Welcome HOME, dear puppeteer.

This world has been waiting some time for your arrival. The tables
of balance has been turned, and the fate of the world trusted
into a familiar face. The guardian of zone 0 himself, The Judge. Your job is to lead him on a new journey, masterful puppeteer.

This world is wrapped in an enigma, a shroud of confusion overlapped the
once peaceful zones. The true guardian of zone 0 himself has the very marrow
of his bones rattled with the feelings of Deja Vu. The day that he would become the marionette of the new world is coming, and upon your very arrival the world will undergo otherworldly changes.

Just what is going on in this world? Why has the switch been reset? Has The Judge forgotten everything that happened? Has the world been reversed to a state of pristine ignorance? Only you can find out, fateful puppeteer. You will travel the world, and meet the guardians you know so well. However, you will face enemies and foes unlike anything you've imagined. New allies will join your side, and new personalities will be explored. New places will be visited, a zone that defies the logic and reason of the world you know. Puzzles that expand beyond the game and into our world. You will become one with your puppet, and in your combined state you will bring the land to the closure it deserves. The fate, and the direction of that closure however, is up to the decisions you make. Choose wisely my friend, its up to you to save their HOME.

HOME is a non-canonical fangame created with the permission of Mortis Ghosts, the creator of OFF - the game from which HOME was inspired. You take control of The Judge in this project, and see the world through his eyes.



New characters and enemies are introduced in this story, with a combat system that's more threatening and challenging than OFF's style. HOME makes uses of the elements and status effect system and stretches is as far as possible. It's recommended you play Mortis Ghosts "OFF" before you touch this project, as this game and its entirety is connected and continued after OFF. Playing HOME without first playing OFF will not only lead to spoilers but will lead you to a path of confusion and detachment from the entire world.

The game features custom sprites, music, icons, sound effects, and battle animations. It uses as much fresh resources where and whenever possible.

In Memoriam

It is incredibly sad to have to break this news to those who may not know of it as yet, but the creator of this game, TheJudge, passed away recently.

As such we, the staff of RMN, are posting this blog informing all who knew him and enjoyed his games (both in the past and the future) of this tragedy.

Too soon we have lost another comrade to that final rest. May you remain forever in our hearts, Judge.


Rest in Peace

Hey Felix, great game, can't wait for the new update!
Just one question/concern.
Has anything been done about Luxurious Purr since 1.20?
If not, I think it's just a little overpowered. The healing is nearly unsurpassed, and CP is much less expensive than HP.
Otherwise, no concerns.
Thanks!

EDIT: Just to clarify, I have no way of checking currently.

all forms of healing are nerfed in one way or the other.
Luxurious Purr got hit the hardest.
with its base heal being dropped to 250 from 600.
Jozlyn lost the ability to revive.
Pablo's revive spells cost more.
They scale off of spirit less effectively.

There's also a hard combat mode being added as well.

Awesome! I think it will make the game a much more challenging and enjoyable experience. Thanks!
Hey Felix, I'm having a bit of trouble with the font of the game. For some reason, the intro messages and main menu read just fine, but any other text is replaced with a blocky text that's difficult to read. I don't know what the problem is because I've installed all of the fonts in the game's folder but the text still looks like this:




I might just be being an idiot but if you know anything then that would be very helpful. Thanks!

I recently found out about this issue. It's an issue with windows 10 not having MS Gothic installed. All future downloads will include MS Gothic, but for now http://www.fontpalace.com/font-download/MS%2BGothic/
download this. It will fix your font problems. :3
Accidentally posted this on the wrong page at first. Sorry about that.

Hey Judge, I'm not sure if this question has been asked already, but I'm having a problem with the up button in the game.

In the first parts of the game, like the name selection and such, the up key doesn't work, and once I actually get into the game, the Judge is constantly moving up even without me pressing the up button, making it impossible for me to move down at all.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to fix this, or?

Your register has you locked in the up state. Restarting your computer should fix it.

Try this. In the next version of HOME I shall be including a keyboard reset in the download as well to fix the keyboard stuck issue.
The new courtroom, picked alain as my new character to play, inspected every wall changed my computers clock to sunday, third of june, i can't figure out what to do. Get to what was Dedans hut in OFF and a poster says somthing like i must do what they can not, the escape key hides the secret. What do?

Open your inventory and use the grand item.
alrighty, i tried using a few, do i use it in the pure place or in the courtroom, and thanks for the speedy reply!
Hey Judge, enjoying the game so far but I've hit a snag: when I try to open the Treasure Chest zip file with the password given in-game, the image inside refuses to display. (I'm playing "A New Home Release Version 1.0.1", if that makes a difference.)

It sounds like you're extracting just the image itself. You need to extract the folder treasure chest to a separate folder and then "open" the treasure chest to see the image inside. I'm looking on a way to allow users to just extract the image but something happens during compression that doesn't allow that.
So, this might sound kinda dumb, but in this version of the game do we not get a choice in whether to spare the Guardians or not? I just want to make sure I'm not screwing myself over by missing something before I fight them.

You're welcome. Any other questions I'll be here.
Hello, So I have just finished playing the game today. It was amazing! Everything about the game was so immersive and I think this is one of the best OFF fangames I ever played so far. But I had several questions:
1) I collected all the mysterious coins from the purified zones but until the end of the game I still didn't know what they're for. What are those coins for?
2) I collected all of the months but I couldn't find March anywhere. Hints pls? :"-(
3) I can't find the dopefish's location in zone three, where is it? D-:
4) There's a computer in Zone 4 before purification and Zone 0 after purification that required a password. Is there any hint for that? I'm dying to know :-/

Thanks so much in advance! I am so going to replay this game when I had time because i'm not content knowing that I missed out on some things in my initial gameplay :-( There's gotta be a secret ending somewhere, like the one in OFF with aliens, right?

1: There is 6 coins, and you can only hand the coins to zacharie between courtroom chapters 2 and 5.
2: March is in the flesh maze tango.
Right before you go to Dedan. Head back into the flesh maze and go right. you'll find a room with a chest and the batter.
3: Dopefish in zone 3 is in Area 3. In the first room with 2 elsens. Move the chair out of the way and press the paperslip that was in front of it. A dopefish will hop out of the water.
4:The passwords should've been in a computer next to the one in zone 0. the passwords are the famous puppeteer names. they change the bonus boss you face that you can only face when you find all the dopefish.
No secret ending, there was but I removed it due to reasons.
