About Greed Stays Home
WARNING: This video game may potentially trigger seizures in individuals with photosensitive epilepsy. Player discretion is advised.
For some time now, you've been researching the history of an aristocratic family from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, which lost a significant portion of its wealth due to a theft. The family never recovered financially after that loss. Friends and relatives were suspected, and bad luck was blamed. An innocent person was even wrongfully condemned. However, what truly captured your attention were the tragic events that unfolded in the nearby workers' village, nestled at the foot of the aristocratic estates, in the years following the theft—disappearances and other unsettling occurrences. Today, the village is nearly abandoned.
You've been wandering the area for the last few days, searching house after house. The few remaining locals give you suspicious looks, but no one bothers you. Who cares about crumbling, ownerless ruins and some lunatic with a backpack and a flashlight? Today is just another day and another house. Maybe this time, your dream will come true, and you'll find something worth more than an old shoe. And if not, at least you'll have another story to tell. After all, having a passion is what matters most.

You play as a historian and treasure hunter. Since childhood, you've been fascinated by tales of lost paintings, gold taken during the war, and stolen jewels. However, so far, the only things you've managed to find are a few 19th-century coins and other items worth only a few pennies at the local antique shop.For some time now, you've been researching the history of an aristocratic family from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, which lost a significant portion of its wealth due to a theft.

Fun little indie horror
W Game
It was a great game. Nothing groundbreaking. I just had a good time. The game is not long and is priced just right for its length. I liked the story concept and how the lore presented itself throughout the night. The textures looked good. The game is a bit dark, and changing the gamma does very little. It's dark, and you just have to deal with it. Lots of jump scares, some obvious and some not. Overall, I didn't care. I was having too much fun with it. It isn't bringing anything new to the genre, and that's okay. I had fun. I enjoyed the gameplay, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. 7/10
Greed Stays Home is a psychological horror experience that focuses on tension, atmosphere, and slow-building dread rather than action or traditional survival mechanics. Set inside an abandoned rural village filled with dark secrets and lingering supernatural presence, the game places players into the role of a historian and treasure seeker investigating the disappearance of an aristocratic family and the rumors surrounding their hidden fortune. What begins as a simple search for lost valuables gradually transforms into a disturbing descent into paranoia, supernatural horror, and the consequences of greed. From the moment players enter the isolated village, the game establishes an oppressive atmosphere that becomes its greatest strength. The empty streets, collapsing buildings, muddy roads, and constant darkness create the feeling of stepping into a place that has been abandoned for decades yet somehow still feels alive. Every environment carries a sense of decay and unease, as though the village itself is resisting the player’s presence. The game understands how important environmental storytelling is within psychological horror, and it uses every location to reinforce the feeling…
