About Dark Home

Dark Home is an asymmetric multiplayer horror game where players must work together with friends or alone enable to escape the nightmare of the Dark Home and the spirit that dwells within it.

All players play in a True First-Person view enable to increase immersion and accuracy.
One player takes the role of the spirit; a ghost that haunts a nightmarish pocket-dimension called the "Dark Home". The goal of the spirit is to find and eradicate the players within the nightmare.
The other (x) amount of players are tasked with finding the dream catchers and igniting them, weakening the nightmare and allowing them to escape. But they must be careful; the spirit is not alone in stopping the player. Trapped souls wander around the nightmare, looking to weaken the player and make them easy for the spirit to pick-off.
Will you escape the nightmare in this EARLY ACCESS title?

Dark Home was made in tandem with the book "Dark Home" by author Sandra Rains DeBusk.

It's then quickly rushed into Steam Direct. And, unsurprisingly, this never results in a product with any quality, interest, or value for gamers. This was a failed attempt to make another Dead by Daylight ripoff, an asymmetrical PvP arena combat game where one player is the monster and the others aren't. There are no players, this is abandoned Early Access asset flip garbage. So, the game might look better than you'd expect from an amateur project, but this is because it's partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Very little in this game is truly the creation of the "developer", it's just a bunch of rearranged assets. While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a …
