Review
Homecoming is one of those short, smart little works of Interactive Fiction that doesn't feel complicated, but is incredibly novel and entertaining.
The novelty in this case rests almost entirely in the writing; VanEseltine creates a memorable and relatable character out of a near-minimalist work of Interactive Fiction. The game can be played to a satisfying end with a few directions typed into the parser, or you can meander and wander a bit. Either way, you'll discover a surprisingly deep game behind the simple mechanics.
The level of skill and craft on display here is subtle; the expertise and practice that went into it makes the final display feel effortless and easy.
There are a number of possible endings, and variations within those endings; this is a game you're going to want to play multiple times.
