Full name
The Strange and Somewhat Sinister Tale of the House at Desert Bridge
http://www.jonas-kyratzes.net/?page_id=95

A freeware adventure with crazy setting, lethal dose of humour and lovely music. I don't know what the developers've been smoking but despite crayon-drawing graphics the game is good. Funny and a bit sad... With some rather creative puzzles.

I ran across this but looking at the graphics prevented me from adding it on site. Is it worth adding?

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
Just try to play it as if it were interactive fiction with rodent control attached. Study the world not through graphics but by reading descriptons (almost everything is clickable). It's great!

You should never judge an adventure game by the looks of it, Scary!

And another YES from me too!
Thanks for pointing this out Gr.Viper, it's really nice so far

As for the graphics, I think they are 'childish' on purpose to set the general atmosphere.
I'll certainly check out this guy's other adventure games mentioned on his site!

Ohter games are not that humorous. "Last Rose..." is really a rather depressing short story about a post-nuclear wasteland.
But this guy can create atmosphere with his writing for sure.

Ouch... I couldn't make it past the first few minutes of Last Rose (too much to read and somewhat confusing gameplay), but I'll admit that guy can write very well.
