DON’T
COME HOME

Every night, someone knocks.
You decide who gets to be real.

FREE FIRST-EVENING DEMO / V0.2
Full game planned for Steam. Release date unannounced.

01 / THE PLACE YOU KNOW

The kettle is warm.
Mum isn’t here.

You return to the apartment you grew up in. Your mother has left a message. The building papers don’t quite agree with what you remember.

Then someone knocks. She knows your mother. She has a pan of potatoes. She says she lives next door.

Check the records. Listen through the door. Decide what counts as proof.
