On The Way Home : Strange Incidents

A brief little point and click horror game. A wholesome horror game with two girls, one that has no self preservation instinct and one that does. There are some spookiness but it has an odd cozy vibe to the anomalies around town.

On The Way Home is an adventure game about two girls who meet a ridiculous number of monsters, ghosts, apparitions and the like on their way home from school. I really wouldn't call it a "horror game". Most of creatures are mysterious at best, silly at worst, and usually just cute. And nothing bad ever happens. Characters - both the girls and monsters - are likeable, story keeps jumping between mysterious, funny and heartwarming, atmosphere and art are great. There are no real puzzles to speak of but there is gameplay: a sort of a mix of point'n'click and hidden object. In short, it's very fun and very cheap for what it offers.

The atmosphere is pretty spooky, but the interactions with the characters are cute and heartwarming. Highly recommended if you want a creepy yet cozy story!

[b]"peace out, meow!"[/b] 💖🖤🖤 🟩 cute artwork 🔷 very linear 🔴 rather short [b]vibes:[/b] cozy creepy [b]loops:[/b] its sort of a fairly linear point and click with some minor hidden object spookiness [b]states:[/b] finished 100% [b]ramblings:[/b] its pretty enjoyable, the two main characters are just walking along home from school and have this fun rather increasingly blase attitude about all the weird stuff they face. there's not really that much here in terms of gameplay like puzzles or choices, you're just going along for the silly spooky surreal vibes as you find scary skeletons or goofy goobers. the writing is sorta awkward in a way that feels bad and stiff rather than intentional, i can't tell if it is just like that or if it's a weak translation, but it's serviceable enough because this isn't exactly a story heavy game. i really quite like the art, it has a nice pixely mspaint style to it, and just the general feel the game is going for. [b]verdicts:[/b] it's wonderfully charming, i liked it quite a bit. don't expect anything deep, it's a cute mix of spooky and silly.

Simple and cute. I liked the art and some of the stories. The only problem is the translation, some parts are a bit wonky.

I loved the game! the atmosphere gives you little chills, but the anomalies you encounter are fun, and I spent several moments smiling or laughing despite the chills. I totally recommend the game
