Description

After the most boring week of your life at the beach, getting home is the only thing on your mind. Then you meet Jacky on the last evening of your holiday. She lives in your town and is booked on the same flight back the following morning. Meeting her might seem like the beginning of an adventure, but when you miss that flight and find yourself separated from her, a much bigger journey begins. Back Home is a story-driven game with a road-movie feel, turning your return trip into a winding adventure with a touch of mystery. Along the way, you’ll meet girls and women with distinct personalities and stories of their own. Some will help you find your way home; others will lead you farther from it. Each encounter adds another perspective to a journey that turns out to be anything but straightforward. Built around a “show, don’t tell” approach, Back Home favors visual storytelling over long pages of text paired with an unchanging image. Its characters are unique, each created by the game’s developer. Reaching home means keeping your goal in sight, but focus alone won’t get you there—you’ll also need to pay attention to the people and possibilities around you.
