A compact but deep indie RPG that wraps players in a story where every choice feels personal. Despite its short length, players are calling for sequels after beating it in a single sitting.

What it's about: Sweet Home is a visual novel set in a Chinese high school. Parted friendships, ambiguous romances, tangled relationships, and flawed families... Are these just the pangs of adolescence—or something heavier? Step into the shoes of Zhao Ying, shape her choices, and uncover every possible path.

« 该怎么说,里面有些人和事不是亲身经历也在身边挺近的地方见过或是发生过,即使是放火这种事情……对个人而言还挺有说服力的,很多想法也能同频。不过有些角色还是收尾得太仓促了打完有点莫名,其他剧情仁者见仁吧。美术强过很多同类型了 »
