Save your home from KAIJU!

HOME is a mapmaking RPG putting you in the boots of a mech pilot who must protect their home from Kaiju.

One year ago, an invading Kaiju destroyed a city in your home. Scans show that more are coming and so we built the mechs: towering war machines designed to kill Kaiju, if they don't kill you first.

HOME is a story-forward game of action, exploration, hope, and loss. Build your home, pilot, and mech. Prepare for battle by constructing bases, uniting the nations, or searching the mysterious Aether. And when the moment of truth arrives, fight the Kaiju in a deadly showdown that will destroy your home if you lose.

HOME was successfully crowdfunded by 1280 amazing backers!

What people are saying

“The dice mechanic is brilliant.”  - Matthew Doughty, player

“I love how HOME focuses on telling a story... this would be a great first RPG to play, and still a ton of fun for experienced players.”  - Matt Latham, game designer

“The creative prompts really got me thinking of fun ideas for building out the world, mechs, and kaiju.” - Tony Smerek, player

“HOME f***ing ruled.” - sniperserpent, game designer
