WILL THE FAMILIAR FACES RETURN?

HOMESICKNESS is a solely developed point-and-click free-roam psychological horror game that delves into the depths and nuances of nostalgia and primitive online media.

Step into the shoes of Theo as he explores the empty, desolate halls of CHILDREEF, making his way to the lower floors. With the Kids' Multi-tool, uncover hidden exits and find your way down as you attempt to make sense of what is happening.

Explore, collect items, find special tools for survival, and overcome what awaits in the seemingly empty corridors of CHILDREEF.

With each game over, things begin to change. Previously visited paths become blocked, and disorientation starts to set in.

Keep an eye on unseen corners; you are not alone.

LEST THE UNSEEN CORNERS HARBOR HIDDEN TRUTHS

You play as young Theo, awakening in a place long forgotten. In his possession is a lone tape, left behind by a loved one who holds a place in his heart.

The remnants of the tape serve as your only guide, leading you deeper into the daycare of CHILDREEF. As you listen to the tape's fragmented messages, clues begin to emerge.

The voice that speaks on the other end is the one that will guide you. She waits for you to come, on your way down.
