These are not too difficult to accomplish, but do add to the overall length of the game. Some examples may be that you need to blow out three candles scattered throughout the complex to allow access through a certain door, but each of those candles has its own puzzle. As with most horrors, an onslaught of puzzles come into play and direct you to find the right items, or toggle scenes to new areas. Screams, cries and moans all play a part here to alert the player, or to give the player the sheer creeps. The sound adds a great deal to the scary scenes in this game, not that the visuals aren’t scary, but the sound tops it all. The sound effects are ear piercing and true to life – as far as horror is concerned. If you can, imagine hiding in a dark cupboard or locker whilst listening to your own breathing, then you hear the slow slide of a Stanley Knife opening and retracting, yeah, have fun with that thought. Hell, even the spirits have more weapons then you do. Similar mechanics also accompany Home Sweet Home and allow players to hide, run, and defend if caught. Similar to the Amnesia game series, the player must rely on both stealth and running to escape the horrors attached to your back. The shadows which cast over the blood soaked walls projected from the bright florescent lights, add an element of terror that really works against a modern setting, which in my view creates a far more scarier atmosphere. Even without X-Enhancements, this offers some of the best visuals I’ve seen in a horror survival for a long time. The first thing I noticed about Home Sweet Home is the crisp, photo-realistic look of the game, very P.T. Headset on and lights off, I loaded the game and prepared for the worst. At the same time, he’ll find himself being hunted by malevolent spirits and beings.
Naturally confused, he desperately begins to search for a way out while attempting to solve questions that could lead to answers regarding his wife’s disappearance.

The first in a series of terrifying first-person horror games, the game throws players into a dark and twisted labyrinth, where an overwhelming fear fills the air, dread bleeds through cracks in the ceiling and seeps down through broken floorboards, and anxiety grows stronger with every step.Īfter a long night filled with mourning and sorrow over the recent disappearance of his wife, protagonist Tim awakens to find himself in a strange, dilapidated building instead of the comfort of his own home. Home Sweet Home is here to show us that horror is still alive, or dead, or a humongous black monster wanting to slap the life out of you. Games in the genre have often suffered from either poor visuals, bad story-telling or have been down-right glitch ridden. Horror has not had the best response over the last couple of years. With photo-realistic graphics, a solid story-line and enough jump scares to leave you mentally scarred – and not wanting to walk the dark hall to the toilet – this is one guaranteed heart stopper. Home Sweet Home is a new horrifying survival game from both Yggdrazil Group and Mastiff, and boy, have they done an impressive job. I’m just going start with this, freaking awesome.
