Under The Same Roof is a psychological thriller narrative game where players step into the shoes of Morgana, a 21-year-old Englishwoman who moves to Sydney with her fiancé John. They settle into a luxurious shared house dominated by men starved of female companionship—a environment simmering with predatory desire. Unaware of the looming danger, Morgana must navigate this hyper-masculine world while her fate hangs in the balance.
