Monster House
The neighborhood is in danger as Old Man Nebbercracker's house has come to life and is threatening to eat anything that comes close. With Halloween approaching, three children - DJ, Jenny, and Chowder - are aware of the malevolent house and plan to stop it before it's too late. They must explore the house's interior, navigating through its various floors, including the basement, attic, furnace, and roof.
As they journey through the house, the player takes on the role of the three children, switching between them as needed. Each child has their own health meter and unique abilities, such as Jenny's ability to crawl through small spaces, DJ's ability to climb ladders, and Chowder's ability to move heavy objects. The children can collect items like candies and water droplets to restore health, use flashlights to navigate dark rooms, and camera flash cubes to stun enemies. They also have access to a Walkie-Talkie to communicate with their friend Skull, who provides directions on what to do next.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This side-scrolling adventure game follows three friends who are swallowed by a sentient, hostile house and must navigate its deadly interior to destroy it from within. Blending horror-comedy with platforming gameplay, players guide the trio through hazardous mazes while battling evil creatures protecting the building's heart. Using limited water guns and walkie-talkies, the protagonists must solve riddles and defeat the house to escape before they are consumed forever.
Story
The Mystery of the House
Twelve year-old D.J. Walters has been monitoring the unexplainable activities of the house across the street since he was a kid. He knows something just isn't right. Owned by the mysterious and reclusive Mr. Nebbercracker, the house has a way of making things disappear.
Seems anything that lands on the old man's lawn is considered as good as gone. Determined to find the secret to this ravenous piece of real estate, DJ and his friends Chowder and Jenny concoct a plan. They intend to battle the ominous 'Monster House, only to discover that people are vanishing too.
The Plan and The Capture
Halloween, with its hordes of 'trick-or-treaters, is quickly approaching. The three friends realize there is only one choice: to go into the house and destroy it once and for all!
But before the young heroes can take action, the front door bursts open. A huge entryway carpet turns into a giant tongue, which swallows them whole, pulling them into the belly of the beast!
The Battle Begins
Armed with only their water guns for protection and a walkie-talkie to communicate, the trio must face their fears and defeat the house. Following a series of riddles and tasks, our young heroes travel through mind-boggling mazes of pipes and plaster.
