The young protagonist, left alone at home and responsible for defending the house.
How it plays
How does Home Alone play?
The player controls Kevin while defending the family home against Harry and Marv. The objective is to endure the burglars' attacks and keep them from successfully completing their robbery.
Play centers on moving through the house, finding objects, and using defensive devices or other available tools. Progress is structured around surviving the threat and managing the home's spaces rather than building a character through experience levels.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Home Alone?
Explore the house before committing to a defense so you know where useful objects and routes are located.
Use the environment to delay the burglars, preserve safe movement paths, and avoid relying on a single defensive method. Pay attention to timing, because allowing the burglars to advance unchecked can quickly end the attempt.
