Home Before Dark
Description
A Custom 90s Nostalgia Video Game Gift
Remember when your biggest worry was getting home before the streetlights came on? "Home Before Dark" takes you straight back to the retro vibe of 1990s Las Vegas. This isn't just another generic present; it's the ultimate unique personalized gift for brothers, best friends, and 90s kids. We transform your childhood memories into a playable 2D story. It's the perfect birthday gift idea for best friend or a sentimental gift for a sibling that beats boring off-the-shelf stuff any day of the week.
Game Features
Your Squad, Your Rules
Choose 1 or 2 playable heroes to lead the adventure. The rest of your real-life crew (or that one annoying neighbor) will be added as in-game NPCs in your very own personalised game—they can follow you around or hang out in the level for a quick chat.
Hometown Vibes
By combining our extensive asset library with custom touches, we try to capture the vibe of your childhood streets. Send us your old hometown photos, and we'll use them as inspiration to customize our level layouts and recreate that retro magic.
Inside Jokes & Nostalgia
Every level is packed with the stuff that makes your bond special. We load the game with your favorite 90s music, legendary quotes, and those inside jokes only you guys understand.

How We Created This Game
Story & Concept
You share your best 90s memories, hometown photos, and crazy childhood stories. We turn them into a fun script.
Game Art Design
Hand our artist a cold beer, and he suddenly starts working miracles! He creates custom sprites for your characters and blends them perfectly with our existing backgrounds. It’s honestly great, because let’s face it—we don’t have an infinite budget, but we still make a truly customizable gift that looks awesome.
Dev & Launch
The game is built on the Unity engine, ensuring flawless performance on any device. By tapping into our existing asset library and years of experience, we send you a playable game link in just 3-7 days. It’s faster (and way cooler) than ordering custom board games or hunting for engraved gifts for christmas.
