Our take on Homesick
The atmospheric presentation and mystery framing give the game a larger-scale impression than its stated 2-to-4-hour average playtime. The experience is a compact puzzle exploration game, with its main progression tied to clues, decoding, and unlocking areas.
What is Homesick?
Explore an abandoned building from a first-person perspective while solving puzzles, decoding text, finding clues, and opening new areas.
The story gradually reveals the identity of the player character, the building’s past, and a possible route to escape. Progress takes place across the waking world and nightmare sequences, including hallways where darkness gives chase. The game uses a detailed 3D setting with a quiet but ominous atmosphere. Its mystery unfolds through exploration and environmental remnants left by the building’s inhabitants. The vendor gives an average playtime of 2 to 4 hours. An hour-long original instrumental soundtrack is included as an MP3 album.
