Your sister has disappeared into the House of the Lost, and only you can save her. Grab your slingshot and step inside, you're in for the fight of your life. House of the Lost is a top-down action roguelike dungeon crawler built for players who grew up clearing rooms, dodging traps, and learning from every death. Each run is a new house, a new build, and a new chance to get a little further before the House gets you. Free to try, and only one purchase to own. Play the first two levels and take down the first boss without spending a cent; then a single unlock opens the rest of the House. No ads, no gacha, no energy timers. Ever. RANDOM LEVELS No two runs are the same. Layouts, enemies, and challenges reshuffle every time you play, and the House tests you at every turn. WEAPON CRAFTING Survival takes firepower. Combine the weapons and items you find to craft crazy new tools of destruction, and discover combinations that turn a doomed run into a legendary one. EPIC BOSS BATTLES The zombies and monsters that haunt these halls are deadly enough, but nothing can prepare you for what's waiting at the end of each floor. FOUR ENVIRONMENTS Four distinct environments hide within the House, each with its own enemies, its own challenges, and its own boss to face. SECRETS GALORE Walk through walls, track down clues, and unlock the secrets of the House. It may be your only chance at survival. PLAY OFFLINE No connection required. The House is always open, on a plane, on the train, or in the dark. LEADERBOARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS Race the clock and chase high scores, or hunt down every achievement the House has to offer. ONE PRICE, THE WHOLE HOUSE The free download includes the first two levels and the first boss, playable as many times as you like. One purchase unlocks everything else; every floor, every weapon, every secret. No subscriptions, no ads, no in-app currency.

Needs serious difficulty balances. ### 5/5 — Binding of Isaac *2015-02-08* This game is pretty much a rip off of the binding of Isaac. That is a good thing!! Though it doesn't have as much content, it have some neat little features that make it nice. It also has its own lore. A few bugs and weirdness her and there(you can skateboard through walls). I like it. ### 4/5 — Worth a try *2014-12-07* Its missing some stuff from the binding of isaac and the graphics/controls are really throwing me off. The feel is alright, if youre looking for a BOI port this one is worth a shot ### 5/5 — Lost House *2014-08-22* Sick game! The closest game to The Binding of Isaac, but totally kid friendly. This game has a big learning curve but once you get the hang of it you will have lots of fun clearing rooms and making different weapons. One of the best things about this game, is you only have one life. When you die.... You die ### 1/5 — Terrible *2014-06-29* This game stole every concept from the binding off Isaac from the hidden rooms to the mobs. The binding of Isaac was an original idea that could not easily be topped by a game with the same concepts. The producer of this game is self promoting on Isaac Forums, and as an Isaac fan I am offended. The art it terrible and the game is very glitchy. I have found tons of exploits and the game is far to easy. If it ain't broke, don't fix it... Isaac is NOT broken! ### 3/5 — Meh. *2014-06-10* The game itself is not as good as I've hoped it would be. The story line is plain too. The thing I liked most about it was the gameplay and the features, quite similar to Binding of Isaac. ### 3/5 — How does one craft? *2013-11-02* Decent game, but how do I craft? :/ ### 2/5 — Controls *2013-10-17* This would be a good game if it wasn't so blocky and it's also to similar all being the exact same rooms after you die, which happens a lot because of how small and unresponsive the controls are making it also impossible to hit enemies because of how difficult is to hit the right direction but I'd gladly give 5 stars if the controls got fixed ### 3/5 — Good but needs directional shooting *2013-07-27* Directional shooting added! Early enemies now not as hard, I like it. But it still silently crashes at the end of level one. And why can't I hold down the shooting buttons instead of getting a thumb cramp? Great job guys; you're getting there! Old review: Guys, it's clear you've spent lots of time on this game. I WANT TO LOVE IT. But it needs directional shooting. Not a button, a d-pad. That way I can move up while I shoot down. I want to like the game. I want to play it. But I won't. Not until this is fixed. Fix it, and maybe you'll even get my money. ### 2/5 — this game is crap *2013-07-08* never mind its an obvious ripoff of binding of isaac without the twisted creepiness that made that game so endearing. i actually think its a good try which is why it gets 2 stars but the controls are HORRIBLE! its impossible to shoot and dodge with sticky unresponsive controls. the regular shooting works but the directional movements are so slow and the fact you have to stop and point your character towards the enemy...you can't strafe or move backwards and shoot. if i turn d-pad shooting on, the buttons are so tiny, half the time i shoot the wrong way another quarter of the time it doesn't shoot at all. doesn't apple have any quality control?! how do these crappy games keep getting into the app store? ## Frequently asked questions about House of the Lost ### What is House of the Lost: Revived?
