A Home Far Away is a freeware game that tells the story of [[You Can't Go Home Again|two siblings who get lost and must find their way back home]]. Cue an onslaught of [[Cloudcuckoolander|weird characters]] and [[Irrelevant Sidequest|sidequests]] that [[Love It or Hate It|could feel like a burden at times.]] But those who have played it to the end, find the ending scenes [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|immensely rewarding]].

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: We get to see {{spoiler|all the small changes you made to Willow Town. What makes it touching is that, combined, they seem to be a great change altogether. Then we cut to Farrah's funeral decades later and Danais telling his granddaughter about the adventure.}}
