Indie developer Home Groan Games has officially launched its debut title, Shelter from the Storm, on Android devices via Google Play. The new mobile game drops players right into an atmospheric point-and-click puzzle adventure centered around a mysterious, deserted manor.
Quick Facts
- Game Title: Shelter from the Storm
- Developer: Home Groan Games
- Platform: Android (Google Play)
- Genre: Point-and-click puzzle adventure
Exploring the Abandoned Manor
The premise of Shelter from the Storm sets players out in the middle of a heavy downpour, soaking wet with only a single house in sight. After receiving no answer to an initial knock, curiosity takes over and the unlocked front door gives way into an estate that has sat empty for a long time.
From that point forward, the gameplay settles into classic point-and-click territory. Players search through dusty rooms, figure out interactive object combinations, and piece together the history of the house and the people who once lived inside it.
A Compact Mobile Horror Experience
By the developer's own description, Shelter from the Storm is designed as a short adventure. This concise scope aims to avoid the common mobile horror pitfall of overstaying its welcome through bloated backtracking, letting players experience the unsettling atmosphere before the novelty fades.
Shelter from the Storm is available now on Google Play, though players looking for Apple device options will have to wait, as no App Store release window has been confirmed.
