Help Me Home - A videogame idea

See other programming-ideas.

This is an idea I’ve had for years. I picture a 2d (maybe pixel art?) adventure game style of graphics.

Premise:

You’re either an astronaut stuck on an adrift space ship that needs to be fixed who goes on a VR couch to be transported to the comfort of a "holodeck-like" home (with fun and loving family). or you’re actually at home and every time you go to sleep, you dream that you’re the astronaut.

Either way, the puzzles carry across the two realities and have to be solved through both.

The title is a play on words because you’re trying to get home, but it’s also "home" (your family) who helps you with the space ship repair puzzles.

I’m not sure if it should remain ambiguous at the end which was real?
