Almost Home challenges you to survive and explore diverse environments as a team of up to four players. Uncover secrets and face unexpected dangers in this action-packed, indie adventure from Oyen & Umi Games.
About this game
Gather your friends and begin the long journey home. Along the way, you'll cross haunted islands, endless deserts, evil bosses, and places no traveler should ever enter.
Every stop has its own rules to uncover, objectives to complete, creatures to understand, and dangers to survive. Figure out how the place works, gather what you need, and work together to make it through.
One bad decision can put the whole expedition at risk.
One lucky discovery can save it.
And every journey home becomes another story you'll tell around the campfire.
TAKE ON EVERY CHALLENGE
Explore unfamiliar places, uncover their secrets, learn how they work, and overcome the challenges that stand in your way. A peaceful island might hide something beneath the surface, while the rules that kept you alive in one biome may be completely useless in the next.
SURVIVE THE JOURNEY
Fish, forage, and make use of whatever you find along the way. A quiet moment by the water might be exactly what your team needs before things go terribly wrong.
RECEIVE THE CAT GOD'S BLESSINGS
Harvest Anima during your expeditions and offer it at ancient shrines to receive the Cat God's Blessings.
Unlock permanent upgrades, powerful abilities, and new synergies that open up new ways for your group to survive future journeys home.
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
Knowing how a place works doesn't mean you know what will happen.
Randomized events, hidden secrets, changing objectives, dynamic weather, and unexpected encounters keep every expedition unpredictable.
Learn from your mistakes.
Prepare for what you can.
Improvise when everything goes wrong.
FEATURES

Proximity voice chat

Procedural design for replayability
Dynamic disasters and escalating threats

Lobby & Fishing Update
Hey everyone,for this update, I finally took the time to give the lobby some much-needed love. It should now feel more like a place to hang out, regroup, and mess around with friends before heading into a run.One of the biggest new additions is fishing, which you can try right in the lobby without any pressure. Cast your bobber, wait for a bite, and see what you can pull out of the water while hanging out together.Fishing is still a feature I’ll keep expanding over time, but the first version is now in: timing feedback, a small minigame, rewards, and a few surprises.There are also a bunch of fixes and polish changes in this update, especially around item spawning, throwing, physics behavior, and the general feel of interacting with items.Thanks for testing, giving feedback, and following development. I hope the new lobby makes the game feel a little warmer before the journey starts.See you in the next update!Read full article on Community Announcements (ShoXx)AnnouncementsOfficial
