About Domestic Defense

WARNING: THIS GAME CONTAINS SUDDEN NOISES AND FLASHING LIGHTS

Viewer discretion advised.

DOMESTIC DEFENSE

A tense and not too serious horror experience.

________________________

After an irrational individual threatens to do harm to your loved ones and proceeds to break into your household, it is up to you to purge this threat from your home. Domestic Defense is a unique horror game in which you must use wit, reflex, and audio cues to try to defeat your adversary. In addition, you can monitor your house through selectively placed security cameras and other devices, and this will enabled you to better locate your enemies.

GAMEPLAY
_______

An intruder has broken into your home with the stated goal of murdering your girlfriend. Your girlfriend arrives at 4:00. Until then, you must locate the intruder within your home to try to shoot him. This is tricky, because he is always on the move and will attempt to avoid or attack you when you near him. In addition, you must also contend with other family members who will pose major distractions. Domestic Defense provides you with an inventory system to aid with your goal. Items include security cameras which you can use to monitor parts of your household, and drinks to give you energy. When the time reaches 4:00 and you have not eliminated the threat, then you must protect your girlfriend from the intruder until one of them has been vanquished. If you have succeeded, then you will proceed to unlock the story of the background of your situation.

A bit like classic survival horror, but with the roles switched.

The objective of the game is to find the intruder and shoot him a certain number of times. The intruder will attempt to impede your progress. When time runs out, a new person will enter your household. If the intruder manages to attack them, then you will lose the game. Beware though, because your other family members will also cause distractions to your goal.

buying it while having a totally different expectation leads to this review. You might enjoy it. I was hoping to receive a serious home invasion horror game which is focused on self defense through various mechanics combining elements of FNAF with Welcome To the Game intruder sequences for example. I was really disappointed to find out that it is absolutely NOT like that. It´s more of a meme/joke based environment, with no real explanation of what is going on, which is not the worst but tbh. we have so many games failing to create serious experiences and believable immersive environments that this feels like an excuse. Note that this review is based on the first impression, I do not know much but I can tell you why the game lost me in the first 15minutes... It seems the game works against its own intentions: The map is SO ridiculously large which draws the focus to running around in search for the intruder and basically anything else more than anything else, also making the camera system quite useless if you need minutes of getting to a general area when you see something/body on the screen. I dont want to play a labyrinth game with wonky mechanics if the game is advertised as "d…

Never in a single game did I think it would be possible to meet the greatest president in history and brutally murder a child by one pumping him in the head, yet here we are.

This game seriously gave me goose bumps and chills! It's very reminiscent of grandma and grandpa but I really enjoy this experience. The controls are not bad but different and that makes things interesting as well! The game play was fun, the horror is there, achievements on steam, totally awesome!

It was obvious from the start that the creator of the game put a lot of care and thought into the story elements and balanced it out nicely with the in depth gameplay options. I was immediately immersed in the world of 'Domestic Defense'. Normally the gameplay would be extremely challenging, but luckily I am top 500 in Overwatch and as such this was a trivial matter. I look forward to future installments of the 'Domestic Defense' franchise and to see what else MelloDev has in store. Overall 10,000/10 would recommend. Not for the faint of heart and light stomached. Revolutionized the genre and promising up and comer.

Challenging, unique, tastefully surreal and enjoyable. Also was sweating bullets the first time I played this, jumping at every sound que I heard. Great job to the developer! Hope to see more work by you!
