The Story
Home Zomewhere Else (HZE) is a linear story, where you play as Chad, a down on his luck Doberman trying to live day by day while haunted by a past he can’t seem to escape. His friends have left him, no family remains, and anything he had left in his hometown of Marimabo has been lost... As Chad you spend your time solving an increasing number of problems and trying to put back the pieces of your past. Chad is tormented by a series of unfortunate events that occurred a decade ago, when a bolt of lightning seemingly changed his fate forever.
Supernatural creatures roam the woods, magical situations occur without reason, all while his past and future lay before him. All Chad wants is a new place to call home...

What a surprise! I can feel something like enthusiasm in this work, and some of the content also resonates with the experience! The explanation of magic is also very convincing! I love these!(
)
The romance is a slow burn. Maybe no romance will occur
Hello! So as a means to tell people that might read this comment and because just a few people have mentioned it, I think i've talked about and posted about at the same time, that HZE is going to be at least 20 chapters, and that where we currently are, Chapter 3 is merely the beggining of the story we want to tell. While the story contains, and will contain more romance in the future, this is not the main focus of the story. So we kindly ask for your patience on that matter, and hope you enjoy the ride of the story WE want to tell!
Thank you for reading Home Zomewhere Else!
On top of having a great concept, lovable and well written characters, and wonderfully emotive sprites, xou create a very artistic way to describe "Zoma" :p
As a practitioner, I'm always curious how other writers explain the concept of magick in their universe, and xou've not left me wanting ^^_ it's so logical, in the most magickally accurate of ways n_n
I absolutely love the direction of the story. Keept up all of the amazing work! ^__^/
I'm really glad to hear! Trying to explain our "magic system" in a way that didn't felt overwhelming or just a dump of information was something that we tried really hard to achieve, so I hope that it came across the best way possible. And thanks for your kind words! I hope you continue reading HZE!
Xou guys nailed it, looking forward to what happens next~ ^^_
Ooh the latest update is making my hope for the forbidden moth thruple. (Also known as Mothoc's harem)
We do pray for more Mothoc content, If you'd like to see more, you can check out our patreon 😏😏😏
I've read up through everything in 0.12.2 and I am LOVING this story! Very excited to see what happens next :D
i want to set Chad's dad on fire
I know right u_u
How long has it been
months, but we're working really hard to hopefully get the update ready for this month! But I assure you its a long update!
i miss tot
I hope you succeed in your project :)
I love Mothoc
"The scent of fresh coffee fills you with determination."
Thought this little reference was cute, whether is was intentional or not :]
I SHIP CHAD AND FRED VERRRYYYY HAAAARD !!!!!
- spoilers-
Wow.
Wow.
I'm... What the actual fuck is hapenning right now ?
I mean, I loved the story, so many questions, a very mysterious story, a boyfriend that don't tell everything... A child, a mother, an abusive father. But monsters and magic powers AND MOTHOC??? Come on. This is too perfect :D
Even if i admit that i did not really understood the transition between "normal" and "paranormal shit", i loved it (I knew that there was going to be a paranormal side of the story, since the hand projection, it seemed obvious, but not that way, you understand ? I literally got terrified by the sound of the monsters, sended shivers down my spine :D).
The characters arer VERY endearing, and i spent a really good time getting to know them. Especially Jenny, she's so funny i love her. Well, that aside, the story is catching. I wanna see the end but... I feel as confused as the protagonist. And that's a good thing, since i'm supposed to see the world through the protagonist's eyes, but this is one of the only -if not the only one- VN in which i couldn't anticipate the events, i can't see the beggining of what the end will look like, and that's rare. It's a compliment !
I also really liked the effort put in the music and the background, i also loved the "drawed scene" ? I don't know the exact term, but you see what i mean.
Thank you, to all the team, for making such a great job at emerging people into your world. You did it very well, and i'll look forward the updates !
Thanks for reading :)
Losh ~
I haven't finished reading the public build yet (so far, probably a rising star in FVN's), but I feel compelled to tell you that Wizards of the Coast is writing up a new Open Game License that MAY impact your revenue.
thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it! and thanks for the heads up, we'll look into it!
Man...
I did not expect things to go down like that...
Love the game but could you guys add a "most recent update" option for the chapter select? For convenience.
love the new cgs

Has been a year since I last played this game on its first day
Really happy that this game got an attention it needed
The art and story potential is pretty nice
Hope to see this game grow even bigger
thanks for playing our game! <3
Hmm new sprites :D looking good
A of the best VN I ever played
I forgot to put: Happy Pride month everyone!! 😃😃😃
i can actually relate a bit to thony' and kathy's life, when i was younger-
(spoilies be warned)
me and my mother had to make do with what we had without my father, he isn't as physical as thony's dad but he was just as bad manipulatively.
great vn so far hmhm, can't wait to see it all shine
Yoo I'm sorry you had to go through that :C I hope everything got better! also care to send me a DM? telegram, twitter or discord, anything's fine!
it's oki hmhm not your fault he was an ass, and i'm on your discord if you're wanting to dm me hmhm
I love how Chad's facial hair grows a bit as time passes, such a fun little detail!
SPOILER (kind of ?)
I feel like Sentinel was a second father to Chad during those 10 years he can't seem to remember. After what happend when Chad and Fred got searated, maybe Sentinel took care of Chad for some time ? He's definitely connected to Chad since he seems to know him.
The last scene got me the impression that Terry (Chad's dad) was beating him...... I may be wrong but i could see some sings that maybe it was the case... If Chad has PTSD when he sees a metal bar on an empty hand then that's a solid clue for me. Along with Terry's demeanor during the flash back.
Anyway, lots of mysteries and unanswered questions, i loved this update and am looking foward for the next one !
