Dot's Home App Reviews

I cannot believe this game is free. I’m gonna make everyone I know play it. 11/10 storytelling

This is by far the most empowering game i've ever played. I love the story, and how this has multiple endings. But most importantly, this game sends a powerful message. What a great way to start off BHM!

“Dot’s Home” is a deeply impactful and thought-provoking mobile game that masterfully blends storytelling, history, and social awareness. Developed by the Detroit-based Rise-Home Stories Project, this narrative-driven game follows Dot, a young Black woman who embarks on a time-traveling journey to uncover the history of housing discrimination, racial inequity, and systemic injustices that have shaped her family’s past and present. With its rich storytelling, engaging gameplay, and educational si

This is amazing game and very well executed game I love it.

Dot’s home is a fun game about renting, homeownership, and home loans. Players decisions do have an effect on the stories conclusion. My favorite parts were the art style and newspaper clips.The game is can be finished in under 3 hours or less. An area for improvement would the pamphlets section. More guidance and flexibility to approach that aspect would have helpful. Overall it’s a fun game and educational. I recommend checking out.

Great story would love to hear more

It’s definitely for kids maybe 8 years and older that can understand and read not at 4 years old. It could be better. The outcome is the same. After I played twice that was it I deleted it. It has potential. Needs work. Could discuss how they saved and bought a house. Discuss fixed vs arm mortgage. Ect.

I love the fact that our MC is a natural-hair Black woman. The story has a lot of history and shows struggles that Black and Brown people have been through and continue to go through. While the game off to a great start, the gameplay is boring. There’s no purpose of the backpack items. You aren’t able to examine the deed. The dialogue doesn’t change regardless of your choices.

Apparently, I’m dumber than the average bear, at least when it comes to games. I don't understand *how* I’m supposed to do things and it kinda’ annoys me. How hard would it be to include very precise instructions? I understand what’s supposed to happen but have no idea how. This game gives me a brief look at some of the characters, a key being pulled from a pocket, a pathway, Grandma … I click on “new game” and go nowhere. Oh well. I just won’t play games.

This game is so fun I love how it was like a book/movie/novel pls make more if the series

I’m absolutely amazed with how thoughtful and sweet this was. It made me miss my grandma 🥲 it made me think of my grandparents I miss them both. I absolutely would play it again if it was longer.

this game is more about ethical choices than solving puzzles. It's a great opportunity to talk with young people about consequences and the ramifications of our actions. Graphics and soundtrack are great. I wish this was much much longer- would have been 5 stars.

super fun loved how im able to make my own choices. ive been searching for games like this for ever now thats i found it just makes me happy.and this game i sgreat for people who gets bored easily like me.

You did your big one with this one, it’s really underrated. 🩷

I finished this in about an hour or so. Needs more content. This is a great way for people to learn about what other cultures in their communities go through, and helps instill determination not to allow it to continue. Make more! Sooooo much more!❤️💯

This game does a great job at showing housing discrimination towards POC. It really makes you think about which choices to pick because there isn’t really a correct answer. It’s short and straight to the point. If you want a little insight about this topic then this is a great choice

This game is challenging and has a interesting storyline. It offer a lot of options.

So this game is like amazing! At the start it didin’t make sense to me, but than I started understanding the controls. It’s so fun. I finished half of the levels in 1 hour. I totally recommend to people who like adventures games.

This is a great game and really opened my eyes even further to what the African American community had/has to deal with. It’s honestly one of the games that I’ll remember for a while. Made me cry

I tloved that the concept of the game was very realistic, and educational. The only downside is that it felt like watching a movie, that ends as soon as you get to the really good part. I hope that eventually the creator comes back with a longer version.

I loved what the game was trying to accomplish and felt it did exactly what was intended. It made me think, I sat and thought about what decisions to make carefully because it made me think about my own position right now. The news was very insightful as well. I appreciated it and love the artwork as well. We should have more games like this to help educate our people on other topics as well.

The game is about some tough hitting history that is presented in an immersive and emotional setting. A must play! It would be interesting to see more history lessons in this format.

This game is so engaging and such a well written and interesting story. I loved it a lot. I wish it went on for longer! I restarted it as soon as i got to the end, hoping to look at how different decisions could shape up. Thank you for such a beautiful little game, please make more! This is amazing

The game was lovely. I loved everything… except the ending. This is honestly the shortest game I’ve ever played. I hope to see better content in the future.

Made it all the way to organizing posters and can’t get past it. Very fun game

I love the art,the plot,EVERYTHING

Pretty much what I expected. Give you no hope and no where to go. Just like white america.

The details in this story are immaculate. With the issues of Poc, and immigrants, amazing story line! 10/10👍

I am a person of color and after 5 minutes of playing this game I was very upset with this game. There is enough crap about racism being pushed. I do not want to see it in my games, cartoons, or movies. Idea and visuals are great but not thank you.

This game is playing along the lines of today's social media-driven narratives. Understanding what happened in history and how people ended up where they are today should be the foundation of this game. I see this game only reinforcing the negative bias in today's world and not providing value to those who want to progress meaningfully.
