Evaluation

House of 1000 Doors: Family Secrets launched on September 5, 2019 as the first entry in a series of hidden object adventure games. The store description presents the game as a self-contained package with a defined feature set — 90 locations, 25 mini-games, 15 hidden object scenes, 13 CGI cutscenes, a bonus chapter, concept art, wallpapers, and a built-in walkthrough. This is characteristic of a finished, standalone product in the casual hidden object genre. A sequel, House of 1000 Doors: The Palm of Zoroaster, was released on October 24, 2019 as a separate game on Steam. No DLC has been listed for Family Secrets, no updates have been announced for it specifically, and the developer's news posts for this game's Steam community have not indicated any planned additions. The most recent developer post in this game's news feed (September 28, 2021) announced a different game entirely, A Tale for Anna, rather than any content for Family Secrets. There is no evidence of any post-launch content additions, roadmaps, or ongoing development for this title. The game shipped complete and has remained so.

About this game

Welcome to the first game in a stunning new saga! When the dead cannot find release, the House of 1000 Doors serves as a portal that allows the living to help them. But as the House appears at locations around the world, it doesn't let just anyone in. To step beyond its threshold, a person must be able to communicate with spirits.

The protagonist of this spectacular new series of hidden object adventure games is Kate Reed, a washed up writer of ghost stories who wonders if she'll ever experience success again. Guide Kate as she responds to an invitation to enter the House, meets the mysterious Lancaster family that resides within it, and solves four mind-bending mysteries that take her to worlds she's never imagined.
