About This Game

Somebody's Home is a horror series based on real cases. Every episode tells one of them: ordinary people, ordinary places, and something that should not have been there.

This is the first case.

Somebody's Home: The Boarding House

1980. You rent a room in a boarding house on a quiet street. Dinner is at eight, sharp, and Theodora, the old woman who runs it, tells you that here you are not a guest. You are family. She tends the garden herself, and asks only one thing: that you never set foot in it without telling her first.

By day

The boarding house is a warm place. Everyone eats at the same table, the chores are shared, and the other lodgers take you in as one of their own. Yet each of them seems to know something they won't say out loud.

By night

The house is not the same. You take the flashlight and go looking for the reason you cannot sleep. But someone walks the halls, whistling, and if they spot you where you shouldn't be, all you can do is hide and hold your breath.

Key features

  • Real footage from the case that inspired this story.

  • Genuine old music and films, playing on the radios and televisions around the house.

  • First-person psychological horror.

  • An old woman who comes looking for you at night and checks every corner where you might be hiding.

  • Conversations with everyone in the house, with replies you choose.

  • Everyday chores that slowly stop feeling normal.

  • All of it through the grain of an old VHS tape.
