Housebound Desires

Housebound Desires is a 2D animated adult visual novel for players who like slow-burn family drama with a hidden, taboo edge. The tone stays quiet and domestic on the surface, with tension simmering underneath.

Story

After their father's arrest for testifying against a crime syndicate, a young man and his mother, brother, and sister are relocated to a remote town under witness protection, new names and all. The house they settle into feels off from the start, and a strange encounter soon unravels the quiet new life they were promised, pulling long-buried desires and secrets into the open.

Gameplay

Play as the protagonist navigating daily life inside the new household, talking with family members, exploring the house, and following story-driven scenes that shift depending on who you choose to get closer to. Progress unfolds through dialogue and events rather than open exploration, with each chapter revealing more about the house and the people in it.

Features

• Hand-drawn 2D art paired with AI-assisted character work for a distinct visual style
