Description
A Home Between Us is a slice-of-life visual novel and survival simulator about Riku, a young adult who spent his entire youth sacrificing his own future to raise his younger sisters. Now alone in a cramped apartment with nothing but dead-end jobs and the struggle to survive another day, Riku's routine existence is disrupted when he encounters a NEET who changes everything.
The game emphasizes a raw, grinding survival loop: managing hunger, energy, mental health, and hygiene through a full 24-hour day cycle. You work soul-draining part-time jobs, shop for food, visit locations like the park, beach, pharmacy, and hospital, and maintain your apartment while tracking decay and handling mandatory rent payments. Stats constantly decay, and failure to manage them leads to collapse and game-over states.
Currently in early access (version 0.3.7a), the game focuses on sandbox and adventure mechanics with a slow-burn narrative. Adult content is planned for future updates but not yet present. The tone is introspective and melancholic—a study of how a person survives when hope feels distant.
