About

My Sweet! Housemate is a single player survival role playing game with horror, romance, comedy and anime themes. It was developed by ghost-realms and was released on August 27, 2024. It received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players.

My Sweet Housemate is an interactive visual novel style game that puts you into the shoes of a homeless adult struggling to find affordable housing in America. You're hit with a stroke of good - or maybe bad - luck when you finally find a totally not suspicious rental listing for a room in an apartment. The only catch is that your new landlord, Seung-min, seems to have something off about him.

Charming and well-drawn art style with cute, humorous character designs and appealing UI.
Engaging and funny writing full of dark humor, clever dialogue, and memorable characters, especially the charismatic cannibal Seung-min.
Multiple endings with varied tones (romantic, comedic, horror) that encourage replayability and provide satisfying narrative variety.

Very short gameplay length, with some players wishing for a longer, more fleshed-out story and deeper character development.
The plot and character motivations can feel somewhat underdeveloped or unfinished, leaving some story elements unexplained or abrupt.
Mini-games, while charming, can become repetitive and occasionally hinder replaying for all endings; also some technical UX quirks like no visible skip button.
