A pearl of gaming history, a world-saving endeavor that united all humanity, and the hottest game of the past century: Homebound.
When it first came out, not a single gaming website thought it would succeed. The game could only be shared through school forums and Weibo, and its creator was mocked as "a delusional dreamer who boasts about saving the world!"

"How do you get water lily seeds?"
"Looking for a neighbor! You can visit and trade food. If rare seeds drop, we split them fifty-fifty."
