Hooome

[Beware! The public beta versions are very early development releases and it is very likely you will encounter bugs and a serious lack of content. Also, further updates will likely require resetting the game. If you are not interested in play-testing please wait for the full release]

Hooome is a place to relax and explore. Take your little companion on an adventure to the big city to meet friends, work, and go shopping. Bring back tons of items to decorate your new house. But most of all take your time and enjoy the Hooome life!

While the gameplay is clean, progressive, and voluntarily not challenging, Hooome is rich in content such as decoration items, activities, shops, homes, and accessories. As well as a theoretically infinite set of procedural city streets to explore.

This game was born from an old revived Tamagotchi-like project and the inspiration from Nick Popovich's talk "Making Games That Stand Out and Survive" at GDC 2019 where he defines the notion of "home" in games. Of course, the concept is taken to the extreme in an attempt to recreate the nostalgia of the late 1990s and the early 2000s pet caring games but in a modernized mobile semi-idler social experience.
