How it plays
How does Sweet Home play?
The player explores Mamiya Mansion from an overhead perspective, moving between rooms, corridors, gardens, and underground areas. The five protagonists are divided into groups, and progress depends on finding keys, solving environmental puzzles, examining frescoes, and using character-specific tools.
Random encounters lead to turn-based battles against ghosts, creatures, and other spirits. Each character carries limited items, while the party can split up or reunite at fixed points. Permanent death matters: a fallen character cannot be revived, and the ending changes according to who survives. Save points are placed throughout the mansion.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Sweet Home?
Keep the party together when entering dangerous new rooms, but split characters only when a puzzle or item requirement demands it. Protect Akiko because her healing role reduces the cost of long expeditions.
Search every room and examine suspicious objects before discarding items. Save frequently, conserve healing supplies, and remember that permanent character death can lock out later events or endings. Carry essential tools between groups rather than leaving them in an inaccessible room.
