kjorteoHelp, we've really fallen into the free twenty-minute games these days, haven't we.
HOME is a short little walking simulator where you interact with things (or not) as the narrator slowly unwinds a poem/speech about what home means to them. Controls are simple; you can walk around or do a single action command that makes your character sort of wave at whatever is directly in front of them. For NPCs and meaningful objects, this just makes a heart appear over them in a sort of "yes, you have interacted with me" acknowledgement. For doors, this opens the way to the next screen. The poem/narration changes depending on what you do or don't choose to interact with (talk to every single coworker in the office screen, just one or two, or none, etc.) and at the end it repeats the whole thing back to you. Then there's a kind of epilogue where everyone and everything you interacted with is there in your home. That's it, that's the game.
It's okay. There's not a whole lot to it but it's short and free so it doesn't really get in your way much. A cute fluffy little popcorn piece of a game, for, uh, relaxing at home I guess.
