For Rent: Haunted House

It's an interactive novel where your choices control the story. 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?
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?
(This game used to be called "Eerie Estate Agent," before we changed the name.

Loved it!

One of the better Choice of Games! I really enjoyed my experiences with this house!

I've played all Choice of Games apps except one, and many that are on the website and not an app. I have to say, this one was an average one. It was not the best, yet not the worst. Maybe I think this because I lost, or maybe I just find Zombies, Super Heros, and Ship Captains a bit more exciting.
It's too well written and has too few choices

Yes, that's honestly what my complaint is. In this game, you play a snide and stressed out real estate agent. The first problem is that the thing is written so well that it can easily stress out the player, but what's worse is that the game already has your personality written to be a snide, dishonest, stressed out real estate agent who appears to only care about saving his spot at what he knows is a terrible job. Never is there an option presented to simply refuse to allow people into the house once you confirm that its haunted, and personally try to remove the spirits. Your only goal is to trick people into that house while getting money out of them. Perhaps I simply missed crucial choices, but this was my impression after a few play throughs.
Excellent writing!

Funny, full of twists, interesting, unique, snarky, and well written! Well done!!

This was pretty well written, but the idea is kinda flat. I also felt like mine was written for a female. I didnt care much for all the choices. I honestly wish this was just set up a ms a horror/slasher story. CoG make it happen :) something silent hill like.
Love it.

The story is calming and serene in my opinion. Light some candles, mix a drink, and cozy up on the couch status.
Decent

I love COG, so I bought this one as soon as it came out. It's good; a different approach really. But sort of like dry meat in an old sandwich.
