🌾 Home Heaven

A fantasy sandbox survival RPG where the world never gives you a reason to relax

The pitch

No story. No cutscenes. No one to hold your hand.

Just you, a patch of land, and a world that will take everything you build the moment you 

stop paying attention.

Trust no one — because there's no one here to trust. Only things to survive.

⚒️ What you'll actually be doing

Chop wood, mine ore, farm crops, and construct your homestead piece by piece with a full 

crafting chain — Workbench, Furnace, Anvil — in a procedurally generated isometric world 

that never looks the same twice.

A hand-animated dual-wield combat system with real weight behind every strike — block, 

parry, and counter with a shield in your off-hand, or go all-in with elemental weapons 

that burn, freeze, shock, or poison whatever you hit.

Take your gear to the Anvil and upgrade it through Forge Resonance — a real-time timing 

minigame where a perfect strike is the difference between a decent sword and a legendary one.

Charge a bowshot and loose elemental arrows at anything that gets too close, or keep it 

personal with a blade.

When the sun goes down, the safety you built during the day goes with it. Enemies spawn, 

resources dry up, and every decision about where to be starts to matter.

Raise what you can, lose what you can't protect

Tame and breed animals — but nothing here is guaranteed to stay tame.

No guidance. No safety net.

Home Heaven doesn't tell you what to do. It doesn't promise the tools you find are worth 

using, the ground you build on is stable, or the night will end when you expect it to.

You're not playing to win. You're playing to still have something left in the morning.

🎮 Built for the Brackeys Game Jam — Theme: TRUST NO ONE

Built around the idea that trust isn't a dialogue choice — it's every decision you make 

about where to sleep, what to fight, and what to leave behind.
