This Wretched House was an interesting take on Wretched & Alone. There's no win or lose condition through the cards like other games, just whether you survive before the tower falls. It does a great job of setting the stage and creating a sense of dread and isolation. I won't go into the specifics of my playthough but I'll say if the summary provide interest you I can assure you the game delivers.
On a side note, there's an appendix presenting an alternative to using a Jenga tower which is well researched and thoughtfully explained. In the half dozen or so other Wretched & Alone games I've played this is the first one to provide an alternative within the text instead of a link to a "tumbling block tower" simulator on the internet. I think it's a nice touch, especially if you printed out the pdf or aren't playing through an internent connected device.
