Return Home
A downloadable game
After a long day of traveling to and from the market, you arrive home with your son, Nicholai. As you finish preparing dinner, an unsettling feeling washes over you; something is amiss. The once familiar rhythm of home feels slightly off. Nicholai is unusually quiet, and the shadows in the room seem to stretch just a little too far. You call out to him, but there's no response.
The narrative explores themes of motherhood, sacrifice, identity, and redemption, all set against the backdrop of an eerie, magical fae world. As you embark on this emotional journey, you’ll face difficult choices and haunting revelations, all while trying to protect the one you hold most dear.
