I just deactivated the tv and the heater, I am currently stuck on what to do about the fridge.
Reviews for "Home *BLEEP* Home"
Got the TV and heater, stuck on the rest. (Update. Got the fridge too!)
The only downside I can think of is the music, it's kinda droning and harsh. The puzzles were cute though!
One bug though: when you beat the game, moving into the bedroom also takes you to the credits.
Also, wouldn't it be the air conditioner working too hard if I'm putting on all those sweaters?
A simple and short point and click, but that I particularly appreciate!
-----------------
I'm going to spoil, so for everything that haven't started and finished the game yet, don't continue reading, it would be stupid to waste a cool little experience, and it's short too, there's no reason not to do it.
-----------------
The fact of being left to ourselves, and finding by chance an interaction with the environment, for me it was the sweaters, and seeing the reaction right next to the radiator is particularly satisfying, because we have the impression of discovering the goal of the game by experimenting on our own without having to be taken by the hand! I don't know if this was intentional or not, but it's just a very satisfying feeling!
Also, this sickly and sad blue characters, this music that sets the mood quickly enough plunges us into this futuristic universe rather depressing but nevertheless captivating (The music really plays there, congratulations to Phil! The music in the ending credits is really anxious and scary.... And I like anxious and anxious music) and makes us empathic with the "hero".
Moreover, the limited interactivity that some people show as a defect is for me just as great, it supports even more through the gameplay the monotonous and dirigiste life that the "hero", who is not free, even to have activities other than watching TV, eating and sleeping.
The puzzles are quite simple and logical, since the interactions are limited, we find the interactive elements quite quickly... Even if it took me a while to find the riddle in the fridge, I would have appreciated a little more chalenge... But I'm fidgeting, and I think it would even hurt the game experience if I did that.
Even its short duration is not a problem, because it's really well dosed, I really feel like the game is over when it's needed.
In short, I really enjoyed the game a lot, and hope to see more like this one !

I'm glad you enjoyed the radiator puzzle. We were debating to make it simpler because it was a big pain to implement, but pushed through at the end.
Phil just started a Newgrounds account: https://cheesymoo.newgrounds.com/. Hopefully more things to come!
good?
