a short visual novel i made in a week, using ren'py. this is the first visual novel i've made, and the first game i've made on my own. i made it for a small game jam with some friends, with a theme of "fear of the unknown".

Stuck @ Home is a game about feelings, but mostly memes.

really well done the storyline really hit home with me and i relate way too much to the depression and fears of the main character. i hate change and i have gone through so much similar stuff with taking a nap but sleeping for a really long time, and also neglecting friendships because i haven't replied to texts. this game lowkey inspired me to not get the bad ending anymore in my real life and to get out there a lil more to go for the good ending <3

5/10 I'm stuck at home, help

Dang, in my first playthrough I went for the Good Ending because MC desperately needed it and Skipper and Dahlia?? God they reminded me so much of my own friends it hit me hard and their banter made me laugh and smile, it made me reminisce my own life since I'm also graduating and nearing my final completion in my college application. I'm glad that Skipper and Dahlia decided to visit MC and brighten their day, it was great and I enjoyed seeing them happy.

I know it's been quite a long time since the game came out. BUT I played it last night and I loved the dialogues so much. It's so well written. If you feel a little down and you are wondering if you should play this game, please do! I'm sure it will makes you smile and warms your heart.

This game was really cute! Absolutely loved the supportive friends! This game hit kinda deep I won't lie but it was super fun to play. The art is really pretty and I really enjoyed it! I feel like I have friends like Skipper and Dahlia, so it was really cool to be able to play this and know I also have support in my life like these two!

Aww, the good end was sweet! Dahlia and Skipper is the type of friends that I've been looking for.

Related a little too much to this game. Unfortunately I got the bad ending in real life, ended up pushing all my friends away and dropping out. This game reminded me of all the good times we used to have. Never been touched by a game more

I like this game! It tells that you should get out of the house and spend time with your friends (or necessities)!

-Made a Video. (Old Video)

are there multiple endings? good art direction and the dialogue is good. you could work a lot of different personalities into this i'm sure. thanks 

i love this game

o m g love this! reminds me a lot of being in high school n not just because of my secret homestuck obsession in the tenth grade. can't believe you made this in a week bruh, i made a game once and its literally so bad its only redeeming factor is . nothing. but this is great!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this game! i thought it was gonna be at least a little bit sucky since it was made in a short amount of time but nOpE, i loved the game so much! GJ ^_^

I really loved this game, during my first playthrough, which didn't record properly, I really wanted to cry at some parts.

I also made a video:

I came here looking for a homestuck reference and was not dissapointed

10/10

:3

this game was lovely. i love games where i can relate to the main character. it has made me want to go watch a sunset with my friends.

This game was amazing, i wish i'd played it earlier. 10/10 

This game was so heartwarming! It really hit close to home for me. I did a playthrough of it for my channel--

Hello! I adored your game it was wonderfully designed and had such a sweet sense of humour! Well done for making such an awesome game in only a  few days! I made a let's play of your game here-

woAH buddy this has homestuck references?? im playing this asap thank you for existing

Nice , My friend will enjoy playing this! :3

This was adorable!! My heart was so warmed from this....;_; thank youuu

This game was so perfect for me bc i am a highschool student!! under the stress of exams and growing up and college and anxiety ! So I'm so glad I stumbled upon this game ^^ (Dahlia and Skipper remind me of my own friends actually! They even look like them which is a bit scary honestly, haha. I'll definitely go hang out with them as soon as I can :3)

aw, im glad this resonated with you so much! :^) thank you!

This is it : a heavy psych problem approached by sweet dialogue with such caring friends (and life reflexion in the monologue of MC) :')

I liked it ^^ The art was great, the topic was deep, the exchange between everyone (on the ending I got, anyway) was interesting and uplifting, and I liked the Homestuck references I saw :P

I made a let's play for my channel as well. I only went through one ending, but I hope it helps! 

thank you! i'm glad you enjoyed it. i'm also glad you understood the homestuck references haha :^)

I think it's very beautifully illustrated and the game play is well done. Personally, I think the game was sweet but could have been a really good chance to touch on difficult topics like post-graduation depression, Post Commencement Stress Disorder and Anxiety. I think it tried to touch on them in an informing way, but I don't think it was done well. I would suggest for games like this, which start discussing mental health, getting an advisor that you may know. If you are close with any psychiatrists or psychologists, it couldn't hurt to ask for advice.

sorry, I can't launtch it. But I like the illustrations pretty much.

aw, sorry to hear that! thank you though

This was awesome! Great jokes, though I unfortunately didn't get the Homestuck reference. Damn!


thanks! and yeah, i think a lot of people didn't get it.. my bad lol

This was great to play, loved it!


thank you! :>

I liked this! Covered it on my channel



i'm glad you liked it! :>

This game is fantastic. Short and sweet- but I really, really loved it. The introspectiveness of the MC was actually relatable and realistic. (rare) It made me kind of sadly nostalgic of a time period where I, too, was isolated and didn't know what I was going to do in the future. The beautiful music just complimented that kind of "stuck" nature of the emotions there. On the flip side, the interactions with Skipper and Dahlia felt like real conversations I would have with my friends. Every ending filled me with different emotions- elation, regret. You did a really good job at putting this all together. Good work! I'll be looking forward to seeing more from you ( :

ahh, im really glad this resonated with you! :'> thank you for your kind words

The story is very interesting and fresh! I enjoyed it x) I can't wait to see your future games


thank you! :

Amazing game and props to the developer! This really sends you to Feeladelphia and felt I could really relate myself to the main character.

Here is a video I did with a short review. Looking forward to your next game!


thank you! im glad to hear you could relate to it and that you enjoyed it :
