This is not a Game. I do not recommend it because theres no fun and nothing to do. The main part is just walking around for triggering scripts that drives the story but a major problem with that is you have to trigger a script to get a key for a shed. The key is inside a drawer but unfortunately the drawer will only appear as usable when the script is triggered. This might be magic, because usally i can open anything and do not have to trigger a script. The graphics are realy poor and more the models, nothing fancy. It is just to ugly for exploring but no problem, there is nothing to explore, just a tiny piece of Land sourrounded by invisible walls. And do not expect more than 30 Minutes of "gameplay". Poor. So so poor!

' ' Home is where one starts ' ' tells a Story of a little Girl wlches, and so you fall into the Story that Bus has missed. As she roams through the area, she recounts Flashbacks. + The Game is a testament to pure Atmaosphemisphere that puts us in the Game right away! + The Graphics are very handsome and incredible for a meagre 50ct. -It's a little short ... A ' ' pass can take between 10-30 minutes. But this is also justified since the Game is a One-man Project. Conclusion: Why hasn't this Game received more Attention? The Atmosphere is incredible and the Music is also very engaging. For a dune 50ct, you dished out a Masterpiece Of the Short Story here. You Can't use 50ct on Steam any better.

Home is Where One Starts Is a small indie game by Developer David Wehle. To the Plot: A little Girl from a shattered Childhood Home misses her School Bus one Day. After that, it roams through the home environment without a fixed Plan, discovering various things that evoke some Emotions and Memories. Go to the Graphic: You play from a First-person perspective. The Graphics are of course not like a brand new AAA title, but still nice to look at – Light set And the various Natural Elements are particularly successful. To Sound: The Music underlines the melancholy Character of the Game, the Soundscape outdoors sounds enchanting. The more rarely seen Language Sections are just as good. Nice Work. For Control: This is very simple and kept without unnecessary Frills. Jumping and Racing is not possible, but it is not necessary for the Game. As far as atmosphere is Concerned: Home is Where One Starts puts its entire Emphasis on the Atmosphere – accordingly, it is very good. Melancholy and hopeful. Conclusion: The Game is a successful indie project, which is very short at the same time. It is possible to play Home is Where One Starts and all Achievements in about 15 Minutes – but most will still need a lot more. The Reason for this is that the Objects to be found are usually quite small and scattered over a large Radius – so you can't achieve anything with a hectic Style of play. In the End, however, it will not be more than 2 hours. Those who do not master English, do not have Time to stop or look for seemingly inconspicuous Things should leave their Fingers off it.
