## What is Haru & Dako?

Haru is a Siamese cat. Dako is a Shiba dog. One night they wake up a long way from home, and MIA-7 — a small robot with a very long memory — offers to walk them back.

Going Home is a cozy grid puzzle about that walk. Draw a path, watch it play out, and try again when it doesn't work. Nothing is timed, nothing is lost, and the only thing you really spend is a little thought.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY
· Story Mode — 200 hand-built levels across 11 chapters, with memories told by MIA-7 along the way.
· Adventure Mode (NEW) — 100+ challenge levels you can start right away, no story progress required, with more added all the time. Hard and Extra Hard stages for when you want the puzzle to push back.

PUZZLES THAT KEEP OPENING UP
Portals, ice tiles, springs, arrows, switches, keys and doors. Each one arrives on a level of its own, gets explained in a single line, and then quietly starts combining with everything that came before it. No tutorial walls, no timers, no lives to lose.

A JOURNAL THAT FILLS UP
103 stickers to find and drag into the collection book, each with a small story of its own — including 19 role-play stickers exclusive to Adventure Mode. Decorate the pet room, dress Haru and Dako up, and tap a sticker to hear what they have to say about it.

MIA INFINITY (optional)
No ads, unlimited stamina, replay any level you have already cleared, and unlock the next Story Mode chapters early. Monthly or yearly, cancel anytime. Everything else in the game stays exactly where it is.

PLAYS ANYWHERE
iPhone and iPad. Fully offline — no account, no login, no internet needed. 17 languages. Game Center achievements and iCloud save sync, so your progress moves with you.

Made by one person, over a long time, for anyone who likes a quiet puzzle and a warm ending. Thank you for walking Haru and Dako home.
