Hi there
How come nobody talks about "homesick" the game? A lovely simple little game and with a bit of horror. Nice decor like urban decay and some poetic view also.I am no good in writing review but maybe somebody could try his or her hand on it.

I announced it here.

If you change your mind on writing a review or anyone else, they should be posted in the Review Forum. thanks

Glad you enjoyed it!

I agree with you cyanne, Homesick is a beautiful game and I enjoyed playing it. There was a strong sense of immersion and mystery throughout the game, and the high-res graphics were so good that sometimes I explored more than I had to, just to admire the space. I've never seen sunlight look so 3D and realistic in a game. Also enjoyed the piano soundtrack, the puzzles and the exploration. I didn't enjoy night time as much, but it was thrilling at times, especially when you were able to accomplish something.

I have a tendency to get dizzy from 3-D games. I'm wondering whether anyone with this problem has played Homesick.

There's a YouTube of the early part of the game.

See if watching that makes you sick.

Thanks Jenny. I tried it out. The motion is typical of keyboard/Mouse FPS games that I never used to have a problem with, but sure do now. The player in the video is jerking things around quite a bit and pretty fast and that certainly started to give me the beginnings of motion sickness. Maybe it would be better if the motion was slower-so hard to tell.

What do you think. Did it bother you at all?

Yes, at least watching the video did. But FPS-type movement has always given me nausea (motion sickness or simulation sickness or whatever you call it). I just get it a lot faster now.

The forward movement isn't that fast, but the sideways movement tends to jerk in the videos I saw.

I couldn't find a demo for the game, but there are other trailers and gameplay examples on YouTube.

I've just played the first scene and the graphics are lovely. I'm not a big fan of keyboard movement though.
