    Home Sweet Home
    This home aint so sweet
    Home Sweet Home is an around 4 and a half hour long first person survival horror game where you play as Tim in search of his wife who has disappeared.. And this game is creepy and unsettling from start to finish… This game is very similar to the likes of outlast… youll be walking around different areas trying to find items to progress through    Home Sweet Home

    Home Sweet Home is an around 4 and a half hour long first person survival horror game where you play as Tim in search of his wife who has disappeared..
    And this game is creepy and unsettling from start to finish…
    This game is very similar to the likes of outlast…
    youll be walking around different areas trying to find items to progress through the game, but you’re defenseless... you have a flashlight... thankfully one with infinite battery… so no battery collecting here.. but while you’re searching for items, you’ll occasionally run into this monster out here sounding like rose at the end of titanic… crying for someone to come back.. and if she spots you she will chase after you and kill you, taking you back to the previous checkpoint…you are able to run from her and hide in corners or in lockers until she leaves… and these moments are so tense and make otherwise unscarry moments feel terrifying.. so many scares, and not just cheap jumpscares… you actually feel you have to be careful when you hear or see her… keeping you on your toes throughout the entire game… and thankfully this game is paced perfectly sortve like the first outlast… it isn’t constant dealing with enemies.. Dealing with her and other is spaced out, I feel perfectly…
    stopping the game from feeling like a chore and keeping it feeling fresh and unpredictable…
    and rooms are constantly changing up... the scenery changes at a nice pace as well…
    the final chunk of the game though is where I feel things start to fall apart.. Too many repeat areas... and the game sequel baits…
    home sweet home is a part one game and its annoying…
    I felt no pay off other than an explanation for the monster chasing you around as you search for your wife…
    This game however is definitely one of the better horror games I’ve played, and one of my favorites for the year and is worth dipping your toes into…
    it also now supports vr and psvr.. however I wasn’t able to test this out
    I give Home Sweet Home

    This is one of the first horror games I have ever played. Me an my friend just wanted to play a good horror game to get scared and this game did the trick. I really enjoyed the concept of the game. REALLY hope there is a second one or theending was pointless.

    **** Home Sweet Home... it's damn scary game, but oh my gosh it **** sucks.

    The AI is just so horrible and the ending... how did they think that was a good ending? It wasn't an ending at all frankly, the game just stopped when it was about to get it's ending. Also with VR you get stuck all the time. The vision is so limited. I had to complete the game without VR cuz of constant crashes    **** Home Sweet Home... it's damn scary game, but oh my gosh it **** sucks.

I can't believe how this has so high score here...    … Expand

    First 90 minutes of fun but after the Red Eye section it becomes a boring game of cat and mouse, pointless repetition of key collection and dreadful stealth mechanic. Horrendously bad.

    Me ha parecido un juego de terror...y eso ya es decir mucho. El juego da miedo (no tensión, como podríamos tener en un outlas). principalmente porque el factor "gato - ratón" rápidamente se vuelve sencillo debido a la mala IA (lo peor del juego junto con el 3er capítulo que me ha parecido muy poco inspirado) pero el resto es brutal. Llega ha crear unas atmósferas realmente terroríficas yMe ha parecido un juego de terror...y eso ya es decir mucho.

Llega ha crear unas atmósferas realmente terroríficas y originales. Hay secciones del juego terriblemente sublimes (Ej la segunda vez que estas en "casa") que te van a hacer pasarlo mal como pocos.
    Muy recomendable y a un precio muy reducido.    … Expand

    Far from being a revolutionary horror game, Home Sweet Home delivers some genuine and folkloristic jump scares. Too bad it doesn't have a true ending... how long we should wait for the second (and hopefully last) episode?

    Home Sweet Home is an unsettling horror experience that uses East Asian religion as its theme. Being pursued by a grim knife-wielding woman is enough to make this a game that will haunt your dreams, but the overly simplistic gameplay and an unfinished story keep Home Sweet Home from becoming an indie classic.

    It’s a short, by-the-numbers thriller that’s enjoyably creepy even with the limits of the production on full display. [Issue#164, p.89]
