Go Home 1986

Go Home 1986 is a retro first-person maze game about navigating abstract, procedurally generated labyrinths under time pressure. You face no combat, enemies, map or guidance; instead, disorientation, the clock and the subtle sense that the system is observing you create the tension. The game is a short single-player experience designed for one or several focused sessions.

Navigate the labyrinths

The game has 20 increasingly demanding levels, with new maze layouts on each run. You must complete each level before its strict timer runs out. Optional system assistance can help with navigation, but using it consumes time. In certain areas, environmental interference alters your controls, perception or movement.

Retro presentation

The minimalist presentation draws on the aesthetics and technical limitations of 1980s PC games. Sparse 8-bit music and system sounds reinforce the isolation and mechanical tone, while the world feels empty and distant.

Score and rank

Your performance is evaluated at the end, followed by a full end sequence.
