About House Rules

Players choose where to go and whom to speak with during morning, afternoon and evening periods. Spending time with different characters and deciding how to treat them influences the story's branches. The described cast includes seven love interests, and the official description identifies all characters as adults.

The English-language Ren'Py demo contains chapters one and two, with 80 CG illustrations and seven animations listed for this edition. The broader full-game description outlines 12 chapters, 84,000 words and nine endings; those totals describe the full-game scope rather than the demo.
