Dad's Monster House is a hand-drawn puzzle game featuring horror and fantasy.
It tells the story of Carlos' journey after he receives a distress call from his father, pleading for him to return to his old home and rescue his dad. As he continues exploring the house, Carlos encounters many terrifying yet 'cute' monsters. As he solves the puzzles before him, he draws ever closer to the truth... Freud once said: "Love and work, work and love...that's all there is." But what of the pain, the struggles that arise when we're forced to choose between our ambitions and love? In dealing with such conundrums, we’ve all likely hurt those we hold dearest to us. For it's often in the darkness that we feel most safe. With Dad's Monster House, I wish to provide those kinds of heartrending memories a chance at redemption. I dedicate it to scientists, to my childhood dreams; to those I love, and to faded memories. I hope that within you'll find the greatest of answers, be they for your love, for science, or dreams. [Gameplay] A sudden call in the deep of night has you return to a house you haven't visited for many a year. You must unravel one puzzle after another: to from within scenes intertwined with memories find clues and get to the bottom of your father's secret. The choice of whether to redeem or ultimately end this sad story lies in your hands. [Features] Instead of going for bright and vivid colors, I have opted for a black-and-white art style. The fragmented narration, plentiful puzzles, and delicate sound designs create an immersive experience where you as the player get to truly feel the ups and downs of the protagonist's emotions. Continue to unravel the story as you collect more items...

loved it! great story
- Michelle Souly · v1.0.33
Loved the game, story was incredible. Had a couple of issues with interacting with objects which wouldn't work unless I was in the perfect spot, but otherwise really fun and immersive
- Natascha Damaso · v1.0.33
Ugghhh one of the best games I have played this year! This game has a unique art style, easy puzzles, and smooth gameplay!
- Aliya Navarro · v1.0.33
Love these games

Fun game so far! Would love an option for hints, sometimes I have to take a few days off to then approach with fresh eyes (this wasn't a bad thing tbh, though. Also I'm not sure if the drawing pad is part of a puzzle or if mine is just glitched out. It is red & white with some blocks, the X in the corner is visible but it's very weird Love the game, excited to try to play through a second/third time for the different endings & seeing how fast I can get though it
- Jayden Hutchison · v1.0.27
Different and intriguing story, yet, very much in the same vein as Isoland as far as gameplay. Some of the puzzles were pretty cryptic and I was left wondering what to do next on occasion, but still found the game enjoyable I wish there had been a more extensive cutscene at the end. Collecting the photo fragments after the main game was a nice epilogue.
- David Lazarus · v1.0.26
I love the game but.... my drawing board is useless, it's completely white except a big red question mark. both pages. Also I can't seem to see a hint button or a save button?
- bsofalvi · v1.0.26
Cute point-and-click style puzzle game

fantastic point and click with unique storyline and a good price for the length. Sated my point and click itch for a week. Wish there more like this!!!
- Iain Armstrong · v1.0.20
A really nice game with a very cool story. I especially love that there's secrets even after finishing the game. But I just wish you had a hint system. I needed to use a walkthrough 2 or 3 times because some of the puzzles are really difficult to figure out.
- Neža Vižintin · v1.0.20
good fun .
- mark kitchen · v1.0.20
loved it ..

Loved it.
- DINA A (DINASAUR)
Really loves this one as well. Creepy and adventurous in the same time. Really liked the humanity trait at the end with the album. I have already pre-registered for the second game. Can't wait to play it.
- Valentina
Interesting & fun game.
- Abc Xyz · v1.0.20
Loved it!. Was tricky at times.
- Ameya Munshi · v1.0.17
Phenomenal, the story is amazing and the puzzles are complex, but not impossible
- Remy Doney · v1.0.17
Good game
- varun dhingra · v1.0.17
Love this! Not easy, but so big and fun. Try to avoid the walkthrough, just keep going. Hints are everywhere.
- Pam Pollock · v1.0.13
This game is on par with the quality of isoland, kind of expected considering the developer. Which means it's great. I really don't have too many gripes about this game except the obscurity of some puzzle clues makes solving them less-than straightforward. For example the compass rose puzzle is inverted, im still trying to figure out how to open it despite knowing where the answer is.
- Cody Worden (Delucidate) · v1.0.13
Beautiful, well constructed puzzle game with memorable story and characters. I understand that they used "second person" movement and interaction to establish the player character and show his reactions. But I did not enjoy how much slower and more awkward the gameplay was as a result. Some objects seemed very difficult for my character to pick up. I still highly recommend this game and the Isoland games by the same creator. Well worth my money. Thank you!
- condux penultimate · v1.0.13
Fantastic!!
- Denis Paloš · v1.0.13
There are puzzles in this game that don't seem to have any answer other than guessing. I finally had to consult a walk through and I still don't know how they came up with some of these solution to the puzzles. Other reviews have said the same thing. Games that do this kind of thing make it very frustrating, hence my score for this game. Other than that the artwork and stuff is nice.
- Mike Cheel · v1.0.13
Great game, well worth every cent for sure
- Cat Collins · v1.0.13
Such a great game. Cotton Game always provides such a great game experience, lots of puzzles, achievements, and all around a great story. Will definitely be checking out more of there games 😊
- Kenzie · v1.0.13
What a wonderful game. really loved every minute of it. except the part where I've figured something out before it hint shows up.
- S. · v1.0.13
**Edit: Thanks! I tried the day after your reply, and it worked. Great game!** Hey! I don't want to give a rating (I'm sure the game is great, your company's stuff always is), I just want to let you know that I paid for the app and then tried to download it today, and after completing the loading bar it said that it failed to install. So I opted for a refund. I'm trying to use a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G to play it, I've got dozens of gigabytes of free storage. Not sure what might be going wrong?
- Nick Chesterton · v1.0.13
Paid for this last year but it won't install on my Samsung A71 so disappointed. It's on my S9 plus and tablet but refuses to install on the A71
- Gabriella D'angelino · v1.0.12
Greatest game! Bit challenging, but still more than possible to complete without any hints. Small bug with the achievements - I have created an untidot even before finding a way to the room with small monsters and creo-chamber, and saved papa almost right after the timer started, papa is sleeping on the sofa, but my achievements say that I failed to save papa and same for antidot achievement... Not sure why , but this is definitely incorrect
- Pavel Kouzmitcheu · v1.0.12
It might be a fun game, but it doesn't compatible with Android 12. Sadly, I have to request for refund after purchasing
- Xiaobin Yu (余骁彬)
Couldn't install on my Google Pixel.
- Sarah Layman
More games like these please. It's really really good and i hope this company produces more games like this. Also.. maybe make free games
- Kiana Wales · v1.0.12
There are no hints even in the first level, and the light puzzle is nearly impossible to get past without a skip button. I'd like my money refunded asap. Thank you. Other than that, the game looked like it has potential to be a favorite.
- Drumming Boys
Couldn't install on Pixel 4a running Android 12 - would finish downloading but wouldn't finish installing. Installed successfully on a Nexus 6 running LineageOS and on a Pixel 2 running Android 11, seems like this is a compatibility issue with Android 12?
- Tad Stauffer · v1.0.12
Such a great point and click puzzler with a long play time! I play these type games exclusively and this one is really good. Took up my entire day and it was worth it!
- Jeannie Tracy · v1.0.12
Its a nice game. Good graphics. Definitely needs a tips section and a better journal system. Would recommend though.
- Alex Russell · v1.0.12
If you liked isoland & Mr pumpkin you will enjoy this one too :)
- laura R.
Why cant I download this? I want to, but it starts and stops the install every time? And, yes, I've done all troubleshooting.
- Brandy Elizabeth
Nextttttt plz
- Julie Bailey
Awesome game. Wish they'd make more like this. I also wish they'd put Mr. pumpkins adventure in the play store! Only complaint I have about this game is, no hints. I had to watch part of the walkthrough once or twice.
- Rey Liz · v1.0.11
:-D I got the "Found Ya!" achievement!!
- Xu Huang · v1.0.10
One of their weakest games. It was simple to figure out some of the puzzles, but others were almost impossible without searching the answer (specifically the diamond puzzle). The controls were irritating at times too. I made it to the end but finally gave up when I was literally just pressing stuff on the screen to see if there were any objects I missed. Kind of disappointed, most of their games are enjoyable
- Cyn J
there were problems with the update. so I deleted the app. now I can't install app after latest update( Android 12.
- Dmytro Sholopov
Brilliant as ever - puzzles are so inventive and storyline and graphics very engaging - more please SOON!
- Mrs Mop · v1.0.6
Great game by great developers. More, please!
- Anne Continelli
Fantastic

Dad's Monster House is the best CottonGame so far. Puzzles like the "hat trick" are unique and ingenious. The gamer feels pure enjoyment when discovering the solutions.
- Sami Serola · v1.0.6
Another great game from Cotton! Only complaint is the lagging controls, gets frustrating tapping on the screen so much.
- Kevin B · v1.0.6
Pretty awesome game🕸️❤️
