Grandma, it's too dark outside, whatever we do? Look over to the right, it's the fireflies we use to use to light up our lamp post. I wonder if we catch enough of them, if we would be able to light up the house like we once did many years ago. I think I'm going to have to wander around a little ways to see if I can find anything else that may help us.
A House in California is a poetic point and click puzzle game about four characters: Lois, Beulah, Connie and Ann. Together the four individuals must discover new elements, meet new friends and collect new objects to help bring back memories of what is now the little house in California.
We first start off with our main character Lois, his goal is to find all the fireflies to light up the lamp post, we will have to explore some of his memories, make a few repairs here and there and finally collect all the fireflies. Once we collect enough we will be able to return back to our main screen and light up the lamp post.
Second we play as our character Beulah, his job is to search for singing birds, but it's a bit more challenging than that, it definitely could require a walkthrough in order to round them all up. Our character Beulah will have to read, write and do some cooking, you can of course find out more about each of the characters by clicking on them.
Third we play as Connie, she must gather all the colorful butterflies to make the house shine brightly. She will have to catch the butterflies in the right order, orange, green and blue. The butterflies make a peaceful addition to the house, now we have lit up the streets, added a nice harmony and some color to our peaceful residency.
Finally, grandma asks if everything can be put back to the way it was. Ann's job is to undo everything we just did, remember and forget everything, then when the night comes to an end we can enter the house and know that everything we did was nothing more than just our imagination.
