You have no weapons you can find nor do you have any real means of defending yourself so all you can do is run when you encounter a threat. You may have a flashlight in your possession but the only thing you can do with it are turn it on and off. Outside of the main game path there are collectibles that try to flesh out the world but by the end of it you have no deeper understanding of the creatures you encounter and just why they're so terrifying to the people of Thailand.Īs alluded to earlier, the core gameplay mechanics should be instantly familiar to those that have played any indie horror game in the last few years. The bad news is that the game only exposes you to the myths but doesn't bother to explain them. Most games dealing with Asian horror mythology deal exclusively with Japan and, more recently, China and Taiwan so it is refreshing to see other East Asian countries and their horror belief system now presented to a wider audience. The good news here is that we have a horror game based on Thai horror myths and beliefs. With no other idea what's going on, you roam the building in search for both your wife and a way out.
You open the door to find that it is loosely barricaded with furniture and crawling underneath it you discover a flashlight and nothing else. You also discover that your wife isn't there at all. When you do wake up, you find that you aren't in your house but a run-down bedroom instead. When you begin, you hear the voice of someone who is presumably your wife trying to wake you up. The game doesn't start with much explanation. Home Sweet Home is no different, and while it changes things up here and there, it doesn't bring anything too new to the table.
The formula worked early on in terms of getting people to watch others play it on streams, freaking out at every little jump-scare, but the whole thing seems to have run its course, since you know what to expect from any new indie horror titles. There should be at least one stalker coming for you, and no matter what, you have no way to defend yourself. You put your protagonist in the creepiest of places, with an emphasis on a dark and run-down location. The game remains in a first-person point of view at all times. Lately, almost all indie horror games have stuck to a rigid formula.
