Sweet Home

Sweet Home is a visual novel about Ying, a high school student in a small town in 2018. On a cold day during winter break, she skips class to get away from tension at home. A chance encounter with a puppy and a series of unexpected connections begin to change her familiar but suffocating life.

Story and characters

Ying’s life is shaped by the people around her: a bright, straightforward best friend, a mysterious and brooding classmate, and a strange presence lurking in her neighborhood. Her story also involves a nosy teacher, a boy who falls in love at first sight, a tough, queen-bee type in her dormitory, and her family.

Choices and routes

Your choices shape Ying’s high school life and can build or break relationships with three key characters. The game has three main story routes and one secret route, with hidden paths to unlock and 12 branching endings.

Story content

The game contains over 200,000 words of text, 40 hand-drawn backgrounds, 50 CG illustrations and nearly 1,000 character sprite variations.
