Wallace HOWL Art House - The House Remembers

"The House Remembers" follows Eleanor, a cheerful but lonely girl who lived in the house decades ago. The house has developed consciousness through memories in its walls. When Eleanor died, her spirit remained, and the house, grieving her loss, became "corrupted"—not with evil, but with a melancholic memory that warps reality. Eleanor guides visitors through looping memories, hoping they can help her and the house remember happy moments and release sadness, allowing the house to rest. The scare level is eerie but family-friendly, focusing on wonder, gentle melancholy, and playful interaction.
