About Almost Home
Gather your friends and begin the long journey home. Along the way, you'll cross haunted islands, endless deserts, evil bosses, and places no traveler should ever enter.
Every stop has its own rules to uncover, objectives to complete, creatures to understand, and dangers to survive. Figure out how the place works, gather what you need, and work together to make it through.
One bad decision can put the whole expedition at risk.
One lucky discovery can save it.
And every journey home becomes another story you'll tell around the campfire.
TAKE ON EVERY CHALLENGE
Explore unfamiliar places, uncover their secrets, learn how they work, and overcome the challenges that stand in your way. A peaceful island might hide something beneath the surface, while the rules that kept you alive in one biome may be completely useless in the next.
SURVIVE THE JOURNEY
Fish, forage, and make use of whatever you find along the way. A quiet moment by the water might be exactly what your team needs before things go terribly wrong.
RECEIVE THE CAT GOD'S BLESSINGS
Harvest Anima during your expeditions and offer it at ancient shrines to receive the Cat God's Blessings.
Unlock permanent upgrades, powerful abilities, and new synergies that open up new ways for your group to survive future journeys home.
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
Knowing how a place works doesn't mean you know what will happen.
Randomized events, hidden secrets, changing objectives, dynamic weather, and unexpected encounters keep every expedition unpredictable.
Learn from your mistakes.
Prepare for what you can.
Improvise when everything goes wrong.
