What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Home: A Quarantine Story is a free visual novel that explores quarantine life and family relationships with a strong narrative, though players note it's hampered by its RPG Maker presentation and lack of meaningful interactivity. The story receives praise for its atmospheric writing, realistic portrayal of anxiety and isolation, and emotional character work, but criticism centers on the mismatch between the game's point-and-click adventure aesthetic and its minimal gameplay, along with its brief length.

Not bad—it's a free visual novel made with RPG Maker. 7/10 More unique games: Check Group page for more unique games: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45665580 and part 2: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/462196021 found this helpful
It's a terribly depressing story of a woman who was living in an apartment and he comes to visit her family home. She gets verbally abused by both parents. I like the siblings. Is forced to work hard labor as a pregnant person and is emotionally manipulated into staying by both parents. Even though all they do is yell at her and tell her she's lazy.1 found this helpful

Игра 'Home: A Quarantine Story' - это небольшая, но атмосферная визуальная новелла, которая очень хорошо отражает опыт переживания карантина. Сюжет прост: вы оказываетесь заперты дома из-за загадочной болезни и должны прожить день за днем, принимая решения, которые влияют на ваше психическое состояние и отношения с близкими. Что мне понравилось: реалистичное изображение рутины, тревожности и скуки карантина. Диалоги хорошо написаны, персонажи кажутся живыми, а их истории вызывают сочувствие. Музыкальное сопровождение и визуальный стиль создают гнетущую, но при этом уютную атмосферу. Нелинейность повествования и несколько концовок заставляют задуматься о принятых решениях. Однако, игра довольна короткая. Хотелось бы больше глубины в исследовании персонажей и их мотивов. Некоторые концовки кажутся обрывистыми. Тем не менее, за свою цену это отличный способ прочувствовать и осмыслить пережитый опыт пандемии. Рекомендую тем, кто ищет в играх не только развлечение, но и возможность для рефлексии.
[h1]Before I played Home: A Quarantine Story, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
