeps the story moving. Only two episodes makes it a quick play. Would like to see more episodes released for this title to elaborate on storyline and extend game play.


We literally loved this game. Its extremely rare for us to spend money to upgrade or purchase a next level or chapter of an app, and this was the first time we did because we were just that invested. Really really good, gonna go find more games like this :)


Fantastic, captivating story. Fun and intriguing. We really loved this game.


Absolutely pure genius. Fantastic Story! Never played anything like it! Worth every penny. Was super addicting we just couldnt stop thinking about what happens next! Please make more like this im begging you!


Probably the greatest game we have ever played. Would love to get more chapters!


We love this game and all the puzzles within it, which makes it fun and unique from other games. We do wish though that yall would make more episodes to play! Although its 5$ to purchase the second episode, we think its definitely a no brainer to buy the second episode to play this AWESOME game! And please, please, please make more episodes. Thanks for reading.


The best game ever well kinda it has good graphics and its a cool game in general we recamend it to everyone.


Now we’ve been playing since the start of the game and its only getting better good job!


We’ve only played through the first episode so far (but will definitely be buying the second) and we love this games dynamic and the way you are able to solve puzzles! Its awesome how both present and future collide, and you can use things from different time lines to help yourself move forward in the game. We’ve been looking for interesting adventure/puzzle games with a cool story that we could play on our iPad, and this is one! Again, we will definitely be buying the second episode!


This Is, The Best, Game Ever, No Adds, No Need To Play For Most Stuff, No Lag, NOTHING OF THAT! But The Best Part Is, Get Ready, The People Who Made It! We Want To Thank Them To Making This Addictive And Enjoyable Game!


Please bring a part 3!!! Beautiful, stunning game. Side-scroller like "Day of the tentacle."


We absolutely loved this game! It’s like being a part of a movie. The story is very interesting and the puzzles are challenging enough to be engaging while easy enough to be enjoyable. It is totally worth the $5. We wish they would make a sequel!


Any chance of another. Any games similar?


We wish there were more games like this out there. Easy going, play at your own pace. They did a great job at giving the right ambiance and over all feel of the game. Hopefully hey will release more!


Intriguing story with challenging gameplay that isn’t overly difficult. The best adventure game we’ve ever played on iOS.


This is one of our favorite apps on the App Store we remember playing it when we were younger then waiting for part 2 to come out so we got it again and its so fun! The graphics and style of it all is awesome and we just love it and wish there was more!


SO FUN ALSO PLS MAKE MORE AND MAKE CHAPTER 2 FOR FREE!!!!


Playing this during a flu-like pandemic sent chills down our spine. Wow. Amazing. Great story. Can we expect more episodes?


Best game ever!!!!! We want more!!!!!!!


When we first downloaded this game we were not expecting it to be so unique and just downright Awsome. We loved everything about it. We would 100% recommended you to try out this game!


After finishing and loving the game inside we went out to find a game just as good. Despite our very high hopes and expectations, we loved this game, and even after the very long running unpredictable story and puzzles, we want more! It is definitely worth the five dollars, and we will play again! The only downside is the length, it took around five hours, but there wasnt a second that we were not entertained.


Amazing! We were completely hooked from the start. Incredible storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat. We completely fell in love with the story right to the very end. Not to mention the graphics and the score that really go well together. It’s not too difficult and it really makes you think. The entire game is a succession of clever puzzles. You can get through the entire thing in a day or two. We think it’s really worth the $5. That’s was great!


We’ve played both parts, this is one of the best mobile games we’ve ever played. Difficult at times but very fun.


We want a sequel to this game so badly we are willing to pay you personally to make it and put it up on the App Store. Please feel free to reach out.


This is easily the best game we have ever played on iOS. The plot is so good and the ending was amazing.


This is seriously the best game we’ve ever played on the App Store. Story and atmosphere were perfect and was well worth the price of paying for the full game. We recommend paying for the full version of this game trust us you wont be disappointed. Have fun!
