A Home Below is a single-player, story-driven exploration game where you play as a hermit crab exploring the ruins of a house that’s been lost to the sea.
INVESTIGATE THE HOUSE
Set in near-future North Wales, A Home Below is inspired by real climate stories of rising sea levels and flooding, causing entire towns to vanish underwater. As you explore the remnants of the Salt family's once-loved home, you'll piece together how they responded to this disaster, and what happened to them.
TRAVERSE THE ENVIRONMENT
Platform around large underwater rooms, drifting and floating your way further into the house, harnessing ocean currents and hitching lifts, climbing over surfaces and through cracks in the walls as you travel from room to room.
REMEMBER THE PAST
As a hermit crab with the ability to change shells, putting on the Salt family’s forgotten possessions allows you to see memories from the past, revealing the ghostly traces of the lives that once filled the house. Physically platform across these tableaus, providing new pathways and access to other rooms in the house.
MAKE FRIENDS WITH SEA LIFE
Discover a wonderful world of responsive, characterful sea creatures based on real UK species, from skittish sea urchins and friendly anemones to a scary wrasse and a curious octopus. Add to your bestiary as you explore, learning real facts about sea life and forming powerful connections.
