I Expect You To Die: Home Sweet Home

I Expect You To Die: Home Sweet Home is a mixed-reality (MR) escape room experience developed by Schell Games. Unlike the main trilogy, which takes place in fully virtual environments, Home Sweet Home utilizes passthrough technology to transform the player's physical home into a secret agent's lab. Built on the Unity engine, the game tasks players with disarming a deadly Zoraxis delivery that has arrived in their own living room. By overlaying digital traps and gadgets onto real-world surfaces, the experience blends the physical and digital worlds, allowing players to stay present in their surroundings while solving high-stakes puzzles.

How does Home Sweet Home differ from the main I Expect You To Die games?

The main trilogy (1, 2, and 3) are Virtual Reality (VR) games that transport you to a digital world. Home Sweet Home is a Mixed Reality (MR) experience. It uses the cameras on your headset to show you your real room, then "augments" it with digital secret agent equipment, traps, and hidden compartments.

What is the story premise?

You are an agent recovering at home after a mission. However, the evil Zoraxis organization has sent a dangerous "care package" to your house. You must use your wits and the gadgets hidden within the package to disarm the traps before they destroy your home.

Do I need a lot of space to play?

No. Like the rest of the series, it is designed to be played in a limited area. However, because it is MR, the game "scans" your room to ensure that digital objects appear to sit correctly on your real tables or hang from your real walls.

Which headsets support this game?

The portfolio specifically highlights its use of Meta Quest Passthrough technology. It is available for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, and Meta Quest 3, with the Quest 3 providing the highest fidelity color passthrough.

Is this a full-length game or a shorter experience?

Home Sweet Home was designed as a bite-sized, free-to-play mission. It serves as both a technical demonstration of what Mixed Reality can do and a "thank you" to the fans of the franchise.

Can I still use my telekinetic (TK) powers?

Yes. The signature TK mechanic from the main series is present here, allowing you to manipulate digital objects that are placed across your room without having to physically walk over to them.
