Homeward

It is time to start the journey back home. Pack your bag carefully and set out to face whatever adventures await along the way.

Homeward is a short text-based adventure game, where you have to manage a small inventory. What will you throw away and what will you keep for later?

  • A choose-your-own-adventure-like story
  • Limited inventory size
  • Decide which items you can use now, and which you need to keep for later
  • Learn where to get which items by replaying. Can you collect the most valuable set of items at the end?

This game was made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 54. The theme was 'limited space'.

Good game! Seems like there’s a lot of replayability for only a 48h game

Nice one

This is a cool game.

At first I had to guess the value, shape of items, as well as how difficult they'd be to dispose of. With each run, I learned more of these nuances, which made replaying much more interesting. Perhaps there could be a bit more randomness though?

Nice art btw.

Good luck with Ludum Dare! Hope you keep working on the idea!
