Clown In a House offers a mysterious home to explore as you help the clown find the meaning of its own existence.
This clown finds itself in an odd home. It’s the kind of place where every door and item seems to hide some cryptic puzzle you need to solve to move forward. At least the items all have some clever descriptions as you try to figure out what to do. Still, you have deeper questions than which door this or that key will open. You’re a clown who’s trying to figure out why you exist, and what your existence even means. With as many endings as this game has (over twenty unique conclusions), there are a lot of potential answers to find in your explorations.
While figuring out why the clown exists, you may learn a bit about the creative process and the connections you can form with the things you make. The work, which I initially thought was a horror title (scary clowns and all that) is more interested in getting the player to reflect on their lives and the times they’ve birthed something from their imaginations. It delves into the many challenging feelings that can come up as an artist in your work, and can be hit pretty hard in places. And there are SOME creepy parts, though, so you’re not completely off the hook for clown horror.
Clown In a House is a thoughtful look at our connections with the things we create, and may resonate with you and your own creations that languish somewhere, forgotten or out there lost, somewhere.
Clown In a House is available now on Steam.
