Creepy soulless house

[Ghel]

Our customer didn’t end up buying this house, so I think it’s ok to talk about. No personally identifiable information is being shared.

Our customer put an offer on this house and then backed out:

The outside of the house is a sage green, and that’s the most color you’ll see. I know the trend is to make house interiors grey, but this one is grey and white. Everything, including furniture and bedding, is completely without color. Browsing the pictures is like watching a dream sequence full of clouds and fog.

But then tentacles pierce the fog! Oh, that’s a set of antlers hanging on a wall that the photographer thought was a good thing to have poking out of the edge of a picture.

And then! The picture of the last bathroom reveals the prison this house actually is. The entire shower surround is lined with large black tiles that clash with everything else in the house. It feels dystopian.

Vaguely reminds me of a short story I read online somewhere-- it might have been on the old Ichor Falls blog (sadly no longer up)-- which was sort of an anti-haunted house story. In a setting which had plenty of spooky and haunted lore, this new housing development had the opposite problem-- these new houses, rather than being haunted by spirits or whatever, were more like spiritual voids, which ended up being almost as harrowing as a haunting.

One set of antlers in a room, that I can understand. Three, all on the same wall? No-one decorates like Gaston!
I was half-convinced this was AI staging, but it's too consistently dull for even that to be an excuse. Utterly lifeless, bereft of past or future.
