Back Home [v0.4.p4.3] [Caramba Games]

June 27, 2024F95

Your holiday at the beach was the most boring week of your life. All you want is to get back home. Then, on your last evening, you meet Jacky. She happens to live in the same town as you, and she will be on the same flight back home as you, the next morning. You may think that meeting Jacky is the start of an adventure. But missing that flight and being separated from her, is the start of an even bigger one.

Back Home will be a road movie. On your journey you will meet girls and women. They all have their own story. Some will help you to get back home, some will bring you further away from it. There’s a bit of mystery in it, too. Back Home a story driven game, where you don’t have to read long pages of text without the image ever changing. I believe in “show, don’t tell”. The characters are all unique, because I’ve created them myself.

To get back home, you need to stay focused. But if you don’t look around you, you won’t get anywhere.

v0.4.p4.3

Episode 12 covers the fourth part of the fourth day of your voyage back home, hence the serial number 0.4.p4.x of this release. It contains the full story from the beginning up to episode 12. It’s available for PC and Mac. I haven’t tested the Mac version though.

This release is the end of season 1. There will be a second, final season. Development of it has started already. To play the final season, keeping all the choices you made in season one, it is adamant that you save your game by the end of the episode. You will get a notification for that. You can load this saved game into the second season.

A preview version of the first part of episode 12 has been released earlier on Patreon only. Saves made in this preview release should work if you only want to see the rest of episode 12. If not, please let me know.

Episode 12 contains 945 new images and 62 new animations. Some old images and animations in previous episodes have been freshened up. You probably won’t notice the difference, but I do.

There are three different routes to play the story of episode 12. Well, actually four. You can focus on Giulia, Victoria, or Elena. The fourth one is to focus on neither of them. Not the most attractive option, in my opinion. If you didn’t get intimate with Giulia on the second night of your voyage, Giulia won’t be interested much, so you won’t get her route as an option. You can’t play them all at the same time, so save your game regularly if you want to explore different options. If you played more than one route and want to know where each route will lead you in season two, you must make a save for every route.

As usual: if a light bulb appears in the top right corner of your screen, you can click on it to get a hint.

If there are blanks in the photo album, you can probably find them in parts of the story you haven’t played yet.

v0.4.p3.02

Episode 11 is the third part of the fourth day of you journey back home. Most of it takes place in Elena’s house and… on television.

When you arrive in Elena’s living room, there will be a bit of free roam. Look around, watch the art on the walls, open doors and windows. Some places you can go more than once and find different things. There’s only one way out. I hope I’ve made it obvious enough so you will find it.

Moving your cursor over some of the paintings will reveal a bit of information about it. Mainly the title and the listed price. I will probably use this in the episode after this one. Don’t look just in the living room. There is art in other rooms as well.

The new episode has 546 new images and 32 new animations. That is not even including the many custom made works of art you will find on Elena’s walls. There are two branches in the story and a few variations at the end .

I hope you like playing it as much as I liked making it.

Initial Release

Developer Notes:

Back home version 0.4.p2 includes episodes 1-10. Episode 10 covers the second part of day 4, hence the version number.

In episode 10 you will finally deliver the Duck to its owner. You will meet the family of the owner and an unexpected guest.

You will also interact with Robbie and perhaps a few characters you met before. If you want that interactions to be intimate, you should understand that you can be intimate with only one. Time is limited and you’re no superman.

If you read the hints provided in the game, you will know when it’s clever to save your game to explore other options.

There may be minor differences in the game, depending if you took Hester’s or Shelly’s path and other choices you made.

You won’t be able to check your phone for most of the game, so don’t forget to do so when you get the chance.

There is an easter egg in the game. It’s not difficult to find but easy to miss. You will find explanation in the end credits. The question related to the easter egg, as mentioned in the game, is available on Patreon and Discord until the end of Februari.

There are 352 new images and 24 new animations in the game, plus a few new entries in the phone that include images as well.

As of this version, the beginning and the end of all episodes are indicated within the game. Where there were credits, players can choose to watch them or skip them. Please watch them if you like sexy pics of Robbie and Hanna.

I’m still working on some old graphics based menu’s, to change them into text based menus. That would make it easier to translate the game into other languages than English and Dutch. This process is not completed yet.

If you have any question or if you encounter bugs ( I hope not), you can contact me on Patreon or Discord.
