When i was Young, i was a passionate Gamer (I still am).
Playing hour after hour, diving into new Worlds, forgetting about Problems, just a short Time.
I was always dreaming of making my own Game but in that Times we didn´t have the Tools for it.
So, it stayed a Dream, because later, there wasn´t time for it because i went to Storywriting.
Today it is much easier.
And here we are.
This is the first Game of a young Gamer, who made his Dream come true.

Welcome to BACK TO HOME!

BACK TO HOME is telling the Story of a Cat wanting to get Home.
Beeing taken away from her owner, the Cat goes on a short but nice Journey.
Guide the Cat trough different very nice Areas.

BACK TO HOME is an Animal Plattformer with little Puzzle Elements and a nice little Story.
It reminds me of THE LAST TREE.
On your Way you will find Radios that will tell you from your Past.
A short but touching Story.
Find also out about the Light that guides you.
Try to reach the End of your Journey.

BACK TO HOME has very nice Graphics showing a beautifull World.
The Levels are linear but there is much to discover.
There is also a really amazing Soundtrack that fits in perfectly.
Very nice done.

Your Cat can walk, run and jump.
The Animation is fluid but a little bit slow and the Cat looks a little bit like a Plush Cat but cute.
I like it, because it is something new after all the Cats i saw in so many other Games.
The whole Game is very relaxing and i took my time to explore the different Areas.
The Plattforms are not that Hard, but sometimes the Cat feels a little bit clunky
and a little bit slow. But i did it.

Yes, the Game has Bugs, but not Gamebreaking.
I reported a few and the Developer removed them fast.
Thanks for it. :-)

So, what can i say?
BACK TO HOME is a very nice Game and i enjoyed every Moment with it.
It is not perfect, it really isn´t, but thats okay.
Keep in Mind that this is the First Game of a Young 15 Year old Developer.
I have the greatest Respect for what he created here in his free Time.
He had the Tools i didn´t have many Years before and made his Dream come true.
Thanks for that nice Experience and i wish you all the best for your next Games.
So, dear Reader, if you like Games like THE LAST TREE, then this is for you.

Thank you for reading. :-)
