From the Kickstarter page:

The protagonist of HomeMake has always been the city. The game began by trying to represent a continuously changing city that adapts and morphs to each unique user. The design of the city has been in our minds since we were children; a city that is fantastical with a cyberpunk edge. We want it be as sublime as possible, mixing nostalgic suburban landscapes with futuristic urban boroughs.

The city is situated on an inverted sphere, providing an endless playing field without the traditional environmental tropes that stall one’s exploration. Traditional mapping is impossible as the city is always reforming, the only way to unlock the secrets of the city is start an adventure and explore.

The celebrity must escape to their limo with a shred of dignity remaining. They’ve got to dash behind buildings and crowds and collect the praise of adoring fans if their dignity dives too low.

You can also help this game by supporting it on Steam Greenlight.
