Home Alone

Home Alone is a small indie horror game created for a game development competition. It starts with a familiar situation: a boy named Jackson is left alone at home while his parents go out for dinner. At first, everything feels normal—just a simple evening with a list of chores to complete. But as the night progresses, strange events begin to unfold, turning an ordinary home into a place of fear and uncertainty.

HOME ALONE - WHEN EVERYDAY CHORES TURN INTO A NIGHTMARE

In Home Alone, players begin in Jackson’s bedroom before heading to the kitchen, where a task list is waiting on the counter. The objectives seem harmless at first, including reheating pizza, watering plants, cleaning the kitchen, and doing laundry. However, as the player completes each task, subtle horror elements begin to appear—unexplained noises, strange movement outside, and an unsettling feeling that something is watching.

The tension escalates when the environment becomes unsafe, leading to a sudden breakdown of normality. The house is no longer just a home, but a space filled with danger, forcing the player to run, hide, and escape as the situation spirals into chaos.
