Hermit Home Designer

"Hermit Home Designer" is more of a book than a game. The idea is that you interact with a "Hikikomori", which is the Japanese word to describe someone who becomes severely socially withdrawn, lives at home and never leaves their house or seeks out interaction with others. Which is a serious problem in Japan, and other parts of the world too, and is linked to depression and other health problems. Anyway.
