9 itemsAbout the Game
Welcome to Home Defender: A Holiday-inspired Adventure, a nostalgic journey back to the 90s with references to classic movies and games.
In this unique game, you'll take on the role of a home defender.
When your family go out, they forgot one very important thing... You!
Now you can play as nine-year-old boy. Your goal is to protect your home from two burglars who are trying to get you. You need to explore the house and find items that you can use to make traps and find weapons. You can also encounter side quests and enemies in different areas of the house, such as the basement, the attic and the backyard. Armed with imagination and a BB-Gun, you can create a wealth of clever contraptions.
You have 9 minutes before burglars enter your house. Try to beat your basement and attic nightmares first to find weapons and secret keys to unlock more traps.
When you defeat the bandits, you will be able to call the police to take them away.
To win you must know that:
Your every mistake costs your life
(then you lose everything you have collected in the inventory and you have to start the game again)
Save bullets, stones and water for later (the traps may be destroyed and then weapons and ammunition may be the only way to survive)
Patience and perseverance are the key to victory
Are you ready to defend your home from invasion? Get ready for an exciting game where your skills will be put to the test. Be the hero of your own Home Defender story!
Have fun playing and good luck defending your home!
!!! FREE DLC COMING SOON !!!
