Homebound collects three games, all three gm-less and for 2+ players, that Aaron Lim made between 2017 and 2019, which each have some relation to either the idea of home or leaving a place:
-
How to Say Goodbye - You are all good friends who have been together in this one place for some time. Now it is time to leave; each of you to your own uncertain future. It is time to say goodbye to the locales, the things, the people you love. You will leave pieces of yourself behind, mark your presence in others, and take their pieces with you.
-
Ithaca in the Cards - You are fellow travelers on a perilous journey trying to make your way home. The goal of the game is to make it back safely. On your journey, you will encounter various challenges using a blackjack-driven card system, and reflect on what drives you on your journey home.
-
Far From Home - Far From Home is a game about immigrants and outsiders. It’s about exploring what it means to live and thrive in a culture that is not fully your own. It’s about how you piece together an identity drawing from multiple cultures, yet never wholly belonging to either.
