Our take on Homeland
Its focus on horror and metaphysical questions gives up a lighter adventure tone. The setting instead centers on madness, supernatural creatures, personal demons, and the threat of losing one's mind.
What is Homeland?
Homeland is a horror Metroidvania set in a mythical and real world affected by an ancient darkness and a black abyss of madness.
The protagonist's girlfriend has been kidnapped by strangers, and the story asks why they took her.
