A Home Below

A Home Below is a single-player, story-driven hermit crab game where you explore an underwater house in search of a real seashell.

Each room is a world. From skittish sea urchins, and friendly anemones, to a scary wrasse, and a curious octopus. Make hasty retreats and temporary alliances. Interact with a thriving, rambling community under the sea.

Climb over ancient furniture and ride on bubble currents to reach high places. Squeeze through gaps in the walls between rooms to access new worlds. Acquire awesome skills and learn how to do all the funny things that crustaceans do to survive.

In your quest to find a real seashell, you’ll find all kinds of halfway homes that mostly suck. But you can enjoy customising and repairing them, which can have a BIG effect on how you’re seen by others. Do you want to be seen as toxic or a tasty treat?

As you explore, you keep coming across personal items that contain little fragments of the past. Useless to a crab, but still… it feels like the house is trying to tell you something. Explore all the rooms to learn more about the family that once lived here. Discover their story and see if it can help you come to terms with your own strange, crabby existence.
