For Rent: Haunted House
In For Rent: Haunted House, it’s your job to rent out a haunted house before your tyrannical boss has you fired.
Your choices determine how the story proceeds. For example, when your tenants, who haven’t slept in days due to bone-chilling whispers emanating from the walls, ask to break their lease, do you:
A) Let them transfer their lease to another property?
B) Allow them to break the lease, but keep their security deposit?
C) Insist on sticking to the terms of the lease?
D) Boldly investigate, like all the victims in bad horror films?
For Rent: Haunted House is a 56,000 word interactive fantasy novel by Gavin Inglis, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
How will you screw over your tenants? Will you ignore inconvenient supernatural phenomena, or use them to drum up publicity? How will you deal with ghost hunters, squatters, and celebrity tenants? Will you emerge as the top agent? Stage an office coup? Or will you become a permanent resident of 57 Crowther Terrace?

I quite enjoyed it! I've got only 1 ending so far but I'll definitely play more! I feel like I did my boy Russell dirty, so gotta try and save him next time!

Very charming and smirk-inducing. Combines the Jeeves-esque with the spooky, with engaging results.
The only weakness is a slightly slow start.

Good game. Has some great humor in it, and it's fun to play. It lets you make some pretty fun and unexpected decisions that impact the rest of the story. Recommended

Honestly a great story. I only went through it so quickly because I had already read it on my phone. I'd give it an 8/10.
