For You That Like Artistic Games

Let me start by saying: if you like the kind of games with emotional stories, then don't listen to the haters, this IS a masterpiece. It's true that this is like Dear Esther, more an interactive experience than a game, but that's not a weakness at all. It's a short experience and the story is not "deep", but that isn't a weakness either. This game really shines in it's details. The story is set in 1995, and each and every pixel is designed to reflect that age, from the books and the snes, to smaller details like the stereograms (wich I found an excellent small touch). True the story is not too deep, but the game guides you through it with excactly the pace it needs to. Also, the story is solid and well written, is way too real (if a little unbelievable), from the sister's speech to the reactions of every character. It really touched me. From all this you may understand why there's a lot of bad reviews to this game, mostly from people who looked for something else here, and didn't understand what this was all about. If you cried with games like Life is Strange or To The Moon, then give this a try. If you're looking for anything else, look somewhere else.

A beautiful, LGBTQ+ love story

I honestly absolutely adored this game; it gave me a huge roller coaster of emotions in a good way, from suspense to adoration to concern to absolute joy. I enjoyed the love story and how it was both a sort of teenage crisis (especially given it takes place in the 90's) and a coming out story. I also loved the 90's vibe and references; I had a lot of my childhood rush back to me while playing, and that was definitely something that I enjoyed, plus the music in game was AMAZING. I really hope it's available elsewhere as well, I'd love to listen to it again when I can. The only major critique I have is the story of the main character and her sister's uncle; while I understand it was supposed to show how it was harder for Sam to meet people in their new home, I felt that was the only part of the game that fell flat; I believe if that was either pursued a little more (perhaps given more of an explanation on why he was thought to be crazy and more about him as well) or completely dropped for the most part, I think this game would have elevated itself to a hit LGBTQ+ game. Overall, very enjoyable, and I highly recommend it to people who want a sweet, touching story and to fellow LGBTQ+ community members!

Home is where your heart is

As a twenty-something coming home for the first time after a eurotrip, you have to basically snoop around and play detective in your own house, unearthing again the meaning of "uncanny" ("unheimlich" in german - when your house in not your own anymore). Between being a voyeur and honestly wanting to know what your family's been up to and if they're in danger, you're made to feel guilt, curiosity and wonder. You're like a small child again, rediscovering a house where too much has changed. The game is really clever about this. The way it tells its story through contextual clues - a crumpled piece of paper, a book shamefully hidden inside a cupboard near a bottle of whiskey - is something I wish more games would do, and it's not only about picking up and reading everything - I feel that the gamers who did this and complained about the monotony of the action missed this point - but also about observing WHERE you found the objects, and what they tell about what happened in the house. Of course, there are drawbacks. I think I've never seen a house with so many GODDMAN PENCILS AND ERASERS AND CUPS and being a conscencious gamer, you just have to pick up everything, is case there's a clue plastered somewhere. Making every cup and pencil an interactive object but not, say, plants, furniture or rugs is a strange choice and I can't really see the design decision behind it. Similarly, as in any "apocalyptic log" story (like the recordings found in Bioshock, etc) expect to roll your eyes once or twice at the convenience of finding deeply personal letters and documents just lying around for you to be able to read them. Anyway, it was, at the time, a groundbreaking game in terms of environmental storytelling and handling some difficult themes. I feel that gamers going into it thinking it's some sort of detective story with a super clever "twist" will probably be disappointed. As Sam says in one of her logs, and as it goes in most families - "I think you've always known".

Good but..

I liked it. I had a great time finishing this in one go, it felt a little bit like a movie. If I had to find a comparison I would say it's a little bit like Life is Strange, but not near as deep. I had fun reading every little thing I found, though I disliked the fact that the story progess through "checkpoints" more than with what you read. In the end, all that you read only give information on the backstory of the family. Anyway, a fun trip overall, but I'm happy I paid less than 5€ for it; with the full price I would have expected a lot more. I mean, again, Life is Strange is almost the same price and look at what you get..

Visual Appeal

I'm not sure this should be called a game, it's more of a visual novel (no, not comics). I initially went into this thinking it was a horror game. I later realized Gone Home is nothing more than a visual novel. Which I thought was interesting, but I'd only play it once. What really held my attention the most was nostalgia. Hearing and seeing many things representing the 90's was great. However, this is where most of my interest in the visual novel was. The story, I thought, was average and predictable, with too much focus on one character - the sister. I would have liked to enjoy hearing some dialogue from the parents, even the main character - especially to comment on things seen in the environment. I think I would have liked to have seen Gone Home as a choose your own adventure game - in which some choices or objects would affect the outcome of the story. Gone Home gets the three stars from me for the nostalgia factor. The environment is pleasing to look at and well designed I think (though it may look different to me because I thought it was a horror game, at first). Actually, I think it could have been a pretty good horror game. One without the presence of some killer, or demon who is hunting you. Because I thought it was a horror game I was always fearing the sister's fate. As a horror game, or rather visual novel Gone Home might have succeeded, but as it is it's just a three dimensional, digital book. I would recommend Gone Home, only, if you want to read a book without actually reading.
