Evaluation

Sweet Home launched on August 18, 2025 as a complete visual novel featuring 3 main story routes, a secret route, 12 branching endings, and over 200,000 words of text. The base game shipped as a finished product. Following launch, the developer has been actively maintaining and expanding the game. A patch on August 27, 2025 added an achievement system and fixed several bugs. On January 16, 2026, the developer announced that English, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese localizations were in active development. The most significant recent update came on June 30, 2026 (version 1.1.0), which added Mac support and brought multilingual language options to the demo. However, the developer explicitly noted that full multilingual support is not yet available in the full game — only in the demo — and promised further updates on when the full localizations will be ready. A follow-up patch (v1.1.1) shipped on July 2, 2026 with minor size optimizations. The full game is still Chinese-only as of the developer's last communication on July 2, 2026. Players waiting for an English (or other language) version of the full game should expect that update to arrive at an unspecified future date.
Evidence
Version 1.1.0 added Mac support and multilingual support to the demo, but explicitly noted the full game does not yet support these languages. Developer promised further updates when available.

About this game

"Another winter break, same as always... Ugh, I hate New Year."

It’s a cold, ordinary day in 2018. Ying skips class again, trying to escape the tension at home. In this small town—familiar, yet suffocating—her life drifts by like an old calendar, each page silently torn away. But this year, things start to change. It all began with a puppy, a chance encounter at the wrong time, and a series of unexpected connections—quietly setting everything into motion.

Who will leave their mark on her life? The bright, straightforward best friend? The mysterious, brooding classmate? Or that peculiar lurking in her neighborhood?

Even the most predictable life can ripple. A nosy teacher, boy struck by love at first sight, a tough, queen-bee type in the dormitory, and... her family.
