About the game

Home is Where One Starts... is a short, first-person exploration game in the same vein as Dear Esther or Gone Home. It’s a story about childhood, hope, and the miracle of memory. You play as a little girl from a broken home somewhere in the American South. Exploring the lonely countryside reveals clues and vignettes which help the player answer the question of where home is—and how one can get there.

    Very intimate storyline and great environmental details. They recreated the feeling of their childhood so well! There is a chance to get lost but you can find everything in one sitting.
