Homesick is less of a game and more of an melancholic tale. Fairly short but with plenty of mystery it really invokes the feeling of it's namesake and stayed with me long after I finished it. Highly recommend.

Loved this game. The story, the pacing, the ending, it's not an overall dragging experience and has a bittersweet feeling to it. The puzzles sometimes are harder to crack if you're just looking for a leisure game, but rewarding when you realize what you need to do. 10/10.

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.

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.
