Story description

You are thirty, between jobs and back in your childhood bedroom. Your mother has already reorganized the fridge.

Moving Back Home is an interactive slice-of-life story about returning to a family home after a setback, and slowly starting again.

A family house

  • Share breakfast with a mother who has opinions and a brother who arrives with cake.
  • Walk an elderly dog, meet old friends who stayed and take a part-time job to pay the way.
  • Have the conversation you have been avoiding, and slowly rebuild a plan.

Marta cannot resist reorganizing a fridge. Lukas, your older brother, is steady and always brings something baked. Ginger, the retriever, treats you as returned property. Everyone else is different every time you play.

Warm, funny and tender

Kitchen light, soup and the comfort of being known. No plot, no villain.

The glow-in-the-dark stars are still on the ceiling. What do you do first?
