Eleven years ago today, our surprise-hit 2D #horror adventure game Home launched on PS4. Did you know it was the first GameMaker game on PlayStation?
Both @gamemaker.io and @playstation.com were incredibly supportive. It has done very well on Sony's console.

Just me running around the island and beating up some monsters.
Sometimes new things are popping up in places you've already explored, so revisiting areas stays exciting.
