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

I will add the link when it uploads. It will (hopefully) have the bug fix included. For transferring saves on mac, right click on the application, select "show package contents", click drive_c, go to /ProgramFiles/Home/, and that is the directory for the files. Just copy the save files. Also, this mac build is smaller, and I removed the test saves from the download.

Do you have a tumblr? you're like a God send, or Thor send, or Zeus send. Depends on whichever deity suits you.

I'm BurningElsen on tumblr, but I haven't used tumblr much recently.
Thanks for the updated mac version, and wow, perfect spot to end the demo, question, will the new party leader choice change the ending at all?
I love this game, especially custom music and sprites, great job!
I'm stuck in zone 3 in the room with 5 switches and numbers 1 and 4 on the wall, i just can't figure it out, can you help?
add up the numbers on the switches to 14

Nope! Just the dialogue you get here and there, and who you walk around as. :D

you should use it more. :D communication on there will help me credit you for the mac version of HOME.
Gah, I created an account JUST to comment on this game.

First off, I have to say this: I love this game. OFF is one of my all-time favorite games, and when I saw that someone had created a fan-game, I just about died. What you have done is brilliant; even though it's non-cannon, it's still very immersive and keeps the same feel as the original game, for the most part. As someone had posted earlier on, it's the occupational hazard of writing fan-fiction. Only once or twice I noticed dialogue that The Judge might not say according to the original creator, but it's not too much of a big deal.

I've also noticed a few spelling/grammatical errors, but it's still just a beta.

I just finished the demo a few minutes ago, and wanted to cry. I've spent days on the game, and I didn't want the demo to end just yet, haha. I cannot wait until the full release. I will most definitely be looking forward to it!

p.s. The custom music and sprites are just so fabu by the way. Good God.

I have 12 text documents full of nothing but Typos. xD I've just lacked the motivation to sit down and fix them all. The Demo progress of this game isn't so much as a demo. It's just I release what I have to the public in short episodes, usually one zone at a time. The releases would end on a cliffhanger, just as this release did. It helps me stay motivated and working and its just a preferred method of production.

I'm really glad you liked the game's experience so far. It's almost near completion.
Found this game through tv tropes after Markiplier played through OFF and I was utterly entranced by it. Decided I had to make an account here just to comment.
I gotta say, you have done an outstanding job for a fan game, you really have, I'm in zone two right now and it's simply been a joy, from the wonderful sprites to the amazing music (Dedan's boss theme in particular was fantastic)
I hope by the time I get to the end of this adventure that you may be finished with the game, but by all means take your time, this experience has truly been marvelous, and thank you for providing a truly fantastic, non-canon sequel that lives up to the expectations OFF set.

That's really touching. I'm really glad you got into OFF through Mark, and loved it enough to pursuit after HOME.
Darn it all of the spinoffs are windows only. I guess i can't compare HOME to others but it is still great, when is the planned date for The Courtroom final release?

Sometime before the end of the year xD That's the best promise I can give.
