You arrive home after a year abroad. You expect your family to greet you, but the house is empty. Something's not right. Where is everyone? And what's happened here? Unravel the mystery for yourself in Gone Home, a story exploration game from The Fullbright Company.

Gone Home is an interactive exploration simulator. Interrogate every detail of a seemingly normal house to discover the story of the people who live there. Open any drawer and door. Pick up objects and examine them to discover clues. Uncover the events of one family's lives by investigating what they've left behind.

Go Home Again.
  • A Personal Story: created by veterans of the BioShock series and the writer behind Minerva's Den, Gone Home offers the rich, nuanced details of one family's struggles to deal with uncertainty, heartache, and change.
  • An Immersive Place: return to the 1990s by visiting a home where every detail has been carefully recreated, and the sounds of a rainstorm outside wrap you in the experience.
  • No Combat, No Puzzles: Gone Home is a nonviolent and puzzle-free experience, inviting you to play at your own pace without getting attacked, stuck, or frustrated. This house wants you to explore it.
  • Fully Interactive Investigation: discover what's happened to the Greenbriars by examining a house full of the family's personal possessions, and the notes and letters they've left behind. Use your powers of observation to piece together a story that unfolds as you explore.

Gone Home® is copyright The Fullbright Company LLC, 2013.

Nostalgia simulator

This is one of those "you can never go home again" indie games that's all about invoking the feels. I had the benefit of randomly plucking this out of my PS+ library and going into it with no expectations which possibly worked in it's favor as I later found out that there was a lot of controversy with how the game was marketed. While generally not a fan of walking simulators this one resonated with me. The game does heavily rely on being emotionally connected to the experience of being a kid in the 90's and if that's not you then it probably won't click the same way.

Honestly a Bad Game

Not because of the story, not because of the gameplay. The game plays itself like some sort of first person graphic adventure, ala Myst, but with no riddles, no great atmosphere, no great soundtrack and, basically, no fun. The story revolves entirely around one single fact which becomes pretty clear by the first half of the game (that is after 30 minutes, as it is very short). Graphically is pretty good, but absolutely not great: simple textures and a lot of things reduced to their most basical geometric shape. It gives a good vibe, but it obviously feel very "incomplete". In the end it's a sort of 1-hour-long ride which tries to teach you a lesson you already learned soon after it started. And, I reapeat, there's nothing funny nor enjoyable and this is the first and utmost basical thing: this game doesn't entertain. And a game which doesn't entertain it's, very simply, a bad, bad game.

Easy, short, non-game

Gone Home is essentially an interactive story. And it is a very anticlimactic and unsatisfying story. It has the appearance of an adventure game without any real adventure. You basically trash your parents' house looking for clues about your family and what may or may not have recently happened that may or may not be interesting or compelling. At first, you feel like you are going to have an immersive experience, but the thinness of the story emerges quickly, and the flatness of the game play leads to disinterest quickly. It is mercifully short. I paid full price when this game first came out to amazing critical reviews. It was truly a waste of money. The music albums that come with the game are all abysmal and unlistenable. There are many more interesting adventure games here on GOG. Stay clear of this one.
