Sweet Home

About

Sweet Home is a 1989 adventure RPG by Capcom that drops you into a decaying mansion filled with ghosts and monsters. You play as one of five filmmakers trapped inside after a vengeful spirit seals the doors. The mansion itself is a lethal environment, collapsing floors and hidden traps force you to navigate carefully while fending off relentless enemies. Each decision matters as you balance limited resources between survival and exploration. The story unfolds through sparse dialogue and environmental clues, with the main goal of escaping before the team is picked off one by one. What sets Sweet Home apart is its eerie atmosphere and early use of survival horror elements. Long before Resident Evil popularized the formula, this game required managing scarce ammo and solving basic puzzles to progress. With a small but dedicated following, it’s often cited as a cult classic among retro horror fans. Its top-down perspective and tense encounters still hold up, offering a raw, unpolished experience that feels surprisingly modern in its approach to tension and survival. Though obscure, it’s a key entry in Capcom’s history and a must-play for fans of old-school spooky adventures.
