'Home is Where the Heart is' (HiWtHi) is a survival horror visual novel in which the choices you make determine the fates of the three love interests. You play as Doe (name and pronouns customisable), a person who has been trapped in this house for longer than you can remember. It's only when three uninvited guests arrive do you see your first hope of escape. But, whoever trapped you here doesn't treat your newfound friends as kindly as they do you. Will you do all you can to help any of the LIs survive until the end? Or will you be the one to sabotage them, taking the side of your mysterious captor... who may be closer than you think?

You've been trapped in this house for as long as you can remember with only your name as a sign of your forgotten past. You can't leave, for the doors never open and the windows never break, and you'd have said you were complete alone, if you weren't certain that someone else has been coming and going when you couldn't see. Somehow you always have food. Always have clean clothes. You want for nothing. Except to leave. Then one day, the front door opens, and in come three strangers in stranger clothing. Now you're all trapped here together, except, whoever trapped you here isn't as friendly to your newfound friends as it has been to you. Do you side with your friends? Exploring the parts of the house you never dared to before, and hope you can find a way to escape? Or do you side with your captor? The one who may end up being closer than you realised? Protecting you from the rest of the world? Who will survive to the end with you?
