About Homebound
Homebound is a short 2D puzzle platformer about an astronaut tasked with finding humanity a new home. On an abandoned, desolate planet, you play as both the astronaut and a cat as they make their way through deserted buildings and arid wasteland, investigating why the inhabitants are missing and exploring what it means to leave home and find a new one.
Solve puzzles together
You manipulate the environment and use the astronaut’s and cat’s distinct qualities to solve puzzles. Across five levels, the game introduces new mechanics and puzzles of increasing complexity.
The planet and its story
Hand-drawn pixel graphics give the planet a simple, nostalgic aesthetic. As you explore, you uncover the mystery of the missing civilization and the legacy it left behind. An original soundtrack by William Watson accompanies exploration and puzzle-solving with the cat. The experience is intended to last 30–90 minutes.
