You play as a middle-school girl returning to the home her family recently moved into, where unsettling events begin to unfold. The experience focuses on atmosphere, exploration and story clues rather than action.
What is Okaeri about?
Chilla’s Art’s Steam listing sets the opening at 6 p.m.: a middle-school girl comes home to find unexpected events taking place. The story centers on the girl and her mother, who have recently moved to a new house. The exact-title game covered here is Okaeri by Chilla’s Art; it is not the separate work Tadaima, Okaeri.
Steam describes it as a Japanese psychological horror game with a VHS-style visual treatment, native Japanese voice acting and a focus on collecting clues about the story. The listing characterizes the gameplay as primarily like a “walking simulator,” so expect narrative exploration rather than action-led play.
How long does Okaeri take to finish?
Steam’s listing reports that testers played for about 20–40 minutes. Treat that as the store’s approximate tester estimate, not a guaranteed completion time; an individual run may vary.
