Big update for Home is Where One Starts...

I thought it would be fitting with school starting up again to release an update for Home is Where One Starts... (and a big discount to boot). The big updates include Linux 64-bit support, subtitles (which can be easily edited for fan translations), Steam Trading Cards, and a huge variety of small fixes and additions. Please note that the Linux version is still in beta, and you can visit this forum post on potential compatibility issues. Also, if you’re interested in creating a fan translation of the game, visit this post about the subtitle system to learn more. Thanks again for everyone’s support! It’s been a great journey sharing this small story with everyone, and your kind words do not go unnoticed. By the way, I believe there is still an ending no one has discovered yet! I look forward to seeing if you guys figure it out. If something is on your mind, feel free to send me an email at homeiswhereonestarts@gmail.com .

“I remember when I was a little girl, waiting at the end of my driveway. I had already missed the school bus, but I stood there anyway… envying the birds.”

Home is Where One Starts... is a short, first-person exploration game in the same vein as Dear Esther or Gone Home. It’s an experience where every object has been carefully placed to tell a poignant story—a story about childhood, hope, and the miracle of memory. You play as a little girl from a broken home somewhere in the American South. Exploring the lonely countryside reveals clues and vignettes which help the player answer the question of where home is—and how one can get there.

Key features:

A quiet, non-linear story told by the future self of a reflective narrator
Inspired by the rural countryside and stories like John Steinbeck’s East of Eden and Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life
A 15-30 minute experience that can be completed in one sitting
An experience that focuses on atmosphere rather than action or puzzles
A rich, detailed environment that rewards players who explore with story insights and secret endings
Oculus Rift DK2 support (currently in beta)
