A unique and traditional atmosphere gives way to repetition in this competent but limited fright-fest.
While Home Sweet Home doesn't bring anything new to the table for first person horror puzzlers, it does stand out with the inclusion of Thai horror folklore which is truly terrifying. It's let down with a couple of bugs but it's not a bad way to spend a few hours.
It looks and feels so similar to other horror games and it can't reach the level of quality they have. It offers some quality scares, tough.
With a longevity of about five hours, Home Sweet Home is to be described as nothing more than a luna park attraction, but keep in mind that it fails to introduce noteworthy novelties to the genre, appearing at times like a blatantly incomplete game.
