i like the game but why is Alesa kinda 😼 . . . *wink wink nudge nudge*

(1 edit)

I usually don't post a gameplay until I finished completely, but I had such a great time and can't wait to finish it(So maybe back with part 2 lol) but I discovered there is a second and third part which I cannot wait to play already.

UPDATE: I completed it and it was amazing lol. Even though I fumbled my ending lmao. I'm now even more pumped for part 2. 

(1 edit) (+1)

Ohh thank you so much! I really enjoyed the gameplay and your commentary, as well as the voices you gave the characters! : D
Actually, there's even a fourth game that was just released last week! So if you decide to stick around for the Alesa journey, then get ready, because there's a lot of insanity ahead!
Thanks again for playing! : D

OOH IM SO EXCITED. THANK YOU LOL I'm trying to get into my voice acting bag. 

 played this on my channel. Very interesting game. Very spooky also. One of the endings which I won't spoil here is very interesting. Caught me off guard because how it random it was. Love it tho

Awesome gameplay! : D Thank you so much for playing and for your words! I'm glad you liked it!
Yeah that ending is pretty random hahaha, but it definitely works and nobody expects it!

This was definitely on the good side of pixel games and if your of age i suggest trying it out   hope you make more games like this

(+3)(-2)

its good but WHYS THERE JIGGLE PHYSICS THAT WASNT NECESSARY

(+3)(-1)

false.it was completely necessary. A.V. Dossow does the Lord's work.

(+1)

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN??

This game is inspiring! Would you be interested in answering a few questions about the process of making these games? It would help a lot in a school project I am working on. Ty :)

yeah sure! no problem

Can someone help me with the puzzle 'Greet the doll, stop at the second chair' one?

im trying too, stuck

(-1)

I'd suggest to take a look at a walkthrough video. Here's one and the solution is at the 43:20 timestamp

(+1)

Me he sumergido mucho en su atmósfera desde el principio. El ambiente oscuro y tenso hace que la intriga vaya a más. Engancha bastante, estoy deseando empezar la segunda parte. 

Genial! Muchas gracias por jugar!

lamp

where do you kill mr. bob

?

nvm i figured it out

(-1)

Wow this game certainly made me scream!! 😭😭 I couldnt finish the game because i accidently pressed "new file" during my playthrough, which erased all of my save files unfortuanely. BUT Nonetheless, I really enjoyed it!!

Heres my recording of the game!! I did my best to voice act the characters, The Mother is certainly my fav character 🥺

Thank you so much for playing! You did a great job with the voices! : D

(1 edit) (+1)(-1)

Here's my gameplay of the game! THIS GAME GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK. I kept getting jump scared haha. I really enjoyed this!

Hahahaha I'm glad it managed to scare you! Awesome playthrough, thank you for playing! : D

(+1)

Great game! Plot could be a movie. Very polished as well. 

(+1)

Thank you so much! This was inspired by 80's horror B-films, so I'm gladyou think this could be a movie!

(+1)

Can we download this for android? I really want to play this game

(+1)

You can play it in your browser (phone). I'm afraid I have no idea of how to export to android

An interesting game, I enjoyed it. There were a couple of places where the text was in Turkish when playing in English though.

Yeah, I messed up when I added the Turkish translation hahaha
I still need to fix that and update the game

(+6)

Omg yay! I can't believe I finally got to be a lamp. Best game ever

shaking rn HELPO

\

(+1)

?

(+1)

SORRY IF THAT SEEMED RUDE! I was saying i was shaking cus the gam is like SO GOOD AND HORROYFING! (excusemy spelling english isn't my first langusage.)

(+1)

ohhh it's okay!
Thank you! I'm glad you find it horrifying! : D

(+1)

why cant i pick up a candle after i get the dress from greta?

(1 edit) (+1)

The candles in the room across Greta's room are not holy candles and cannot be picked up. There's only one holy candle in the game and oyu need to solve a puzzle to get it

(+1)

ok thank you, btw, i love this game so much!! i cant wait to play 2 and 3!!

(+1)

Me talking about the alesa sussy parts.....

(+1)

Note: I watched AlphaBetaGamer's video on the game, and so I can't speak to how it feels from a gameplay perspective.

Very, very charming little game! I'm a big fan of the art style too. My only critiques would be

- The best ending feels a bit... flat. It feels like you enter that confrontation, and then we're kinda rushed to the end. 

- I'm a bit wary of Greta's "feels like there's another inside me" deal, just because of how demonized DID is. Unless I'm misunderstanding and this isn't meant to be relating to DID, and is more about her having unstable moods (understandable in a Monster Family).

I know that the sexualization of Alesa is a bit hit or miss for people. Personally, I don't mind it. As you've said it's a homage to horror movies which quite often use this (whether it be because sex sells, the fear of being preyed on in our most vulnerable states, etc), and I feel it adds a cheesy feeling to the game (not a bad thing. Silliness and cheese can be wonderful).

Lovely game. I hope your future works go well, and more importantly, I hope you'll recover well.

(+2)

Thank you so much for your words and your feedback! : D
The final confrontation was definitely rushed, as I wanted to submit the game soon and get over with it, but I think I fixed that mistake in the sequel, where the final confrontation has a plethora of outcomes and choices (and feels more epic)

I'll have to check out the sequel - I'm excited to see how you've improved!

(+1)

Thanks! I personally think the sequel is superior in pretty much every aspect, except maybe for the pure horror factor, since the sequel has a more comedic approach

(+2)

i tought you would make Greta and Alesa girlfriends :(

Play the sequel

Hey I'm a YouTuber and just huge fan of your house for alesa series, do you ever think of making it a 3d horror game?

(+1)

I've thought about it, but I wouldn't know what engine should I use and I'd have to learn from zero. But maybe one day I'll try! At the moment, I like making 2d games

(+1)

i think i found a bug/glitch or whatever


is there a way to use the chainsaw?

i pulled the lever and the mom said found you and then she killed me :(

Yes, you have to run from her as quick as you can

No, it's just a reference to one of my favorite horror games

Deleted post

the one about a very MAD, psychopathic, chainsaw wielding FATHER

Deleted post

Hahahaha, yeah, tends to happen with Rpg Maker while setting up the tilesets

(+3)

anybody ever notice how much cake alesa got??

Cake? I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean friend

(+1)

booty

(2 edits) (+3)

You think so? Mmm...I don't know...
She looks flat to me

(+1)(-1)

any alesa *cough* rule34

it said someone was coming and then i died

(+1)

Yes, you have to hide

i think i found a glitch

where am i supposed to hide im confused

(+2)

Fantastic game!!! Very spooky got pretty much all the endings except F since I didn't keep my tongue:( what was the difference if you did manage to keep it?

Thank you! : )
If you keep your tongue, Alesa has some different lines of dialog (e. g., when confronting Mr. Bob at the end), but other than that, there's not much of a difference. Canon ending is Alesa keeping her tongue though

(+1)

wow cool

(+1)

This was so cool! I loved the different endings AND key choices. The villain (and everybody lol) was so messed up and freaky! Really enjoyed this AND HELLA DISTURBED😂 ! The puzzle with the weather tiles was so cool XD and the music so creepy and catchy. Can't wait to play A House for Alesa 2 now!! Alesa been through a lot lol 

Thank you so much! : D Be warned though: while this was supposed to be pure horror, A House for Alesa 2 is more of a dark comedy with even more bizarre situations and excess of weirdness hahahah

(+1)

Hello Alex,

Sorry for bothering but can you please check your email.

(1 edit) (+1)

Done! You guys are amazing! Amazing work! I'll let you know when I update the game with your translation

(+1)

Why can't the game. its said that the file was damage and when i tried to play it here it said failed to initialize graphic

Are you playing the browser version? If that's the case and there's a problem with your internet connection, you might get errors

(1 edit) (+1)

When i clicked the file it said that the file was from an unknown format or damage

I've tested the files and they work fine for me. It might be an issue related to your computer or your internet connection. Also, if you have windows, make sure you didn't download the Mac version

ok thanks

I was going to play a House for Alesa 2, but thought I should play this first. I'm glad I did! How else could I have achieved such a "bright" ending! Heheh. Onto number 2 now, this was great, thanks for sharing!

Thank you! :D Be warned that the second one is waaaay less serious hahahaha, but in terms of graphics, story and gameplay, I believe its a vast improvement over the first one

(+1)

OMG what an awsome game! We've really enjoy playing it! The characters are great! So scary! An amazing story! Take a look at our gameplay edit.

Wooow thank you so much! :D I've finished watching both your gameplays and they were amazing! You're a great duo! It's really fun to watch you! 

A House for Alesa 3 is currently in the works hahaha

Thank you so much for watching it! ♥ 

That's great, we'll be wating a House for Alesa 3 :D Keep us posted!

(+1)

I literally made this account to ask if Mr. Bob is lookin’ for another partner if he somehow comes back for the third game.... because listen hear me out-

(1 edit) (+1)

If there's a 3rd game and Mr. Bob comes back, he'll probably have a new wife. And I don't think the mother would be happy to know that Mr. Bob wanted to marry Alesa (or maybe he made up that so Alesa wouldn't hurt him)

(+2)

HI, will there be a House for alesa 3 ?? i loved this game and i have watched kubzscouts on youtube play it and i thought it is a very unique game. I like how theres also some funny humor added in the game. keep up the good work !

(1 edit) (+1)

Thank you so much! : D

I do have plans for A House for Alesa 3, but I'm not sure when.I would like to make the 3rd game within this year, although at the moment I need to take a rest from the series, since I worked too fast on the first two games and it was exhausting.
There will also be games within the Alesa universe (I plan to release a spin off about a relative of Alesa, and a first person survival game featuring all the characters)

partial nudity? already a great game

Hahahaha, some people were really offended by it

why would people be offended by that? 

(1 edit) (+1)

I guess pixel bodies can be offensive for some people

(-2)

theyre weird they should be thankful

(+2)

Nah, it's okay. I respect their opinion. I understand these games can be offensive to some people and they probably think ill of me, but all they have to do is ignore the Alesa games and go play something else

The garden puzzle isn't working even tho I'm sure I've done it right?

It's working, it's just that it's a big confusing hahaha. I'd suggest to watch a playthrough to see how it's solved, as there are certain specific steps you have to take (and some tiles you need to avoid)

(+1)

BRO I THOUGHT GRETA AND I WERE HOMIES BUT THEN SHE KILLED ME

(+2)

SHE DID IT AGAIN

Everything's explained (and fixed) in the sequel!

(+1)

Hello! I played A House for Alesa 2, cuz I wanted to be one of the first people to record it and I didn't have time to record part 1 although I played it already off camera. I'm enjoying the game so far it's super fun and I'm excited about the more choices and omance part. I already tied to have romance with the police officer, but it didn't go well lol. This game is so amazing, one of the best horror games i've ever played! You did a great job especialy with animations and sound track.<3
(-1)

I watched this vtuber stream playing your game here, it's the second game she plays in the stream:

I really enjoyed the art style and the story went place. Had a problem with the garden/maze puzzle where it didn't activate it for some reason. I cannot get over the fact that there was jiggle physics XD.

(+1)

The jiggle physics are absolutely necessary! They are the soul of the series! And 99% of the budget was spent on that

(+2)

Awesome game, but it would be helpful to have a guide!
