Dialogue
Dolly
  • Default – Will you hold me?
  • Tabby's Bedroom – We've been here before, haven't we?
  • Marty – So, you need that disgusting snail's help? Pathetic.
  • "Toilet" – Perhaps there are worse things than death in this house.
  • Post-Memories – How's the arm?
  • Hallway – The ticking clock is constant reminder of mortality.
  • Bathroom – She wants to speak with you. Flush once, and meet her.

  • Storage – I quite like rats.
  • Master Bedroom – It smells like death in here... I like it.
  • Toby – Poor boy. He never should have come here.
  • Post first ending acquired – So you think you've beaten it? Well I'm afraid you're terribly wrong... There's no way to stop it. [+Marty No matter hard you and that snail try...] It never ends.
  • Post-Second – You must think you're so clever, don't you? [game crashed]
  • Post-Third – How cute... You really think you can get through this? I don't even care anymore. I was trying to help you. But go ahead... waste your time all you want. [+Marty I bet you couldn't even do it without that snail anyways.]
  • Post-Fourth – So, you're still at it, huh? Didn't you hear what I said? Just give up, won't you? This is your reality now. There's no way out... stop trying. Just accept your fate, won't you? [+Marty You think that snail cares about you? Pathetic.] Stop resisting destiny. I won't tell you again... IT. NEVER. ENDS.
  • Post-"Memories" – ... You're a fool. A FOOL. A dumb, insignificant-- Hey, what are you doing? Wait, stop. There's no hard feelings, right? Go ahead and leave, I won't get in your way... Ok, ok. I lied. It-it does end! P-please...
Grandfather(?)
  • Come here, Tabby. You musn't leave. We've been having so much fun... You... need... me...
Grandma
  • First summoning – What's this? Oh, Melody! My sweet granddaughter. You remembered the song! You had an ear for music, unlike your older sister [Tabitha]. You seem to be more awake than usual... As you can see, the house has been falling apart. [Old Like its core is rotting away... It's gotten so dark and cold.] Like time has finally caught up with it. And it's so dark and cold... Here, Melody, I want you to have this. It should help light your way around this old house. I'll be around if you ever need to chat, okay?
  • Second – Oh, Melody! So nice to see you again. You've gotten so good at playing out song! But, you don't have to play it every time you want to see me. You can find me in the west wing of the house. We start to materialize as the night grows darker... Stay safe, sweetie.
  • Later, on the toilet/crate – Here you go, Melody.
  • After Candle get – I'm sorry about your parents, dear. The house has been devouring them for so long... James always was a stubborn boy, though. I'm sure a piece of him is still in there.
  • Box – Have you met that bald fella with the faces? He comes back every day to take a little piece of your spirit. He'll keep coming until you're barely even in there. / Hi sweetie. How are you feeling tonight? I've always loved this old house. Your grandfather never liked this place though. I think spending eternity here made him a little stir-crazy. Kept trying to move things in the material plane. Said something about taking control of the life he never had[.] He stormed off a few years ago. Haven't seen him since.
  • Reading – What is it, dear? / Hey, sweetie. / Let's talk more later, I'm at a dramatic part.
  • Post-Staffer – Melody, sweet girl, you did it! I'm not sure what you did, but it sure was something! This house doesn't feel so dark anymore... Bye, sweetie.
James
  • Default – Daddy's home.
  • "Bloodshed" – Tabby. I'm home... You've been a very good girl.
  • "The Song" – Daddy's... home...
  • Ghost – We really showed him who's boss around here, huh? Looks like you're gonna be headed out now, eh? Look, I'm... sorry about the boy[Toby]. Something took over me... Try to forgive your old man, okay? Bye, kidd-o.
Lisa
  • Default – Is your sister still asleep? She hasn't been feeling well. / Maybe we can have frog legs for dinner. / What do you say about sleeping at a friend's house tonight? / How does a turkey sandwich sound?
  • Milk – Put that back in the fridge when you're done with it. | Don't drink straight from the jug, that's gross!
  • Sandwich-Making – Hang tight, dear, I'm making sandwiches. / R-relax, Tabby, I'm going as fast as I can. / Please calm down, Tabby, I know you're hungry... / I-it's almost sandwich time.
  • Bowling Ball – Careful with that, that's your father's lucky bowling ball. | Sometimes it seems like your father loves bowling more than me.
  • Melodoll – That doll is so cute! Did you make that for your sister?
  • Ducky – That's not yours, is it? Must be the previous homeowners. | That ducky looks thirsty... *hic*
  • Bear Trap -- Please be careful, honey. Wouldn't want another accident. | G-get that thing away from me, darling...
  • Dolly – Isn't that your sister's? I think she's looking for it. | Would you like some wine, Dolly?
  • Boarding – Oh, good morning Tabby. Don't worry about this room anymore.
  • Axe – Put that back in the basement, you're going to hurt yourself. | Did you get that from the basement? Careful for the rats in there.
  • Shotgun – I don't think your father would like you playing with his gun. | Hey, what are you doing with your dad's gun? So not cool!
  • Slingshot – That slingshot... W-where did you find that? | I see you've been somewhere you shouldn't... *hic*
  • Marty – Get that thing off your head, it's unsanitary. | Tabby, can you talk to snails? Tell him I need more wine.
  • Sandwich – Aren't you hungry, Tabby? | Guess you won't be eating with me... how rude!
  • Drunk – Howdy there, partner. Your dad's coming home soon.
  • Post-"Memories" – ... / Stay focused, Lisa... / Bread, lettuce... jelly? No [no comma, sic] that's not right...
  • 3 AM+ -- How long have we been here? My memory is so foggy. / T-Tabitha, is that you? / All work and no play makes mommy way too sober.
  • Stick – No time, Melody... Sandwiches must be made. / Not now, Melody. / M-Melody... D-d-daughter... / I'm so tired, Melody...
  • Post-"Mom" – Huh... Strange. Normally I would be sloshed by now. / M-Melody, what's been going on? Have I been dreaming? / Something weird is going on around here... / M-maybe I can help...
  • Ghost – Melody... I wish I could have done more. Been a better mom for you girls. Try and remember me as I was...before this house... Goodbye, sweetie.
Dialogue, Too
Marty
  • Intro – Oh, a little girl? And an adorable one, at that. My name is Marty, I'm a snail. You smell like you're having a hard time. Would you like some help?
  • Second meeting – Hello again. You look like you could use my help!
  • Default – What's in store for us today, Tabby? / Ready for another adventure? / Think we could take a break? / (Dream) What are we dreaming about today, Tabby? / (Remember) What are we thinking about today, Tabby?
  • Dolly – That doll sure is rude.
  • If shown Toby – Hmph. That Toby kid had it coming if you ask me...
  • If shown Toby the ghost – So, that's Toby... Hmph. Not impressed... and he's dead! She really could do much better.
  • If worn while talking to Melody – Your sister sure is cute! You think you could put in a good word for me?
  • If worn while talking to Drunk!Lisa – I think your mom has a drinking problem.
  • If worn while killing Melody – How could you do that to her? I can't even look at you right now.
  • If killed – Something strange happened to me... I was just squirming along when suddenly everything went black. I couldn't feel anything... It felt like an eternity passed. And then, out of nowhere, I appeared in this room again.
  • Killed by James – Well, now I understand why you have daddy issues!
  • Killed by Wardrobette – Sh-she ate you, Tabby... Are you okay?
  • Third meeting – I'm starting to memorize this tune... Hop on.
  • Killed by Frog Lord – I'm really starting to hate frogs... / *angry snail noises* I HATE FROGS! / WE'VE COME TOO FAR... END HIM, TABBY! / This is the run...
  • If worn while killing the Neighbor -- That sweet old lady... You just chopped off [says this even if you shot her] her head!
  • Post-any kill – Not now, Tabby. I need some time to process what I saw.
  • Post-"Bloodshed" – The screams... The blood... Their faces... How do I go on after seeing all that? I feel numb. I can't keep doing these things, Tabby.
  • Post-"Father" – Tabby... I can't stop seeing it. Your father... The way his body came apart. The blood... Oh my, the blood. I knew it had to be done, but... Oh god...
  • Pre-"The Song" – Melody.. You have to try and save her.
  • Post-"Family" – You have a beautiful family, Tabby! I never knew my own, you're the closest thing I have. Thank you for showing me what it feels like... Even though it ended so quickly...
  • Mid-"Memories" – Go on without me, Tabby. I need to catch my breath.
  • Post-"Memories" – Why are we back here, Tabby? We finally made it out of the house. Oh, so this is a dream? I see... I'm happy to dream with you.
  • "Green Thumb" – Maybe if we keep watering it she'll feel a little happier. You're a good sister.
  • Killed by the Seamstress – What was that thing? It almost looked like... No. It couldn't be her. It's just a bad dream.
  • Post-"Reflections" – It's nice to reminisce sometimes, isn't it? But it's important not to get stuck in the past. You girls are free now. Maybe we can just watch a movie instead? Okay, if you insist...
Melodoll
  • First time – So, we're finally awake. What's the point? It's already over, isn't it? Even Tabby left us here to rot... It all feels so pointless.
  • Second time – Maybe we are too weak to get through this... Tabby was the strong one. Maybe we should just give up...
  • Third – Hasn't this gone on long enough? Dying, over and over again. It feels like it never ends... At least we have eachother[sic]...
  • Eaten by Piano – Still trying out the music thing, eh? You sure do love the piano. Guess the feeling isn't mutual. We'll never be as good as grandma was, anyway.
  • Strangled by Toby – Was that... Toby? But, he's dead...[no space, sic]This can't be real, can it? It's our fault... We deserve this...
  • Post-"Reflections" -- Why are we back here? We're free, right? But it feels like we're forgetting something... Like something is missing. Hmm...
  • Jump – Are you sure there's nothing else for us to do? I tried to keep you safe down here. / I was hoping we could play forever... / Can't you stay just a little while longer? / I wish it never had to end... / It felt like I was really there with you. / It's been so much fun, Melody.
Melody
  • Default – I hate everything. / I hate this house. / I hate what he did... / I hate that clock. / I hate what I saw. / I hate my life. / I hate this room. / I hate myself. / I hate these walls. / I hate mornings.
  • Post-Memories – I hate this memory.
  • Bowling Ball – Bowling... I hate bowling.
  • Duck – What the hell is that? Get it away from me!
  • Bucket – Are you implying that I'm a bucket-filling crybaby? Not funny.
  • Milk – I think that milk is expired. It smells worse than Toby.
  • Plant – I don't remember having this plant. But I don't hate it...
  • Snail – I hate snails more than I hate Father.
  • Sandwich – There's nothing I hate more than sandwiches.
  • Playing – You never liked my music. Go away, Tabby. / Toby loved this song...
  • In bed – I feel so alone...
  • Presented with doll in bed – Thanks for bringing her to me, Tabby.
  • In bed with doll – I missed you, dolly. Don't ever leave me again.
  • Melodoll – Is that doll supposed to be me?
  • Garden – I always loved it here. Do you remember? Before the house. Before everything. Just me and you together in the garden. But now it's just an old memory. A fading reflection.
Narration
  • "Father" – You fall to your knees, exhausted. Father is dead. His head rolls over and his glossy eyes shift at you. Just a twitch once and no more. The darkness retreats, but somewhere distant a fleshy heartbeat continues...
  • "Bloodshed" – Blood pools in doorways & seeps into the carpet. Splatter covers the walls. It drips from your fingertips. Your father grins madly and embraces you. The darkness swallows you both, leaving nothing behind.
  • "The Song" – Your sister's song fills the House. The dark burns away as the sound echoes throughout. Deep shadows retreat from your father's eyes. The curse lifts...but at what cost?
  • "Family" – It did not seem possible. The day stretched on and the darkness grew bold. The curse on your house insurmountable. But now, the house is still. The endless gnawing dread replaced with a warm meal and you return to your old, familiar life...
Très Dialogue
Neighbor
  • Intro – Oh, hello young lady. I was just peeping a little. I'm your next door neighbor! Oh, you never noticed me before? That's odd. I've always been here...watching.
  • Intro + Death – I smelled blood, and thought something might be wrong. There's always something interesting going on here. And you seem to be in a predicament.
  • Pre-"Family" – There must be a way to stop these freak accidents... Be sure to check every room, wouldn't want to miss anything. Sometimes the answer you need is right in plain sight.
  • Pre-"Song" – It's a shame about your sister [Melody]. She's been a bit depressed. She needs her big sister now more than ever. Keep an eye on her. Make her feel safe. Protect her.
  • Second meeting – Your name is Tabby, right? I've been watching you. (+ Endings You sure have been busy! Saved your whole family... and then murdered them all... You even managed to break free from this house! And yet, you keep coming back...) It's strange, the frogs seem to be drawn to this house. They're not even native to the area... The previous occupants tried to exterminate them... They disappeared shortly after that. Didn't even say goodbye.
  • Third meeting – This house feeds on your family's pain, Tabby. Don't let it get the best of you. Only you can stop this. We're different from the others. We can remember. When it resets, they forget. Use this to your advantage[. sic] The house feeds on chaos, Tabby. If you can cut off its supply, perhaps you can stop the curse.
  • Post-Endings – Interesting... You're back at it again? What's pulling you here? Missing the family? Or, are you just looking for an excuse to see me? Hehe, I'm just being silly! Have a nice dream, Tabby.
  • Pre-Frog Lord slaying – Oh, yes...Tabby. Would you mind helping me with something? The croaking... I can hear it from my house. It keeps me up at all hours of the night. I can't even remember the last time I slept. Would you mind...disposing of them for me?
  • Default –How are you feeling tonight? The frogs... Take care of the frogs, Tabby!
  • Melodoll – Thinking about your sister? Truly a shame what happened. You know, I've been thinking-- Perhaps it's not too late. For your sister, at least. But you'll need to give up control to give her a chance. Once you've let go, you won't be able to return. Let me know when you are ready, Tabby.
  • TV – Let me know when my show comes on, girls. I need my true crime fix! / When I was a little girl I picked flowers across the street. Now there is a graveyard there. / It looks like a new family has moved into your old house... I'll have to do some peeping tomorrow / Hey, girls. Don't stay up too late. A good night's rest is the best remedy for despair!
Rat
  • Default – Sorry about the window. / Are there any more sandwiches? / I much prefer the taste of a turkey sandwich to a human. / Sorry I came at you like that. Rats gotta eat, you know?
  • Fire – It's very hot in here, you guys should fix the AC.
  • Bowling Ball –That thing weighs almost enough to pin down a demonic rug!
  • Key – Guess you can't trust a cat to do anything.
  • That doll... It's giving me a weird vibe.
  • Bucket – Can I have that back, please?
  • Full Bucket -- Careful where you pour that, someone could slip and fall!
  • Ducky -- It's been ages since I've seen that... thing.
  • Bear Trap – Are you threatening me with that thing? Go away.
  • Axe – Hey, that's my axe! I don't like people touching my stuff.
  • Shotgun – You'll shoot your eye out with that thing [likely a shout out to a certain holiday movie].
  • Slingshot – That slingshot smells divine... and familiar.
  • Marty – So, you're hanging with snails now?
  • Melodoll – Oh, no... Not another weird doll!
  • Fat – Hey, little girl, you wouldn't happen to have a drink [no comma, sic] eh? / Oh, to be young and thin again. Curse these delicious sandwiches. / You remind me of a little girl I used to know... / All this eating is thirsty business. / What's a rat gotta do to get a drink around here? / Give my compliments to the chef if you see her. / Your mom sure knows her way around a sandwich. / I'd eat ya if I weren't so full.
  • Second meeting – Sup, kid? Do I know you? You seem familiar...
  • Glass of Toilet – At long last, something to sip on. Thanks, kid. [OR] A bit late with the water. Don't expect a big tip. [Both] Bleh! What was that, sewer water?
  • Post-Vomit – Ugh, I feel sick. / At least that key is out. It was scratching my throat. / Alright, shoo kid. Rats gotta go back to eatin'.
  • Glass of Floor Wine – Does my nose deceive me, or is that a 1985 cabernet? Ah, what a treat. I haven't had such a fine wine in some time. It's always just sandwiches... So many sandwiches. Gimme that journal of yours, I wanna scribble something.
Seamstress
  • Melody, are you awake? Let's play hide-and-seek! / Is that really you, Mel? Want to play a game?
  • Returning after "No" – Did you change your mind? Please please please!
  • Found – Woah, how did you find me? I thought for sure you wouldn't see me here... Here's your prize... Scissors! Careful not to trip!
  • Post-Staffer – So, does this mean you're leaving? It went by so fast...and we only played one game! Do you even remember me? I know I've changed... But so have you, right? I don't blame Tabby for slicing me up. I was pretty rude, being possessed and all. But it's felt so good to be alive...
  • Generic Post-Staffer – Maybe you can dream about me sometime... / Tell Tabby I said hi. / It never ends! ...just kidding. / Did you like the doll I made you? / Get going, Mel! / Maybe a new family will move in someday.
Simon
  • Default – Zzzz...
  • Awake – Meow!
  • Holding milk – *His eyes widen and he begins to purr*
  • Milk poured – Meow meow meow!!!
  • Duck – *Hissss*
  • Snail – *He looks deeply offended by the snail on your head*
  • Melody – Meow meow... meow?
  • Singed – me....ow
  • Holding Melodoll -- Meowody?
Small Shade
  • I still remember when he took me... Or what used to be me... / Do you know what day it is? / He'll find you... eventually. / Do you know what happened to my family? / Have you seen my ducky? / I had a sister once too... I think.... / I can't feel my face....
Staffer
  • First Loop – What's this, a shift in the paradigm? A fresh soul is near. Come to me, child, I shall escort you over to the other side.
  • Later – Accept your fate, girl. There's no way out of this.
Tabby
  • Post-"Memories" – It feels like so long ago. That house. My family. My arm. It felt like a dream. Like I wasn't in control... But I'm free. I'm moving on my own now. What a beautiful day...
Tall Shade
  • I don't know what I am anymore. Or if I'm even anything... /Do you think he's actually dead? ...I hope so. / There's another girl with a face down here. Do you know her? / I feel so lost... / We didn't have anyone to help us... / Do you know where my family is? / It's been so quiet down here.

Toby
  • Default – I knew I never should have come to this house. / It smells t-terrible in here. / F-feels like time has stopped completely...

  • Bowling Ball – Melody hates b-bowling... We used to bond over that.
  • Marty – Hmmm. That snail is giving me a dirty look, Tabby.
  • Axe – Melody always hated that axe. I miss her so m-much...
  • Sandwich – Your mom makes the best sandwiches...
  • Shotgun –Th-that's his gun, isn't it?
  • Slingshot – It's more use to you than me, now. T-take care of it.
  • Duck – I r-recognize that duck. She is looking for it...
  • Melodoll – Hey, that's Melody! Does that mean we can save her?
  • Reunion – M-Melody... It almost feels like you can see me... Wait a second... You CAN see me, can't you? I-I don't believe it, it feels like years since I... Well, you know... I've just been watching from afar. B-but this is different! You're actually awake, Melody! Maybe you can get out of this place... It's too late for me, but I'll help you if I can.
  • Tabby's Room – I never had a chance to tell you-- I guess it doesn't matter anymore, but I-- I... I love you, Melody.
  • Candle – That's no ordinary candle, is it? It always feels cold in this house... But I can somehow feel the warmth from it. Interesting... Perhaps there IS a way I can help you.
  • Repossessed – Errrghhh. / Muhhh.
  • Loop after Repossession – Hey, did you see that? I totally possessed my body! If you can bring my body to me again-- Maybe I'll be able to help after all!

Toilet Demon
  • Intro – What's this, a child? Hm... I sense potential in you.
  • Second meeting – Hello again, child. I can smell your craving for blood.
  • Third+ – There's my favorite little monster. Feeling homicidal?
  • Post-"Memories"(?) – Hello, Tabby. Still have a penchant for murder, hm?
  • Accidental death (Lisa slips) -- The blood must be spilt by your own hand. You are unworthy.
  • One killed -- You've spilt blood... but not enough yet. I need more.
  • Two killed -- The scent of blood grows pungent, but the house needs more.
  • Three killed -- The blood grows more pungent. Just a little more...
  • Doll is left -- One last soul remains... but where?
  • Done -- The house beckons to you. Your duty is fulfilled.
  • Melodies -- Pssst. Hey, kid. I didn't think you had it in you. I'm impressed. Using your family and dead boyfriend to defeat him. Ruthless. I'll be in touch, m'kay?

The Story (major guesswork & spoilers)
Major Timeline
  • The house falls under a curse, likely put in place by Staffer, in order to trap souls within.
  • The Neighbor watches at least two other families (or possibly Tabby's ancestors?) try and stop the curse, the last of which leaves behind the Ducky (Fridgette, Lisa, Small Shade); these families were some time ago, as Grandma originally lived in the house as well and an immature faceless shadow owned the duck.
  • Tabby's grandfather dies and is thusly ensnared, eventually becoming the old man playing with puppet strings (Neighbor, "Memories").
  • Tabby is born sometime before Melody (Grandma).
  • Tabby's family moves into the eponymous House ("Moving Day"), possibly after Grandma dies and it's inherited.
  • James becomes possessed, a Demon inhabits the Toilet, something similar infests the Fridge, a messenger attached to the House embodies the Doll, one of the Basement Rats becomes very large, the Centipede worms into Tabby's room, and the family members become fodder for resurrection as horrible monsters (Mombie, Zimon, Hanging Melody).
  • James kills Toby (with the axe?).
  • Lisa hides the body, which leaves the slingshot and Toby's ghost tied to the sub-room long enough to attract flies, spread the scent of decomposition, and become a monster candidate (Tomby).
  • Melody falls into a deep, suicidal depression, only comforted by her piano ("I hate what he did", "I hate what I saw", "I hate that axe" – Melody).
  • Marty comes for the smelly body and stays for Melody's playing.
  • Tabby breaks the curse, with or without Marty, and loses her arm in the process ("Memories"). She then undergoes nightmares of her time under the curse (possibly as a result of PTSD).
  • Months later, Tabby sacrifices herself to the Neighbor, who wraps Tabby up in her neck like a snake and appears to bite Tabby's head off; this Awakens Melody.
  • Melody frees herself and the spirits of the family and winds up looping alongside Tabby.
Unclear
  • Lisa develops a drinking problem due to marital issues such as James bowling instead of spending time with her.
  • Marty recognizes the Seamstress, but doesn't elaborate – snails can live up to 50 years and he's also intelligent with the ability to enhance human stamina, so who knows?
  • The Neighbor appears to be on the same level as Staffer (they both have a TV room viewing the house).
Older Gamejolt Version
I'm having to pull this secondhand from ManlyBadassHero's video so pardon lack of deep dive. All of this is an earlier build, so obviously developer intent may have changed.

Dialogue
Dolly
  • Initial – "If only I had a friend. Will you find me a friend?"
  • Simon – "Oh, yes. I do love kitty cats. Here, take this. You might need it."
  • Killed James – "Well done, my friend. Now hold me."
Melody
  • Initial – "Oh thank heavens Father boarded me in here... I desperately need to use the bathroom."
Tabby
  • Dolly – "Just an ordinary doll."
Toilet Demon
  • Barfy – Ding dong, daddy's almost home. Too many people... Clear them out. Kill them all. Be a good girl now.

Timeline

Mechanics
  • Simon was a carry-able item that spawned in either the Hall near modern Bathroom, the Kitchen where Lisa would eventually be, or in the equivalent of his sleeping spot.
  • Shotgun acquired by bringing Simon to Dolly, and was pre-loaded with a single shot.
  • Bear Trap reusable.
  • Rug didn't move or disappear at midnight.

I see. And can you help me how to edit my files? Or can you send a video about it? I would apperatice it.

The old man... you mean the mask man with the staff? Toby's ghost appears in the bathroom, Melody's room, & Tabby's room at random in Melody's mode. If he doesn't appear with the lights turned off, then you may have a bug and need to verify your Steam files or similar troubleshooting.

Hello. I have a question. The old man killed Toby, and I cannot find his ghosts since that. Can somebody help me?
Thanks.

@string of numbers: Melody has dialogue for the axe, but not the bear trap.


@Persistent Thank you for informing me of the fridge demon, but there appears to be a glitch wherein she does not exit the fridge, so I will wait until I can verify for myself. If it's intended, then it's possible "Fridgette" is a previous mother , as Mombie appears to try to make Tabby into a sandwich when caught.

The fridge demon wants the rubber ducky: if you throw it on the ground, it will actually pick the ducky up while chasing you… I guess that monster was what became of the previous home owner.

I think Toby was killed by the bear trap and not the axe. Mom implies there was an accident with the bear trap ("Please be careful, honey. Wouldn't want another accident"). There is also the fact that Toby will always say "I d-don't think your father likes me very much" if you talk to him while holding the axe.
