after 6 months or a year or half a year I am taken by the need to come here and pay a visit… to the game with 100 names, via Dolorosa, the Rose Garden, “No beaty No more”, … this one Home is may the dearest of all for me.
Or may Collect the 3 Artofacfs. Or Maybe Universal History of Light.
Tyndall.

The one I cam’t find the title, but it’s a surrealistic subway system with a very imaginative “cagey” level near the end…

They are all much better than the 2 commercial releases (pf.which, the first is better than the 2nd).

You shouldn!t shy from publishing a very unique artful game, at least on Itch.io. One, I mean at least 15 of those you already have here.

I tried both the Mac and the Windows version, and I can’t get it to work either way. In the Windows it displays too large, while on the Mac it just displays a black screen (the audio still works though).

[…] Home, a mini pixel novella if you will, is about getting old. I almost couldn’t stand to play it, afraid of what could happen to the sweet old Mr. Palmer. This game forces mortality on to you – as your food, happiness and sleep meters all slowly drain to nothing as you try so hard to get to any one of them, it occurs to you that there really isn’t any hope. It’s sort of crushing. I expected some sort of sad demise of Mr. Palmer, but the sweet ending where we discover his daughter has been there for him gives us a little beacon of hope in an otherwise very dreary game. Missing is a similarly sad game. You are a father whose son has been missing for years. The aim of the game seems to be to find your son (although there is no instruction apart from a short introductory story). As you go around putting up posters and talking to people in exactly the same manner, with exactly the same responses, over and over again, you realise that it will go on forever. The fact that you could go on with this game for ever without any closure makes your heart sink. I, like many players I’m sure, continued, and went around the map a few times, asking the people again, just in case something comes up. The realism within the game’s metaphors is one of the hardest hitting things – people actually experience this. […]

Simple message but powerful feeling given by the game mechanics. Great game.
