About Home Sweet Home EP2

Home Sweet Home EP2 is the second episode of the Thai horror series by YGGDRAZIL GROUP, released on Steam in September 2019, with the second half of the game added as a free update that Halloween. It is played in first person and in English, Thai or Simplified Chinese.

Since his wife disappeared, Tim has searched for her without getting closer to the truth. He wakes in a mysterious forest that seems to call him in, and is set upon by villagers possessed by an evil spirit and by a Thai dancer he cannot see. The places are drawn from Thai culture and the story from Thai myths and folklore: temple gates in the dark, rows of stupas lit by candles, wooden houses with blood on the floor.

The first game was about hiding. This one lets Tim fight back for the first time, with weapons, and the makers describe each encounter as a mix of stealth and combat, often against several enemies at once. Between them you solve investigation puzzles that unlock more of the story.

It suits players who finished Home Sweet Home and want its story to go on, and anyone looking for horror rooted in Southeast Asian folklore.

How to play Home Sweet Home EP2

1. Buy it on Steam for Windows.
2. Explore the forest and temple grounds in first person, looking for clues to Tim's wife.
3. Stay out of sight of the possessed villagers and the unseen dancer, or fight when you must.
4. Solve the puzzles you find to unlock the next part of the story.

Tips

• Play the first Home Sweet Home first; this episode picks up its story.
• You can fight now, but you will meet several enemies at once, so avoiding them is often safer.
• Look closely at objects left on tables and shrines; they are often part of a puzzle.
