Game Overview
A boarded-up house becomes the last line of defense when relentless zombie hordes trace you back to your hiding place. Stay Home is a compact first-person survival shooter built around blunt force, loud weapons, and the pressure of being cornered with nowhere safe to retreat. Its tone is unapologetically grimy and arcade-like: the undead keep coming, ammunition and firepower determine your odds, and survival means turning every room into a killing ground.
Matches revolve around holding defensive positions across four available zones while waves of zombies attempt to overwhelm you. Shots to heads and limbs emphasize gory dismemberment, but tougher enemies demand stronger hardware, encouraging players to make every purchase count. Killing the undead earns zombie dollars, which feed directly into a weapon-buying loop: survive a wave, build your arsenal, then face a larger and deadlier crowd. Solo play frames the action as an endurance challenge, while online co-op lets a group cover entrances, share the chaos, and prolong a doomed stand together.
What separates Stay Home from more elaborate zombie shooters is its stripped-down focus on static defense rather than sprawling quests or open-world scavenging. The enclosed locations make positioning important, since teammates can watch separate approaches and heavy weapons become essential once the swarm thickens. There is a satisfying simplicity to its score-chasing survival structure, although players looking for story depth, varied objectives, or a huge selection of maps may find its scope limited. Fans of the wave-based pressure of Call of Duty Zombies and the co-op panic of Left 4 Dead should appreciate its direct, low-friction approach, especially if they want a short session of undead target practice with friends.
