Our take on GOHOME
The defining setup is a trip home alone after being separated from the character's parents, with a pursuer turning a familiar route into an escape.
What is GOHOME?
Set in a residential area in 2000s Japan, GOHOME follows a character separated from their parents and trying to get home alone.
The familiar route turns strange, and the character runs from someone in pursuit. The game uses a third-person viewpoint, with movement, jumping, crouching, and running controlled through keyboard inputs. It also includes autosave and mini-games that are separate from the story. The vendor characterizes the experience as sad, frightening, and mysterious, and says it contains no grotesque content.
