Celebration + New Game AnnouncementI’m happy to announce that Home is Where One Starts... was nominated for the Emotional Game Awards alongside indie juggernauts like Life is Strange and Ori and the Blind Forest. It didn’t win, but just being nominated was an honor. To celebrate, my game is 80% off for a week. Thanks again for all the support and the sales! These profits will help me fund my next project, which leads me to this...
I’m working on a new story-driven game: The First Tree. You can learn more and sign up for a one-time release email on the game’s website, www.thefirsttree.com. In this game, you play as a fox looking for her missing family while learning about a young couple dealing with a death in theirs. If you’re fan of HiWOS and other games like Journey, Firewatch, or Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons, I think you’ll like this one. Follow me on Twitter for more updates. Thanks again!

[ 2016-03-28 16:54:13 CET ] [ Original post ] “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)
