This game is a half baked mess. The story really goes nowhere, and the gameplay itself is just monotonous and boring. There are much better games in the App Store that achieve the mystery and atmosphere that this game is shooting for but, sadly, does not attain.
I like puzzle, horror, and pixel games and was pretty excited about Home. An hour and a half later, I’m wishing I didn’t spend my money on it. The story is at its most interesting about halfway through, before taking a random, confusing, and uninspired turn at the end. The way that the story ends leaves you with no answers and not enough curiosity or investment to go looking. It feels like the plot of the game was never actually decided, so it goes in a dozen different directions- not in an exciting, choose-your-own-adventure way, but in a way that drains all emotion from the story. Since there’s nothing in the way of a concrete storyline, there’s nothing for the player get attached to or curious about. I think I know what the developers were going for, but the game is just...flat.
Not really a horror or a puzzler. The atmosphere this game promises to have before you buy it is sadly the most fun you’ll have. Essentially, the character only interacts with himself to build a somewhat variable story of no consequence. At best, a good concept that falls flat.
Bad it’s not scary or really original. controls are wierd and can’t open doors
Home is a good game conceptually but spins too wide and open of a web to really capture my imagination. At the end you are left with essentially no reward for everything you did other than more confusion. I suppose their is a literary style that this is based on but the best authors like Poe still manage to capture your imagination, your horror, your mind and give you the finish. So in the end you are left with just your thoughts here instead. And there is no possible story which fits all the variables provided within. Please continue to write though. The App Store needs more unique tales like this. One suggestion to the player: definitely try and dedicate time to this start to finish. A lot gets lost if you play it 30 mins at a time. Good luck!
It was a lot of aimless searching/discovery and I never felt truly invested enough to care. I typically like games that offer a different approach, but this left a lot to be desired.
I encourage the developer to keep at it, but I do regret making this purchase.
The intro sounds good, I’d like to play this game but I am not getting results when I tap on places, I guess my finger is not doing it right, its frustrating, he just walks back and forth.
HELP ???
I would love to see a sequel to this game. I love games like this that are mysterious and pixelated
And good on you dev for the continued support and updates! I can tell you it’s ALWAYS extra appreciated to see classics like this still getting updates to improve the gaming experience years later
Not sure of what to expect, I put on the headphones, sat in the dark with black light and my wine, and started this up. Absolutely worth it. I didn’t stop until I finished it. A few years later I decided I had to give it another go. This is a game where storytelling, ambience, and the possibilities of changing the horrible events of our lives can be so simply and beautifully expressed in pixels. 10 out of 5.
