Sophie is a young girl staying home during COVID-19. Isolated from her friends, she must use her colorful imagination to entertain herself.

Play make-believe minigames to brighten up your mood and stave off the boredom!

~~

Homebound is a short game which began as an entry for the 34th GM48 game jam in collaboration with Giraffe. After the jam, I decided to rebuild the game, fleshing it out and polishing it up. I hope that this short game can bring you some joy! Thank you for playing, and stay safe.

Well made game! Only complaint is the instructions of the minigames & timing. It only gives a few seconds to figure out what you need to do. Failed the jungle minigames 4 times because of it. Otherwise loved it!

It's amazing how much art and gameplay is crammed into so short a time, and almost all of it very easy to understand!

this is so good!! the minigames were really fun and cute, and the music and sound design were great too, but i think what i really love is the look of the game--the colors, the textures, even the design of the interface elements and the textboxes. i just thought it all worked together really well :) great work!

Thank you so much!! Delighted to hear it :)

Incredibly polished and really fun and calming! Really well done to make each mini-game simple to understand without any additional help / instructions, it makes it super fun and easy to pickup and play! I had a great time with this, good job! :)

Thank you so much! Intuitiveness was a top priority, so I'm very glad to hear it. Thank you for playing!

Hey just to let you know, for me atleast the download link isn't working.

Strange, I heard someone else say so as well. The link seems to be working fine for me. Are you able to download other games, or have you tried alternate download mode?

i think they might mean on the itch app? you've gotta select "windows" for the download on your game edit page :o

Ah, thank you! I figured out it was an issue in the app, but never figured out how to fix it. Should be all good now!
