Hi! I am contacting creators/developers on behalf of a graduate researcher studying how Lovecraft is represented in games. If you have time to complete a 10-minute survey about Homeland, please send a message to: masonsmith [at] tamu [dot] edu.

LOVED the art style. Wished the main character moved a little faster, that walk animation made me laughed haha. But solid game, loved the enemies look too, specially that big one.

Hah, thanks! I struggled trying to figure out how to animate that sprite but figured it had a little personality. We really wanted to add more and have more dynamic mechanics but were pretty limited on time since it was only a week.

Awesome Game! I like how you made this game. Lovecraft in space (kinda). I enjoyed it and Cthulhu was pretty scary. I am happy that i didn't have to fight with him, cuz this would kinda ruin the fear of him. I hope to see more games from you in future. Keep up!

btw here is my video:

Hey thanks! We definitely had a great time making it, we wanted to add a lot more but was hard to fit in the week for the jam. I hope the scream wasn't too loud when you see the first cosmic horror monster!

I really like the atmosphere of this one
