About Penthouse
Penthouse is a Rogue-like horror game where you stumble into a haunted Penthouse in order to pay rent for your boat. Four scavengers enter this Penthouse to pay rent, but what begins as a simple job quickly becomes something far more dangerous. You start to realize that the Penthouse is part of something bigger. Each day you uncover more of what happened. Rent becomes a mere fraction of your concerns. Can you uncover the mystery? Taking place on a planet deep in space where paranormal wormholes drop ghostly monsters onto the planet, can you survive and uncover the mysteries of Bloodthirsty John IV?
Collect Evidence inside the Penthouse, return to the boat and convert your evidence points to money. Make sure not to lose power inside the boat! If you do not have $20 by a new day, you lose and must start a new run. Be careful when buying items to make sure you have $20 for a new day. Gather up your money to buy essential items to solve the mystery.
