Home is a psychological horror game that begins with a man waking up in a strange house, disoriented and missing most of his belongings. He has a feeling that he should be going home, but the exact circumstances are unclear.
The gameplay revolves around exploration and piecing together the story through environmental clues and text descriptions. The player controls the character with a flashlight, which can be moved left or right, as well as shone upward to reveal more of the environment. Interaction is limited to a single key/button press, which provides a text description or a 'Yes/No' choice for engaging with objects or the environment.
