52 animations, enriching the visual experience
5,403 dialogue blocks, forming a deep narrative with 61,931 words
An estimated 5-hour read time, offering a significant immersion in the initial story
But we didnt stop there!
What We Added
With continuous development, we expanded the game time by more than 90 minutes, introducing new content focused on the main story. These improvements dive deeper into the mysteries of Norahs past and present, while Samanthas investigations uncover hidden connectionswith our hero at the center of it all.
1,700+ brand-new renders, crafted to bring emotional and detailed scenes to life

Behind the Creation

When I first envisioned Our Home, I wanted a strong narrative, with a clear path and a memorable ending. Become a writer and choosing 3D and storytelling was a massive challengeI lacked both the resources and experience at the beginning.
But over time, with incredible support from my wife, we turned this vision into reality. This prologue rework is the result of months of learning and dedication, and were proud to present it as the starting point of our journey on Steam.
