ONCE HOME

About the Game

Once Home is an interactive 3D horror visual novel of slow dread and haunting beauty. You explore the Hemm residence at your own pace — observing, hovering, and uncovering traces of what has quietly altered the family and the place they once called home.

Burl and Eunice built this house with love — a refuge for their son Orin, his wife Hazel, and their child Rulon. For years, it was where the family came to feel whole again.

But something unseen lingers — patient, consuming, reshaping everything it touches. The air remembers. The rooms breathe. And the warmth that once filled this home now stirs with something unknown.

The deeper you step into the Hemm house, the more it asks of you — to feel, to face, to go further than you thought you would.
