Be an old man in Home!

Ever wonder what it’s like to be an old man? LOL ME NEITHER! And, since growing old is so 1900s, I need a way to conveniently experience what my forefathers did in their declining years. Thanks to Increpare, that experience is now less than a megabyte away.

In Home, you live the life of an old man shuffling back and forth in his home. Four bars at the top of the screen show your basic needs: happiness, sleep, eating food, and releasing the digested remains of food into the proper receptacle. As you slowly walk around, stop at each station to refill these bars. If you don’t, what happens? You’ll have to find out. A short game that takes a second to download, a minute or two to play, but supplies several mildly poignant emotional moments that are definitely worth experiencing.
