Our take on Homeless

Rather than centering on combat or elaborate progression, the game turns routine security work into its main structure. Camera monitoring, patrols, and crime-scene checks replace the usual action-heavy approach, while the mystery gradually shifts the guard’s ordinary duties into psychological horror.

What is Homeless?

Homeless is a psychological horror game set in 1990s New York City.

Players take the role of Albert, a night-shift security guard at a Brooklyn subway station. After spotting a strange man in a restricted railway area through the security cameras, Albert investigates the figure and the crimes connected to him. Gameplay centers on checking CCTV, patrolling the station, exploring the surrounding area, and examining crime scenes. Small puzzles and occasional gunplay accompany the investigation. The story focuses on a stressful night and Albert’s sense of responsibility rather than complex mechanics. The game uses Unreal Engine 5 and includes a hidden level that becomes available after the final credits.

How Homeless plays

01Security Patrols: Players monitor cameras and walk through the station while investigating suspicious activity.
02Crime Investigation: Exploration and crime-scene examination reveal information about the mysterious figure.
03Psychological Horror: The story follows Albert as handwritten notes and unexplained crimes challenge his understanding of the night.
04Hidden Post-Credits Level: An additional level is available after the closing credits.
