Parents' Home — The Attic

Your childhood bedroom, frozen in time

📖 Location Story

After life in the big city doesn't go as planned, you return to your small hometown. The first space you restore is the attic of your parents' home — dusty, forgotten, but full of warm memories. Yellowed wallpaper peels from the walls, autumn leaves drift through the cracked window, and the old floorboards are grey with grime. This is where your journey begins.

🗺️ Hozy Parents' Home — The Attic — Full Overview

The Parents' Home attic is Hozy's tutorial level. It introduces all four core tools — squeegee, mop, paint roller, and the trash-collection hands mechanic. There are no wrong choices here. The task checklist in the top-right corner tracks your progress, but you can complete tasks in any order. Most players spend 15–25 minutes here on their first run. After you finish and take a photo (press Spacebar to open photo mode), the game transitions to the world map, revealing the next location.

✅ All Tasks

  • Collect all scattered trash from the floor and shelves
  • Clean the left and right windows with the squeegee
  • Mop the wooden floor until it shines
  • Paint the left wall and right wall with the roller
  • Unpack furniture boxes and arrange the room freely

💡 Pro Tips

  • Start by collecting all trash before using any cleaning tools — this prevents objects blocking your mop path.
  • Open the window after cleaning it to hear ambient outdoor sounds; autumn leaves will drift in, adding atmosphere but not creating new mess.
  • The paint roller runs out — bring the whole tray closer to the wall before you start to save time refilling.
  • Furniture can be rotated freely; hold an item and use the mouse wheel to spin it before placing.
  • Use the 'park' zone near the stairs to temporarily store items you're unsure about — nothing is permanent until you finish the level.
