Homecoming Haven
IMPORTANT NOTE
The browser version can crash sometimes so downloading is highly recommended!
You found an old memory card of someone else's game where they carefully and lovingly built their dream town... only to never show up again.
Ever wondered what happens to your NPCs and towns while you were away for many years? Have you ever been scolded by them when you were back?
Explore nostalgic memories left by the old residents and see what you can do to give this place some closure. Homecoming Haven is a short and bittersweet experience.

animal crossing much
uhhh
help my game crash on loading screen when i was supposed to go in the house like nothing moving and the mouse wont move and the audio kick out
hi I love the little bit I've seen so far, but it keeps freezing up. I don't know how to play it after I download it. Help!
Sorry about the web version! For the downloaded file you have to extract it with right click > Extract All and inside the folder double click the file with the capibara icon! Let me know if you need more help.
This is a fun little concept! I'd love to see it expanded with some more characters or depth - sometimes the tone or pacing felt rushed but in a game this tiny it of course isn't a big deal. Some other things I'd love to see is some sort of intro character instead of a black screen and maybe character portraits or more hints of what the OG Player was doing, or what happened to them. Love this little gem, hope to see more from you!
Super cute game! I was confused about the pipe at first, but soon figured it out. I would love a longer version of this game where you repair everything on the island and try to bring back the villagers.
I tried to play this in browser and it kept freezing whenever I tried to enter the house, it took me to the loading screen and then just froze, I tried two differant times and even just sat and waited but the music cut off when it started loading, the game I did get to play was lovely though!
This game rocks! My closest friend entrusted me with his copy of animal crossing when i moved away. I enjoyed it so much because of the memories of playing side by side, and eventually building my own town. I put it down for a few years and the cartridge rotted to the point that it couldnt be opened anymore. I hope my villagers are resting in peace somewhere with grampa capipara :(
Aww this warms my heart! Actually I got inspired to make this for similar reasons, it was because I also opened animal crossing after many years and the villagers all complained I disappeared hehe. I hope your villagers and grandpa capibara are doing well!
Thank you so much for playing and for the review! I'm really glad Little Biscuit enjoyed it! <3
wheres the cut pipe :(
Hint: You have to cut it from a bigger pipe found in the village.

Use the pliers to cut the big pipe at the front of the station.
As someone who gets ridiculously attached to her video game characters, playing the game was equally heart-breaking as it was wholesome. I am happy to give little Grandpa peace :'>
<33
Idk why but i'm the same way. I play Animal Crossing and it absolutly breaks my heart when a villager is like "Where've you been?"
i would love to download and play this game but I'm on a mac :*)
the browser version keeps freezing up on me. what i played so far was lovely though
I'm so sorry :´( I wanted to release a mac version from the start but there was no way I could test it. But I decided to try making a mac build now! It could be very buggy though, so let me know if you try it!
ok i recorded my screen when I was testing it and...
｡･ﾟﾟ･(> 0 <)･ﾟﾟ･｡ thought you'd wanna know
yes thank you! I'll investigate!
I LOVE IT! It gives me major Animal Crossing vibes! 10/10 would play again! Totally recomend
Thank you! AC was a big inspiration <3
Berry you have such magic colour sense! I love all the holographic sticker style and waddling around this little world ✨
Thank you so much!! I'm happy you like the colours 🌈
Oh, what a bittersweet but slightly happy experience it was.
After I finished playing, the feeling of playing was quite sad, and I couldn't help but read about Grandpa Capipara with a shout.
Also, this light pastel-colored world was very nice and fun!
I'm so happy to see your video! Thank you for trying this game too!
I'm sorry about the debug bug 😅 I released a patch to fix it. Thank you for showing me!
The last line from Grandpa Capipara still sticks in my mind!
Thank you for the good work Nya~!
I will be playing this via download in the future when I'm able to, however for now I thought I might share an error that occurs when playing the embedded version - I got this while walking into the house when it was first opened, after getting the pipe and rocks for the fountain. https://pastebin.com/L1L66h5B
Thank you for sharing! And I'm sorry it happened :(
The web build was a headache from the start but I'll look into it. I hope you can try the downloadable version soon as it's more stable!
