Home is Where One Starts...

This short, first-person exploration story casts you as a young girl from a broken home in the American South. An older version of the narrator looks back on childhood as you wander through her rural surroundings.

Explore fields, paths, and other countryside locations, examining and collecting objects that prompt recollections. The story emerges through narration and environmental details rather than action or puzzles.

The memories unfold in a quiet, non-linear sequence as you discover more of the landscape and its keepsakes. Finding additional items and memory fragments can reveal more of the story, including a secret ending.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its quiet rural atmosphere, scenery, music, and reflective story about childhood memories. Some find the short experience moving and immersive, while others feel the story is too slight or the exploration too sparse; a few also criticize the slow movement and lack of save states.
