Jo's House
A downloadable game for Windows
About: Jo's house is a maze building game where you must rearrange the furniture of the HQ Residential House to create the longest path from Jo's bed to one of the exits (front door, back door or garage). At night Jo will start rolling around the house to either attack you, eat a pie or exit the house. Your goal is to survive 3 nights doing the following 2 things: #1: Don't get hit by Jo. #2: Don't let Jo leave the house.
Controls:
First person WASD with space to jump and Shift to run.
Mouse to look around.
E: to interact with things.
F: Flashlight.
Q: to drop pies (to lure Jo).
M: to bring up the map (Drag and Drop to move furniture on map).
Potential Issues: There is a possible lag issue when other applications are running while Jo’s house is playing. This issue will cause the talking text to be displayed slower and may cause Jo to teleport upstairs to the baby’s room at the start of the game (instead of walking to the kitchen). Otherwise the game should still be functional.

(2) snixpe - YouTube
Saw uncle jobel play this game and had a lot of fun watching it really want a sequel of the game! :)
Thanks! Glad you liked the gameplay and thanks for the feedback!!
Played this a while back with a friend and had a total blast, somehow made it through all three nights with some wonky strategies.
Crossing my fingers for Jo's House 2 (no pressure though haha)!
Thank you so much for playing Jo's House! Good job on making it through all three nights! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! As for a sequel... Who knows what the future could bring... ;)
I want fucking Jo 2 you son of a bitch I want Jo so bad because he Jo man it's unfair, we get Half life 1 and 2, Portal 1 and 2, make it happen, make Jo House 2 Mama Jo Papa Jo, ULTIMATE JO
Jo House 2? Mama Jo?? Papa Jo?!, ULTIMATE JO??!! Whoa, those sound like some pretty interesting ideas… interesting indeed.
YES MAKE IT HAPPEN I ACTUALLY ENJOYED JO HOUSE AND IT WAS ACTUALLY CHALLENGING TOO
Interesting idea! I liked it.
Thanks!
last time when i tried to play it, it lagged so much, so after a year or some i will try again
Sorry to hear that :(
This is weird but it's a masterpiece
is this supposed to be a comedy horror?
edit: i hope it is
Yes, we definitely intended to pack some humor in there… However, when Jo starts rollin’ and the panic sets in… nobody is laughing.
yeah well, the panic does set in, but look at people playing night 1 for the first time not knowing how much they should be panicking rather than laughing!
There is a streamer Vargskelethor that want you to make Jo’s House 2 (And want to fund it). Hope you could contact him and make a sequel.
I laughed my ass of when he played this!
This is truly a great video!! Depicts the struggle of someone who, against all odds, decides to help Jo out against his own will and the will of his audience. Starts out rough, but it really picks up after the initial rage quit!! Definitely nothing in here about Vargskelethor wanting to fund Jo’s House 2 LOL. Thanks for putting this video in the comments though, it is a true masterpiece!!
He says it at 31:00 he want to fund jo’s house 2. There was also another video i dont know which one.
Oh wow… you weren’t kidding lol. Nice to see that Jo made such an impression on him!! This was very entertaining to watch!!! So… Jo’s House 2 you say…
You should join his Twitch stream some time and talk with him about it or dm him on twitter!
masterpiece.
Thanks!!
hi, big thx for the nice game. greetings from rosti 😘
Thanks for playing and leaving your video in the comments!! To move the furniture you have to do it on the 2D map (drag and drop the furniture while the map is opened).
That’s great! Gotta watch that front door though, Jo is a slippery one. Thanks for playing!!

Gracias por este increíble video.
I have never seen Jo chase someone around like he chased you at the end of this video. This was very entertaining to watch!!
Oi roaddust eu queria que você pode se fazer a versão mobile do Joe house para android e ios eu adoro Joe house sou muito fã você poderia fazer uma versão para celular obrigado
It's okay Jo, I was a sleepwalker too. Not nearly as rotund or destructive but...where was I going with this?
Awesome video!! This was very entertaining to watch! Good job and thanks for playing!!
You made this game look easy! Very nice strategy guide, Good job!!
Great gameplay!! You had a really nice setup / strategy going. Thanks for playing!!
I really like the concept behind this game! maybe needs a bit more polish though. sometimes jo would pass through furniture that i couldn't get through.
Overall, this is a very fun and intense game, though being rough around the edges here and there. Great job regardless!
PS: We wouldn't mind if you stuck around, our channel could use more audience members
PSS: I apologize in advance for being an idiot and thinking it was a linear path creator rather than a maze builder
Great video!! I love the intro you created and how you blended the instructions with the game play. This was very entertaining to watch!! I will definitely stick around to check out your other videos. Thanks for playing our game!!
Enjoyed myself a little too much lol!
That was hilarious! Great job on the first night!! Thanks for playing and sharing this gameplay!!
Awesome video! You had a really good strategy going. Thanks for playing our game!!
his butt stank
This game made me rethink my entire existence... *RAGE* but in all seriousness this game was genuinely fun and I could see myself playing it off camera. I can't say that about a lot of the indie games , so keep up the good work!
Great video!! That was some pretty intense gameplay! You definitely don’t want your heart to stop… next time you play, make sure you have a defibrillator ready just in case. Thanks for playing!!
let me know when you dropping new levels
We are thinking about making another game pretty soon for the 7 day roguelike game jam. We will get back to you!!
wooooooo!!!!
This game was pretty good! Actually had to use my brain keep up the good work!
Great video and well done! Just be careful because as you may have noticed, Jo can turn around really fast!! Thanks for playing!
Try as I might, there is no containing the thiccness of Jo
That was a fun video to watch! I liked your advice at the end on how to keep Jo from coming over to your house. Thanks for playing!!
Thanks for the fun!
Thanks for playing!! You had a pretty good strategy going, good job making it through the first night!
I decided I should give it another try! felt that I needed to complete this game! so I did! AWESOME developers! what a great game to have fun with and rage yourself with!
Wow, you came back with a vengeance!! You can hear the keyboard going, your APM is through the roof. That was some amazing gameplay!! Good job on finishing the game!
how do i move baricades
From the footage I’ve seen, that may be the hardest thing to figure out in Jo’s house! You must go on the 2D Map by pressing ‘M’ and then move it by left clicking the mouse and drag it while on the 2D map.
This game really uses your brain meat. Watch tackle this brain teaser
Great video!! Good job making it as far as you did! You had some good lyrics going too for Jo’s house! Thanks for playing!!
Aside from being really funny, the game uses a really interesting mechanic to be really challenging.
Here is my take!
love the game btw.
Great video! Thanks for playing our game!! You had a pretty good maze going. Good Job!
Unfortunately Jo bested me because I am terrible at your game haha. But man I had such a good time playing what I did!
Great video and thanks for playing!! I noticed you mentioned John Wolfe as soon as you saw the house… this game is actually part of a game jam by John Wolfe with the house itself being the focus of this game jam.
It's funny because I just got done watching John's video with Jo's House in it regarding this game jam and I saw your comment. Congrats on getting most popular submission!
