Play Tommy's Manor Online

Game Overview

Tommy's Manor is one of those weird little MS-DOS games that somehow sticks with you. You start off in this massive, slightly creepy house—no tutorial, no explanation, just you and a bunch of strange rooms to poke around in. At first it feels like a point-and-click adventure, but then you realize half the puzzles make zero sense unless you start paying attention to tiny details, like the way a painting's frame is chipped or the odd rhythm of a grandfather clock.

The whole thing has this eerie-but-cozy vibe, like exploring your weird uncle's attic as a kid. Some of the solutions had me scratching my head for days (that damn grandfather clock...), but when things finally click, it's ridiculously satisfying. Definitely not for people who need hand-holding, but if you miss the days when games didn't care about being "user-friendly," this is a perfect nostalgia hit.

Just don't blame me when you start hearing creaky floorboards in your sleep.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
