About Invitationem
A car breaks down on a rainy forest road, leaving its driver to walk toward the light of an old house. Invitationem is a short point-and-click horror adventure about entering that house and investigating the unsettling details hidden behind its comfortable appearance.
Explore the House
Click the house to enter, then use doorways and stairs to move between rooms. Inspect objects and read the character's observations. Pictures, empty frames, furniture and unusual items can reveal more about the building even when they are not the next object needed for a puzzle.
Pick up useful items and apply them to the scene where they fit. If a door or mechanism stops your progress, remember its location and return when you find a related object. The game rewards close inspection across several rooms rather than rushing through a single corridor.
Follow the Clues
The house changes as supernatural events unfold. After a striking encounter, look again at the objects and routes around you; a changed scene can provide the next interaction. A diary entry, for example, gives a colour sequence that can be compared with a later puzzle.
The ending displays how much of the house you investigated. If you want a more thorough visit, examine ordinary-looking furniture and decorations as well as obvious puzzle objects, and read the text that accompanies each discovery.
