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.

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.

Short And Simple

Point and click as well as walking simulators is some of the games I hate most in this world, so this ain't for me and I have to score it accordingly. However..It's short and doesn't look half bad, I'd say it's a perfect introduction to the genre, short and simple.

Overrated

This game took me 20 minuets to beat and the story was bland and boring. The puzzles were overly simplistic and the dialog was corny. THIS IS NOT WORTH 20 DOLLARS.

Not worth the money

Appealing story, but it's too short, way too linear and everything is handed to you on a silver-plate. Basically, you do not need to look for secrets, secret rooms, codes etc. It will be handed to you, crystal clear before you even notice it. Decent story, but more worth a novel than to be in a game like with, with such limited game play which only takes about a 1½ to complete on first try.

Illogical house exploration simulator

I'm not going to say much in regards to the ostensible heartfelt teenage love story going on in this "game". I'm not even going to talk about the marital disorder going on with the protagonist's parents - something 99.99% of reviews have overlooked in favour of the ooh-aah lesbian candyland. No, this "game" is very much like another "game" that was released recently - Dear Esther. They have a lot in common, these two "games". Both are largely non-interactive, short and not so sweet, non-entities. Wander around and the story unfolds - or something like that. You pay your money (and I hope you don't pay more than $5 for this - I was dumb and paid $17) and you've got two hours tops of walking around what has to be the most absurdly and nonsensically designed house I've seen in any game outside the horror genre. I mean seriously...this is a "game" set in the everyday 90s America - not Tamriel, not Transylvania, not Equestria, not Middle Earth. Yet, about 40% of this house is hidden behind secret doors. Say what? What ordinary, workaday, Middletown American lives in a twenty room house that follows no logical architectural plan known to mankind, where there are secret doors and passageways everywhere? Yet this crazy aspect of Gone Home does not really factor into the game. If I was a 19 year old girl coming home to a sprawling madhouse that has x amount of secret rooms and passageways, I'd be phoning the cops. No, you happily walk around this bizarre place without making any comment as if it's the most natural thing to do. Shit, everyone I know lives in a weird mansion/bungalow with secret rooms and corridors, what about you?
