What Makes Homecoming Morenatsu Revisited Stand Out
"It's been five years since I've seen my hometown. What if they don't remember me? What if everyone's moved on?"
In Homecoming, you take on the role of a young Japanese snow fox named Hiroyuki Nishimura. After moving away from your hometown Minasato to Osaka five years ago, you receive an unexpected letter from an old friend inviting you back for one last summer vacation before completing your senior year of high school. What complicates things is how you've neglected to contact any of your friends over the years. Although nervous, you accept the invitation.
What awaits you back in Minasato? Will you be welcomed with open arms, or has it been so long that everyone has forgotten about you? Will this be yet another wasted summer, or will you finally have the chance to experience what makes life worth living?
This game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Cant wait next new games guys working on well good and pretty cool games too we hope one day gets updated on this game too new happy years have a great day:3 enjoy it.
All these people and possible routes, we love it so much! Im totally new to this game and yet so invested. After getting to the end of the demo, we found ourselves being left with a feeling of having no closure we cant wait for this game to have its full on release! Totally look forward to doing all possible routes and endings with all the guys!! But seeing as the most recent update was around 2 months ago, we dont want to get our hopes up too much but Ill keep believing in this team! Keep going! Please update and add more.
Ok the game is fine and all but where is the we know it sounds weird but we need the PLEASE.
Ive had such a good time with this VN! Ive yet to get very far, but we wanted to ask, is there NSFW scenes in the iOS version? We noticed the censorship option was locked, and we know apple can be a stickler for that kind of thing.
We enjoy it we just cant wait for a new update not as great as the real one but its just as good for something thats just a demo.
Pros: – fleshed out story – great character development – wide variation with location settings – August 12… Legitimately laughed out loud Cons: – missing character sprites: kinda took us out of the story a bit – not a lot of decision making choices or scenes when they should be implemented – overly sappy dialogue – we would like to see what Hiro looks like. Overall: we NEED MORE!!! WHENS THE REST OF THE STORY COMING?! WILL THERE BE SEXY TIME?? IS THERE AN ONLINE VERSION OF THE FULL STORY WITH FULL DETAIL.
Good and awesome to but one problem character ctc incon not show up on lift side of screen at all please fix it that way can see characters incon including fox characters incon can see our character look like in the game please.
We really loved this game a lot, when will the full version be out? We would live to play this even more and learn even more about all the characters.
Back when we first downloaded the remake for our PC, our love for these characters was instantly reignited. Itd been a long time since Id been to Minasato, so being given the opportunity to return was too good to pass up. We were blown away by how both nostalgic it felt while also offering something new to the table. Though not finished, we had a blast with the content that was presented. So much so that Ive replayed it more than Id like to admit. Now imagine our surprise when we learned it had been ported to iPhone? All the benefits of the remake are here only now its on the go and its all executed perfectly. Our only small gripe being that our time and battery percentage dont disappear when we open the app, but thats just a nitpick that Im sure the devs are aware of. Overall, Im beyond impressed with this port and look forward to seeing how itll progress. Best of luck in your endeavors.
We love this nothing else to say.
Ive been following this project for a while now and we only just realized theres an iOS version. We love this game and now we can play it whenever we want. Keep up the amazing work.
Please add more we need to see how this finishes it cant just end when its about to get good please give us more.
Ill be honest. We left the fandom back in 2016. We found this game while reminiscing about the OGMorenatsu, and holy wow, this studio really delivers! Theyre still in the demo phase, completed all the way up until the Beach Trip day, but seeing our favorite character (Torahiko) getting close to having a completed route is sending us to a new place in our subconscious. Ive became really emotionally attached to this game and we plan on being here for the long haul. Cant wait to see what the developers have in store for us. This is seriously an awesome game.
We are very happy with how this adaptation is going, especially with the character redesigns and storytelling. In our opinion, this is miles better than the original and Revisited version. We hope this project continues to grow and flourish. Some questions: 1. Is there anyways to delete saves? We cant seem to find out any way to do that. 2. Would there be keyboard and mouse support in the future? We understand if there isnt any interest in this as the game is completely doable without any of these peripherals, but it would be nice to just right click to open up the menu and save easily, or press a space bar to continue reading. Other than that, this game is very much in development, but we are liking what we see so far.
We love the idea of giving Morenatsu a remake, and Im ecstatic that youre completing the unfinished routes but… Some of the redesigns drive us a bit nuts, especially Shun and Kouya (though to be honest, we like what you did to Soutaro to some extent). We hope you consider putting back in the option to name yourself and an option to switch the MC to human to help with the experience. And hopefully give us an option to switch over to the original sprites if thats what we prefer.
We absolutely love this game and fell in love with its story and characters ever since we first downloaded it, but it also pains us not to see the story or game update, we usually come back every so often to check on the game to see if it did update but never did. We just hope that in the future Ill be able to see it continue.
We really enjoyed this game. Ive been doing Shuns route, and we cant wait for his route to be continued! Once the full game is out, Ill definitely rate it five stars.
To be honest, the updates take way too long. We have been replaying this game for three years and its kind of tiring for us to replay characters that arent finished, but we will see. We do appreciate you for putting in the to make us all happy.
We think it's a very good game, but feel like the language is a bit monolingual? Did you consider too much translation? Several languages, such as Chinese.
Game will make u emotional honestly such a great VN.
We love big fat dragon guy, ten out of ten.
We were not prepared for this. We wish someone had warned us so now we are paying it forward and warning you. Just straight up ugly crying in the guest room so we dont wake up the whole house. We are the white girl in the club. This song is about us. We are all of these people. We have been personally victimized by regina george. Genuinely we were not expecting nor ready for this game to be what it was and devs, if you are still working on this, we want you to know that as a lifelong gamer, this hit us in ways that made presentable liberty look like a bedtime story. Thank you. So much. Now please for all that is good in the world: finish Tora because its going to haunt us.
Just found this game from a friends recommendation and am blown away, never have we played a game and felt so many emotions in our life. We believe Ive played and replayed Tarous route (1-16) about 1000 times so far been branching out to the others and am constantly blown away from the storytelling, relatability, and all the emotions they bring! So again just wanted to thank the team behind this for bringing this into our life, and cant wait to see what more yall bring to it.
10/10 we recommend this! Its a great love story and story about bonding! Cant wait tell all the characters are able to get a full ending. Our personal favorite is Juuichi, made us cry definitely in love with him.
Such a great Visual Novel, really just great, we know Torahs path is going to be finished last, but we havent been able to anything about when Shuns path(s) are planned to be finished by? Thanks, keep up the great work.
We love this game, but is this only a demo? Because we dont have our own PC because we cant afford one at this time, so we would want to still play the entire game on our iPhone without needing a PC for itch.io.

We were originally part of the English translation for the original project, mostly to correct grammar mistakes, or note any missed Japanese text, and it saddened us immensely to see the project originally die. We spent many years quietly lamenting the loss of the project. We heard others had tried to pick it up only to put it down for one reason or another. The most recent attempt had us learning that Hiroyuki had been changed to a fox with all references to humans no longer existing due to the writers decision and bias, which we did not approve of. Since then, we had put the project out of our mind until recently, when our family was to go on a week long vacation. We were searching through apps and the like to prepare, and came across the VN, apparently now released for iOS. We decided to try it, on the basis on the glowing reviews, and the fact that Hiro seemed to have an option to have his species restored. The layout of the project was also radically changed. Normally you had to pick who you hung out with on the day, which sped the game along, now you played out almost ALL the events present. This significantly lengthened the game but also allowed you to experience a large amount of missed content. We finished the Shin route on our first attempt and got the best ending. We have to say this game hit all the right marks, including the updated art, and even some events that we know didnt exist in the original project, which helps to develop the characters. Im very impressed with this version of the game and hope to see it as it continues to develop.
Play a lot times really good story and characters and places enjoy it keep up excellent job on the game really want more story and characters other places to we hope get updated on the games.
We absolutely love the characters in this vn. They all have distinct personalities and designs.
Seriously, this game is the sole reason we got into visual novels in the first place, and seeing how far its gone makes us super happy. Please, do not abandon this game before you complete it. If we remember correctly, you said you would add the torahiko route last (not sure about that) and if this game gets cancelled before our boy can finally be fully implemented Ill legit cry like we did with tatsukis bad ending. We have waited years to see a torahiko route that doesnt end straight after the confession, and this is basically our last hope. Great game, if you are reading this, get it IMMEDIATELY, nothing but positive thoughts (and a few steamy ones) with this game. We felt nothing but love and joy when playing, and we can see how much time and effort they put into it, and its INCREDIBLE. Sorry for the long review and if we repeated topics, but Im just too excited. Also, if you are reading this, developer, could you do us a favor and give us an estimate on when the build 12 will come out? Like the month you plan on it being released or something? You dont have to but it would be nice.
Could you add a continue button cause its kinda annoying when we leave and we come back and it for some reason resets ik we can save but~ it would be so much better if we had a continue button as-well just a harmless request we would recommend ^.
This story so far has made us feel so many emotions and both the good and bad have done nothing but make us cry. Truly a beautiful story with amazing characters with each branch feeling unique leading to it feeling fresh each time.
We would absolutely love to see Hiro! You dont ever see him, would like to see something like the mini portraits like in the original when who ever is talking. But otherwise 10/10 amazing work guys.
Absolutely beautiful, we love the story and how real it feels. The emotions are strong, and overwhelming (in a good way). And the romance between you and who your lover might be is something to die for. We love this vn, and we hope to see all of the routes completed.
We found this game not too long ago and we instantly fell in love! We love the pace and the different paths one can take! We never got to experience the original game so thank you for making this one! Cant wait for toras path to he finished.
We had found out about the game at the age of 8 and Ive hyperfixated on it since, we love the remaster so much. (mostly because we were never able to play it until now.. ) we are now 13 and still love the franchise to death! This made us smile all day, himbos for the win we guess! P.S Thank you for your making this port, you truly dont know how many memories this brought back. Never stop updating until ya feel like it! (we recommend tiny changes, such as hands being changed to paws in the dialogue while the Snow Fox setting is chosen/on.) Go-go Hunter! :D.
We never got the chance to play the original Morenatsu, so Im glad that this version ended up being on the App Store. We went back to the original and we have to say this version adds a lot more scenes and really fleshes out the characters further, doing justice to characters that kind of got side lined in the original. All in all we hope production on this continues, we cant wait to play through all of the routes.
We found this while digging through the App Store, and had to leave a 5 star rating. Ive become obsessed with the story, and exploring all the different twists and turns. Its well written and very easy to get lost in. To the creator(s), thank you, this is some awesome work.
There rnt a lot of mlm vns and so we rly appreciate this game!!!! Its so good we def recommend.
We love it but pls finish Kouya and Shuns ending cuz we think them two are the cutest.
This is in the #2 spot for our favorite games list. We discovered this on a trip to Philly and immediately chose torahikos route. Its an amazing route to choose but it havent been completed yet so now Im left in a feeling of sadness/despair. Does anyone know when the next update/conclusion for torahikos route is going to be.
We just got finished with Tatsukis ending. And we cant lie that we were brought to tears! Everything from the characters, the art, the music, the feelings, just brings this dating sim to life. This is such a great way to pass time, and we will continue to play it and get different endings! We hope to see more updates in the future. But either way, this deserves a 5 star review and more.
