About the Game

Welcome to the world(s) of Homewords! In this narrative adventure game you play a mute boy who has to help a rude kid find her parents on an alien planet.
Your goal is to prevent her from insulting anyone, be that human or alien, and guide her through increasingly difficult conversations to get closer to reuniting her with her parents.

Traveling tips when visiting the world(s) of Homewords:

  • Explore the Alien melting pot planet, Orbtüse, and discover its peculiar locations.
  • Hold intense conversations with charming and memorable characters.
  • Make sure Zoë doesn't insult said charming and memorable characters by interrupting her mid-sentence.
  • Walk, run and jump around each location to look for items you can use during conversations.
  • This also applies to useless items that Zoë wants because they are shiny.
  • Use your trusty notepad to help Zoë make decisions, that is if she feels like listening.
  • Visit Party Park, hosts of the biggest planet-warming party in the world.

  • No crying until the end.
