We love anomaly games here at GZ, and when we caught wind of Home Alone Anomaly we were straight in to check out the game. It’s solid, but also can be pretty challenging. We’ve made this Home Alone Anomaly walkthrough to explain how to play it, as well as give you a guide to each of the game’s anomalies.
Home Alone Anomaly Walkthrough
The goal in Home Alone is to make it from midnight to 6am with your chores completed and sanity intact. You do this by completing the tasks on the board, and by making smart choices when someone knocks on the door. Use cues to work out if they are genuinely someone looking for help, or an anomaly trying to mess with you.
Sanity
Sanity is your health in Home Alone, more or less. If you let anomalous visitors in, or turn genuine people in need, you’ll lose Sanity. Some of the effects of Sanity loss includes:
- Darkening vision.
- Auditory hallucinations.
- The home degrading, with destroyed furniture and stained, graffiti-strewn walls.
There are a few items that can increase your Sanity, but we’ll cover those in the Items section.
Chores
One of the important parts of Home Alone is completing chores. You need to complete enough of them to meet the allowance quota on the board in the living room. These are selected randomly, with four available on a full list. Once you clear the list, it refreshes with a new set of chores. These do a good job of filling the gaps between visitors. (Oh we’ll get to those later, don’t you worry.) They’re pretty simple minigames, for the most part. Below we’ve listed all the ones we’ve run into.
- Make Coffee – Take the coffee packet on the kitchen island and head to the coffee maker in the kitchen. Interact with the coffee maker, and hit the arrow buttons to raise or lower the needle on the dial. You need to get the needle in the green zone. After that you can leave it to finish brewing.
- Clear Spider Webs – Find the spider webs from each of the doorways in the house by holding to interact with them.
- Clean The Windows – Interact with each window in the living room and hall, then click repeatedly to clean off the dirt.
- Water The Plants – Pick up the watering can from the front living room corner and interact with several plants. There are three in the living room, one in the hallway, and two in the bathroom.
- Do The Dishes – Take each dish off the kitchen island and transfer the plate to the sink. Once in the sink, click repeatedly to wash the dish. Once it’s done, repeat with the other dishes in the stack until you’re done.
- Clean The Kitchen – Take the squirt bottle off the kitchen island and interact with four stains around the kitchen. (If you’re stuck, check the chairs against the island, and the fridge.)
- Clean Your Room – Go to your room and interact with the crayons and toys on the floor, then tap to place them in the toy box.
- Clean Your Parents’ Room – Why aren’t they cleaning their own room? Still, you need to pick up the clothes on the floor and then tap to place them in the laundry basket.
- Cook Tomorrow’s Lunch – Take the pan off the kitchen island and place it on the stove. Place the pasta in the pan. Then you need to keep tapping to keep the dial for the stove in the green zone until the pasta is cooked. Once you’ve done that, interact with the fridge to put it away.
Visitors
Visitors will show up at the door throughout the night and ask for your help. Some are just regular people that need assistance, but some have sinister motivations. You need to use the info available to you to try and figure out if there is something off about them. If they seem legit, interact with the door to let them in
