  • story

    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 64% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The story is a brief yet emotionally impactful narrative centered around cleaning up a loved one's belongings, conveying themes of loss and remembrance through subtle, detail-rich storytelling. While many find it touching and unique, some note it feels underdeveloped and could benefit from further expansion, with a few critiques on minor translation and presentation issues. Overall, it's praised for its heartfelt message and atmosphere despite its short length.

    • “11 minutes of the hardest hitting story I've felt in years.”
    • “It’s essentially one single scene, yet the way the story is told through the space and the objects you interact with is genuinely emotional.”
    • “The details of the items the player has to collect feel very intentional; as the items, no matter how small and meaningless they may seem, tell the story of how Adam lived his final days.”
    • “But the story could be developed to be something so much more than what it is.”
    • “This game could honestly be amazing if done right, the controls are buggy and several things highlight, making it hard to pick just one thing, you're so busy trying to get the controls down you really miss the effect of the story.”
    • “The story was quite typical as well nothing special.”

    The game delivers a brief but deeply emotional experience, often described as touching, heartwarming, and bittersweet, effectively exploring themes of grief and loss. Its simple gameplay and charming art complement a heartfelt story that resonates strongly with players, evoking tears and a cozy, reflective atmosphere. While some note room for enhancement in execution, the emotional impact remains its standout strength.

  • gameplay

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    13% positive mentions, 68% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions

    The gameplay is simple and minimalistic, primarily involving walking, pointing, and clicking to clean objects, with a short duration of around 10 minutes. While some find the mechanics clunky and unpolished, the straightforward gameplay effectively supports the game's emotional narrative and charm. Many suggest it feels like a prologue, with potential for deeper mechanics in a fuller sequel.

    • “Project Homecoming Haven is a simple, bittersweet, and heartfelt little game with a charming art style and straightforward gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay consists of clicking on items to remove them from the room, and after you've collected things you can examine each item in your inventory for more details and some commentary by the cleaner.”
    • “Sweet and heartwarming in theory but poorly executed and the gameplay isn't much either, the pixel art's good at least.”
    • “Very unpolished game with very little content/gameplay and extremely clunky controls.”
    • “So I'm left with three thoughts: firstly, the game is more profound in its small, contained way than I initially and mistakenly thought; secondly, there are aspects of the gameplay that could be improved (the very slow movement, the inconsistency of whether an item is in view & in reach of the cleaner or not, and the lack of highlighting of some objects that can be picked up); and thirdly, some additional text about the objectives, particularly on the final inventory scene, would be very helpful.”
