I’ve tested Sarah’s House on Mac with wingames. Here’s how to get it running.

My review

The animation is scuffed, but somehow it adds to the vibe. The gameplay and story are so good. I really like how the dialogue sits in the game world instead of appearing as a 2D overlay at the top of the screen.
