Our Home 1.1

Our Home is a visual novel game with a whole lot of text, you play the role of Emily a young presumably lesbian girl in her final years of high school as her family starts to unravel in front of her, with her father nearly always absent, her mother who is obsessive and compulsive and her brother who it is speculated has fallen in with a bad crowd and turned to drugs.

The only people that Emily can find comfort in is her cute little sister Maria and her best friend Lauren although we often slip in to Emily’s dreams in which she has a perfect family life and is in a loving relationship with a beautiful girl.

It’s unusual for visual novels to cover such a wide range of deep topics and Our Home tries to do exactly that however at points it seems to miss the mark and after a while the text can seem rather mundane and gets bogged down reiterating points that have already been covered and probably don’t need to go over again and after a few days in the life of Emily you start to yearn for some kind of incredible revelation or astounding story line although if you’re a fan of VN’s with lots and lots of text which are also completely free you will probably enjoy this just don’t expect the story to move at a particularly quick pace.
