A quick look at Homesick: exploration, puzzles, and nightmares

Homesick

As I shoved and was shoved by the PAX East mob yesterday morning, Homesick caught my eye—looking all spooky at the Indie Megabooth as it was—so I stopped to chat with its creators. The show being much louder than it seems in this video, I didn't hear much of what they said, but thanks to a microphone, we've learned that Homesick is a puzzle-exploration game set in an abandoned building, and it'll be on Steam soon. It's also got some very nice-looking urban decay, which co-creator Barrett Meeker accomplished single-handedly.

He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!). Tyler joined PC Gamer in 2011, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
