Gone Home

Not a game

I do not really understand why this product is associated with the category "adventure games". There is no real puzzle to solve, one only wanders in an empty house while a story unfolds, triggered by minimal interaction with the environment (to be fair, you also have to find out two combinations, but that's all for the puzzle department). All the touches which might seem to allude to something dark and dangerous (the empty house at night, the hidden passages, the occult symbols, the references to the crazy relative) resolve to nothing. At the end, you realize you could have achieved the same experience by tiding up your own apartment/house for two hours with an audio book in the background. I understand that there are people who appreciate a product like that, but do not call or present it as a game, this is simply misleading.
