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

When you're HOME OFF work?

sneakydevil
u nerd. So, did you personally play/enjoy HOME yourself?
I haven't yet. I stumbled upon the comment before mine in Latest Posts and saw your post and figured it almost had to be intentional and if not I would point it out. xD

It's definitely something I might try soon, but I've been on a kick to play games that have no exposure/unrated and give them reviews/feedback. You seem to be doing pretty well for yourself :P
But perhaps, casually I'll pick this up sometime!


Review it if you want, but when/if you get around to playing it let me know if you find any hiccups so I can fix them, and if you ever get stuck on any puzzles I'm always reachable. :3

Thanks for the quick reply! If those locations are correct then I'm certain I got all the dopefish. I have both computers and I've entered all the passwords, but apart from choosing Yes to accept them, nothing happens. I've looked all over zone 0 and there are no hidden staircases for me. Maybe it's a stupid question, but could it have something to do with me having already unlocked the courtroom?

EDIT: I got the image with the hidden dopefish in the Good End, so I'm assuming I've found them all, but still no staircase.
what version of HOME are you playing if I might ask.
Also, that dopefish at the good end appears just if you find the dopefish in zone 0. It's not a clear indicator that you found them all. I should've fixed that to be clearer.
Ahh I see, so it's just for the zone 0 dopefish. I'm playing the 1.0.2 version currently, on PC & I'm playing 'normal' mode.
okay, we found the issue. I'll upload the fix wqhen I'm home off work
Oh, that's great news! I thought I'd just somehow managed to mess up on getting the stairs :') It hasn't made HOME any less enjoyable for me but of course I'm super curious to see what the stairs lead to. Thanks so much for keeping me (us?) up to date, it's been a huge help (as well as your previous posts!).

HOME updated now :3

All fixed now! Thanks a bunch! :D

I'm wondering if Control Problems are common. I started up the game, got to the name selection. I couldn't use the left arrow. I pushed it off as a control error on my part, and left it at that. Then I went to control the character. It was in a constant state of motion towards the left, and I couldn't get it to stop. I was wondering if there was any way to fix it. Is it my mouse that's causing the problem? I am playing on a laptop...

EDIT: I found the kbdreset.exe file... I think that helped! I should have checked before commenting.

yeah thats what the keyboard reset is for. The key getting stuck to the left is a common error. I decided to include a program to fix it for convenience. :D

Rip servers. My answer was deleted. But yeah. 578 is answer.
Hello. I absolutely love this game but I'm kind of stuck. I'm on hard puzzle mode and I'm in the courtroom at the point where the three cats are looking for the judge and the area is all white. I tried to use my Grand Finale but it says "A mysterious force prevents this item from being used" no matter where in the white rooms I try to use it. What should I do?

Go to the north of the room. a transparent Judge should be sitting there.

Thanks for the quick answer. Though I can't seem to find the transparent Judge. Is there something I have to do to trigger him or something after I read the sign? Or did my game just mess up?

what white area are you at? have you already talked to the 3 guardians? Are you at the 3 way path where you can go north, west or east? In those locations, you have to use the correct "Grand" item for each guardian.

My last save point is right at where you choose your new leader and take control of the three cats after judge is gone.

Okay. Well, you're in the white area where you have 3 paths you can go right? North, East, and West? After going through a long hallwAY that had plague doctor encounters? You have to use different grand items in those rooms. Figure out which ones you need to use.

it works! thanks mr judge. and now finaly i can end this game.
I'm loving this game so far, but I'm currently at a loss for what to do next. I just got the Grand Finale and am not sure where to go...? I've visited every zone again but haven't found anything new, and I can't seem to use any of the Grand objects. What should I do??

Visit zone 4. Inspect the strange wall on the left of the zone.
How do I get the option to convince Dedan to escape? I can defeat him, but the Judge just gives up. I remember saving him before...
