Description

Homecoming pulls you into a distress-call mystery where a routine rescue becomes a test of trust. Developed by AneAney, this sci-fi visual novel takes place in Year 325 of the Cosmic Era, when the Directorate courier ASV Peregrine intercepts a garbled transmission from Bright Amuro aboard the Alliance flagship FSS Isis. Set in the world of Tjord’s The Fall, the story explores the uneasy stretch between Bright’s final broadcast and the Isis reaching port.

At the center of the investigation is a crew with tangled loyalties and plenty to conceal. Ensign Kai Amuro is both Bright’s younger brother and the Peregrine’s nominal captain. Joining him are his wife Liliana, the cryptolinguist who cracked the Aquila cipher; his hot-headed pilot sister Jenny; and Sergeant Gemma Varyn, a bodyguard with an unbroken protection record. Captain Serena Kirke maintains that Bright is safe, but liaison officer Dario Dalisso’s efforts to prolong the visit give the crew more reasons to question that assurance.

Homecoming 1.0 combines dialogue-driven visual novel storytelling with AI-generated CG artwork and mature themes of corruption, manipulation, and shifting power. Conversations and character encounters build the slow-burn tension, drawing attention to conflicting accounts and personal agendas. The central mystery gives the interpersonal drama a clear focus: what happened to Bright, and why does everyone seem to have something to hide?

For players drawn to spacebound intrigue, morally compromised characters, and an uneasy atmosphere, Homecoming offers a story built around suspicion rather than a straightforward rescue. Download and play Homecoming 1.0 by AneAney.
