Home Again
A downloadable game for Windows
You wake up on the floor of a house that knows you better than you know it.
You don't remember arriving. You don't remember the rooms, the people in the photographs, or why one of the faces has been scratched out.
There is nothing to fight and nowhere to run. There is only walking, looking, and the slow accumulation of things you didn't want to find.
Remember enough, and the house will let you upstairs.

nice
I like this game, it has an unsettling vibe and mysterious narrative to it.
I would like to know what your influences are for this game. To me, it reminded me of the film Skinamarink.
Looking forward to what you make next.
Mate, just get a girlfriend. It usually helps.
Yeah man, I’m glad you noticed! I was actually inspired by the movie Skinamarink haha
A pleasantly quiet horror game with a short story.
During my first playthrough, I ran into an issue when I opened the bathroom door and noticed how tiny I was. I pressed the "C" key assuming I was crouching, but I became even smaller and couldn't stand back up anymore. Also, if you stand at the wrong angle in front of a door while trying to open it, it pushes you to the side ;) I'm not sure if that's normal for games that used AI tools during development, but I've seen it happen in a few games now.
Other than that, a rock-solid game that never gets boring despite its quiet atmosphere. It was fun!
