"Before Mom Comes Home" is a first-person psychological suspense stealth game that explores the loneliness and growth of "left-behind children" in small towns. Inspired by the personal experiences and life traumas of the artist team, the game gradually unfolds as an inner monologue about familial love and solitude.

Players take on the role of a lonely child who, after being separated from their mother for a long time, has forgotten what she looks like. During a game of hide-and-seek, the child accidentally stumbles into a sealed underground room. In the depths of darkness, with flickering lights, players must stealthily avoid the light while piecing together their mother's appearance through memories and imagination, slowly uncovering the emotional world hidden within the child's heart.

Through this unique gameplay design, the work reveals the conflict between the child's yearning for familial love and their escape from loneliness, presenting the emotional trauma and longing caused by an absent family. It seeks to reflect on the interplay between memory and reality, while exploring deeper questions about family, solitude, and social relationships.
