Staying at Home

Editorial Worth it

Staying at Home is a character-driven adult VN with polished visuals and branching routes (love, NTR, sharing) that let players shape their relationship dynamics with Alice and others. Community feedback is enthusiastic about the art, animations, and premise, with particular praise for realistic character designs and the Portuguese translation. However, significant friction exists around the game's core mechanics: the NTR/sharing system, while avoidable in theory, is so central to story progression that choosing the pure-love route locks out roughly 80% of content, leaving players feeling the "avoidable" label is misleading. The jealousy stat system has also drawn criticism for being overly rigid and harsh, requiring near-perfect decision alignment to achieve low-jealousy outcomes. Recent updates (Ch. 4 Part 1) show the developer actively engaging with feedback and fixing reported bugs, suggesting ongoing polish and attention to balance.
