Save your home from KAIJU!

HOME is a roleplaying and mapmaking game putting you in the boots of a mech pilot who must protect their home from Kaiju.

One year ago, an invading Kaiju destroyed a city in your home. Scans show that more are coming and so we built the mechs: towering war machines designed to kill Kaiju, if they don't kill you first.

HOME is a story-forward game of action, exploration, hope, and loss. Build your home, pilot, and mech. Prepare for battle by constructing bases, uniting the nations, or searching the mysterious Aether. And when the moment of truth arrives, fight the Kaiju in a deadly showdown that will destroy your home if you lose.

What people are saying

“Shards of Pacific Rim, Godzilla and early Gundam have been melted down and reforged in tragic fires. What’s left is a quietly devastating game played on a map at a distance 100 miles above everything.”
- Chase Carter, Dicebreaker

“The dice mechanic is brilliant.”
- Matthew Doughty, player

“I love how HOME focuses on telling a story... this would be a great first RPG to play, and still a ton of fun for experienced players.”
- Matt Latham, game designer
