Hello, community!
First and foremost, we want to clarify that this is not the planned update for June but rather an interim version with fixes, improvements, and new content. While this update brings playable additions, they do not advance the main storyline, focusing instead on extra content to enrich your experience.
Why this update?
Originally, we planned to release the next major update on 06/27. However, due to the need for additional adjustments, that version is not yet ready. To ensure compatibility with our upcoming release, the DLC Pioneers Vault, we are providing this interim update. We apologize for the delay and thank you for your understanding.
Introducing the Pioneers Vault DLC
Now available to add to your Steam wishlist, the Pioneers Vault DLC offers exclusive content for fans of Our Home. This DLC includes:
Secret photo gallery fully unlocked.
Replay gallery unlocked to revisit memorable moments.
Step-by-step guide with tips for making the best decisions in the game.
The Pioneers Vault will be regularly updated with new extra content to enhance gameplay. All features are optional and can be activated individually through a dedicated menu.
Note: This DLC will be available for purchase only during early access. After the official release of Our Home, it will no longer be available, at least not with all the planned content.

What's New in This Update
This version introduces new and experimental content we’re testing to improve Our Home:
New Lorena character quiz: Test your knowledge about the character!
6 new secret images: Discover them by exploring the game.
Free-roam event with Lorena: A new casual content to interact with the character.
The free-roam event can be accessed by disabling Visual Novel (VN) mode and checking Lorena’s personal calendar.
Sprite Experiments: Speeding Up Development
We’re testing a new sprite technique to streamline the creation of casual content, such as conversations that enrich the storyline. In this update, we applied this approach to Lorena’s free-roam event, following a successful test with the character Hicco.
This technique will not replace the complex scenes in Our Home, which will maintain their high level of detail. However, sprites allow us to add lighter interactions more quickly, keeping the game dynamic, and will only be used for casual free-roam scenes. When a free-roam scene requires more complex interactions, such as a sex scene or something more intimate, the standard storytelling format will be used.
We’d love your feedback on this new feature! If it’s well-received, we’ll continue implementing it in future updates.
Improvements in Free-Roam and VN Mode Integration
We’ve worked to make the Visual Novel (VN) and free-roam modes more seamless. Now, after completing the main storyline content, you can explore the map and find secret images without switching modes. This change makes transitions between modes smoother and ensures you have playable content even after finishing the story, keeping the fun going until the next update. When the new version is released, your progress will automatically load, and you’ll continue the story from where you left off, just like in any other game. While this integration may feel a bit challenging at first, our goal is to make it increasingly intuitive over time.
What’s Next?
The next update is in development and will be released as soon as it’s ready, which should take about 10 days. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and continued support. Our Home is a work in progress, and your feedback is essential in shaping the game’s future.
Thank you for being part of the Our Home journey!
