The House

About this game

The House is an early example of a "virtual reality" experience, created using the Virtual Reality Studio software. While it doesn’t involve VR headsets or complex gameplay, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of 3D exploration and interactivity. Here’s a detailed look at what makes The House a unique and nostalgic piece of gaming history: Key Features: 3D-ish Polygon Graphics: The game features simple polygonal graphics, creating a rudimentary 3D environment that players can explore. While primitive by today’s standards, it was impressive for its time. Exploration-Based Gameplay: The primary focus of the game is exploration. Players can walk around a virtual house, examining rooms and interacting with certain objects. Interactivity: Some items in the house can be interacted with, such as opening doors, turning on lights, or examining objects. However, the interactions are limited and mostly for novelty. Virtual Reality Studio: The game was created using Virtual Reality Studio, a tool that allowed developers to create simple 3D environments and interactive experiences. This software was also used for other early "VR" games like The Menace of Dr. Spoil Sport. No Traditional Gameplay: There’s no story, objectives, or challenges in The House. It’s more of a tech demo or interactive experience than a traditional game. Wide Distribution on BBSes: The game was widely shared on Bulletin Board Systems (BBSes) in the early days of the internet, making it a nostalgic title for those who frequented such platforms. Gameplay: Objective: Explore the virtual house and interact with objects. Controls: Use the keyboard to move around the house, turning left and right to navigate the environment. Interact with objects by pressing a designated key when prompted. Environment: The house includes various rooms, such as a living room, kitchen, and bedroom, each with a few interactive elements.
