\ : つㅤト • • ō Dust hangs in the air, ethereal light streaming through paneless windows, casting deep shadows in the hollows of cracks in weathered wallpaper and burning your weary eyes. Your vision is hazy, but your mind is hazier. Nothing makes sense, and you're overcome with a crippling fatigue that weighs upon your body. Shielding your face from the blaring gleam you begin to assess your surroundings, hoping to recover the shards of your fractured memories. While initially unassuming, Homesick is part puzzle game, part political commentary, alluding to the environmental and social implications of economic expansionism and bureaucracy . While elegantly designed, and graphically stunning, there are certain areas in which this title falls short, namely: STUFF THAT MADE ME GAMESICK [*]Your base movement speed is painfully slow. [*]Some elements can feel clunky, underdeveloped, or poorly signposted. [*]The entire game will only take a few hours to complete, at odds with the asking price. I did enjoy decoding the game’s cryptograph (I’ve written the title of this review in an approximation of the cryptograph, look at this tryhard), and overall the experience was rather satisfying, though the puzzles as a whole tended to be rather rudimentary. I would have completed the game in half the time with the option to sprint, as backtracking became rather an excruciating and time-consuming venture by the end of the game. An innate bias towards word puzzles forces my hand to bolster this game’s score a lil. 6.5/10

I should've written a review for this ages ago. I really love this game. I love the visual design, I love the "quiet" story telling, and I love the sombre, yet somehow comforting, atmosphere. The music in particular is wonderful and I regularly listen to the score in my free time, it's especially nice for falling asleep. If you like games that are reflective and meditative, you'll probably like this.

Sept. 2024

Well this was an interesting game - a walking puzzle solving game. You wake in a dilapidated room with no inkling as to why you are there and what is going on. I think it becomes clear very quickly that are likely dead and there are things to solve. I think what this game struggles with is direction. I understand the desire to not direct the player and to have them purely discover, but they need a reason to discover, some form of impetus beyond 'I am playing a game therefore there must be purpose'. Other than that though the game, whilst very short, left me with a little intrigue as what happened there so for me was worth the play-through.

A beautiful way to tell a story. Good puzzles to figure out. I've come back to replay and relive the experience.

June 2024

READ THIS WARNING BEFORE PLAYING! When you reach a certain puzzle that looks like it needs a pen and paper to solve, it can actually be solved by picking up a set of objects and pressing the letter keys. Wish the game had done a better job communicating that. Otherwise, this is everything I hoped for in a puzzle-adventure game: a hauntingly beautiful environment to explore, some satisfying puzzles, and a story to slowly uncover.
