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

Is the game complete, TheJudge?
Or you will add some more things to it?
I only ask to know if I download it now, or have to wait until it's finished completely :)

It's finished 100%. But if you want the most fresh experience from the very start you should wait until the next update.
hey, if you give me some tips, it would be greatly appreciated.I'm stuck in the zone 4...

Which part?

I have videos for two of the harder puzzles in the zone 4.
Your work is absolutely outstanding, I've been here since before the game was even finished, and I have played a little bit, but I know I need to wait til you get finished with all these polish updates and replay from the beginning.
You really did an amazing job with keeping the style as well as adding in cool new things.
The boss battle music in particular is fantastic.

I'm glad you like what you've seen so far. <3
It's been a long and rather rough project to work on but I managed to make it to the finish line.

Hi, TheJudge.
I apologise in advance for the long post.
This is the first time I'm commenting here.
I'm writing a review for this fantastic game as I comment here so please don't take it that I just posted here to complain. I really like this game and that's why I'm taking the time to comment. (Already giving it a 4.5/5 in my review!)
The version I have was uploaded on 2014-11-17 so before you even continue reading, please let me know if I've missed a newer version.
I know you mentioned a new version coming soon but I thought I'd mention this before you release that one.

So I encountered a couple bugs that I thought I should mention:
SPOILERS!!!
Most notably, the fact that there's a third hidden option on the battle screen under Engage and Auto. It occasionally made me flee when I tried it but strangely, it doesn't do anything most of the time.
Another random one: In Zone 4 after you defeat the General for the first time, you're able to walk through one of the dark windows in the next red area. I don't think it breaks anything or leads to any new areas but it's there.
Then, thirdly, the reason that I'm actually writing this post is because I'm stuck in Zone 2 (purified) where I'm supposed to put in a code at the bookshelf to obtain a key. In my game, the arrangement of the chairs do not form a proper number and I thought this was part of the puzzle until I saw a video where the answer was clearly shown in the chair grouping. I tried that number anyway and it doesn't work in my game. Perhaps you've changed the puzzle in an update? because honestly, I cannot figure it out.
END OF SPOILERS
Hope you respond soon!
Thank you so much for you and the team's hard work on this game. I can't wait to complete my playthrough.

A lot of these bugs and issues sounds strange. Also, in
Pure Zone 2, the answer to that puzzle changes if you're on hard puzzle mode. If you're on hard puzzle mode.
The solution to that puzzle is
each section of chairs adds up to the number

like that. And that's the solution to the puzzle there.
If you're still having issues after that. I can Private Message you the direct solution. :3 I'm gonna open RPG Maker and look for the window thing you mentioned earlier.

I feel like a celebrity is talking to me :D


A) I thought one of the windows might be a secret because they looked suspicious.
B) Sigh... I feel quite dumb for not thinking of that.. I don't remember choosing hard puzzle mode but okay. I'm sorry, I assumed it was a bug and I stopped trying because I saw the solution when I was stuck. Also, to be honest, without knowing the actual number formation of the groups of chairs, I didn't know that the chairs were in three separate groups. It looks like a bunch of groups. But I see that there are three grey floor sections so that should have occurred to me.
Thank you so much for the quick reply :)I'll get back to it right now!
I just downloaded the game (a few hours ago?) and start playing it...
this is wayyyy harder than OFF ...
and I am stuck at the library part, where there's sets of cards, saying there's a card game call 21?
...I have no idea how to solve it, I tried various combination and thinking how to play the card game... nothing. _(:4J_Z)_

Each corner needs to each a value of 21.
Add up the number on the bookshelf of each corner, then pick 1 card that would get you a value of 21.

For example. King and Queen are both worth 10. You would then need to pick a 1 card to get 21. :3
Just finished the game :)
Amazing!
I loved the depiction of the final boss and even the last few conversations and the pictures :)
Thank you for the awesome time I had.

My only regret is not finding the Smoke Image. :( I assume there's a secret ending for that just like in OFF?

Status report.
I had been playing the game since I wake up, been playing it from 12pm until now 3am.
And yea in the end I manage to solve the 21cards thing.
and after 15 hours of playing I am only at
-spoiler alert-
pure zone 3
stuck, no idea how to find the passcode for the computer looking thing...

and theJudge, there's an error in zone 3, where the password hint *<{% definitely not correspond to the correct password.

also in zone...3? (can't really remember, where the shiny dot lead you to show you your puzzle way to pass, the light didn't finish, it disappeared at the last part of it (not a big deal tho)
-end of spoiler-

Well the game is quite good, just need to solve this passcode and move on finish it..
judging from the walkthrough (I only watch it when I am stuck, but that one is an older version, many passwords are different) I still got at least 4 hours long gameplay to go. _(:4

Concerning Zone 3. you're right. The pass-code read as HONE when the correct answer is HOME. I fixed it now. The passcode for the computer is in the fuse box on the left. Reading that will pull up a puzzle picture. Each square represents a number.
This game is fantastic to me, but at the same time so hard to me. So here, I'm stuck in pure Zone 4 while searching the last card(i dont know what they are for, but if I find them, they are needed, right?) Where i can found it? (sorry my bad english plz)
