Hab das Spiel viel zu lange vor mir hergeschoben. Es ist ein kleines Schmuckstück. Ja Walking Simulator, d.h. man sucht sich die Story selbst zurecht und vielleicht auch nicht in der besten Reihenfolge, aber die Erzählweise ist hier gut getroffen. Wir spielen eine Tochter/Schwester, die zurück nach Hause kommt (deswegen der Namensgebende Titel). Wir finden ein leeres Haus vor und eine Nachricht, das wir uns nicht wundern sollen und auch nicht alles absuchen sollen. Naja, dann wäre das Spiel an der Stelle schon vorbei :) also suchen wir natürlich. Wir finden Stck für Stck viel über die Eltern und die Schwester heraus. Über die Eltern in Form von Textstücken und Büchern überall im Haus verteilt und über die Schwester durch eine Art Audiolog/Tagebuch, die sie uns hinterlässt.

Spoiler: Die Geschichte die sich dadurch ergibt ist die einer lesbischen Beziehung und die Nichtakzeptanz der Eltern und die dadurch hervorgerufene Flucht der Schwester. Spoiler Ende!

In gut zwei Stunden ist man mit der Story durch, wer auf entschleunigte Erzählweise, lesen und Walking Simulatoren steht, der wird mit Gone Home definitiv nichts falsch machen. Ich fands toll.

Eine schöne Geschichte über ein Mädchen, dass ihren Weg finden muss - schön erzählt über Tagebucheinträge, die ihre große Schwester findet.

Und das Ende war wirklich gut und hatte einen tollen Plottwist - zum Glück :3

★ Worum geht’s? ★
Wir spielen Katie, eine junge Frau, die nach langer Zeit von ihrer Reise zurück nach Hause kommt. Sie entdeckt, dass ihre Familie nicht da ist und wandert durch das Haus auf der Suche nach Hinweisen, die das Verschwinden ihrer Familie erklären.

★ Positiv ★
➝ die Geschichte ist recht interessant und hat eine emotionale Botschaft (ohne zu viel zu spoilern)
➝ die Umgebung (das Herrenhaus) ist liebevoll und sehr detailreich gestaltet und es gibt viel zu entdecken (Audionachrichten, Notizen, Tagebucheinträge, uvm.)
➝ Grafik ist insgesamt gut gelungen

★ Neutral-Negativ ★
➝ sehr kurzes Spielerlebnis (hab es in ca. 3-4 Stunden durchgespielt, inkl. aller Errungenschaften), was sich auch in der Qualität der Geschichte widerspiegelt

★Weiterempfehlung mit Einschränkung ★
Ein nettes Spiel, was ich mit Einschränkung, weiterempfehlen würde: Für diejenigen, die entspannte Walking Simulatoren mögen, ist das Spiel (wenn es denn z.B. im Sale ist) eine nette Investition für ein kurzes Spielvergnügen. Alle, die sich ein spannendes Spielerlebnis wünschen könnten evtl. enttäuscht werden.

I bought this game, because I found it among the list of games similar to Edith Finch, Firewatch and Oxenfree (all amazing games!!), and get why one might place it in this category.

But unlike these mentioned games, this one just bored me. All you do is walk around and read letters and notes to piece your families story together. Which is not even a great story (maybe except for the sister's story)!

Don't bother with this game. It's truly just a waste of time and money.

Non spoiler review: Look, this is a well made adult story based game that deals with fairly heavy issues. I feel Adults will generally respect what is being done here. And it's very very good.Took about two hours to play through entirely, and that's how long I wanted it to take - I didn't really want to get stuck in a game like this.

I am fine with walking simulators as long as there is interesting stuff happening or a mystery to solve. This game felt like a boring house tour and lacked any substantial story.

People who rank on games like this over gameplay, or length, or, the fact it didn't get them laid
like, it's a walking simulator, WALKING SIMULATOR, you play it when you're burnt out, and life has hit you pretty hard lately, and just enjoy the journey. If you want more, go play lol till some 14 year old spams the f word at you till you rage quit.

Gone Home começa despretensiosamente e conforme você avança a história vai tomando cada vez mais forma. Mistérios, alegrias, tristesa, tudo isso presente em uma pequena caminhada pela casa de seus pais que há alguns anos você não via.
O jogo é focado na busca de informações para entender o que aconteceu na casa e no tempo em que você esteve fora. Há mistérios interessantes e muita emoção. Pode se dizer que há alguns puzzles para serem resolvidos antes de prosseguir, mas nada muito complexo.

An exploration on how our lives are reflected in the most mundane of things. Most of this game is just looking at stuff, and reading text, but this game is all about the stuff. Digging through a trash can for example might tell you something about a person that they themselves wouldn't tell you directly, or looking at which order someone sorts their books, or where they put their clothes and so on. The game itself isn't challenging, but if you want to dig deep there are a lot of subtle clues that can tell you a bigger story about non-main characters.
If this sounds interesting to you, try it out.

I wasn't really a fan of the story all that much. I do really like walking sims, but they usually have to be really extraordinary from the story side to be actually really interesting and worth playing. Sadly this one fell short. I did get a few hours of enjoyment out of it though, even if it was not all 100%. I guess if you like walking simulators, you should check this out yourself, maybe the story will be interesting for you??

This game isn’t offensively bad, but it isn’t good either. Walking sims only have one thing that makes or breaks them, this being the story. And the story here is just… boring. Really not worth the asking price in the slightest.

I'm really torn because I found the story of this game quite moving by the end and I felt compelled by the mystery. But goTdamn I felt like I was moving through quicksand? IDK if there was just something wrong with my settings, but I feel like the game forced me to move at pace of a snail through the house and it made me want 2 sCrEaM.

anyways, here 4 punk rock lesbians & 90s chunky wood furniture lmao
Would I recommend this? I'm not sure. I think it would be fine to just read the storyline or listen to the voice acting? I don't know if it was special enough for me to not have just spent the time watching a queer film instead. Eventually I got tired of opening cabinets...

p.s. mom's getting freaky with Rick the Ranger?!?!?!

This game is not designed to straight male players. This game is about empathy. You do not have to kill anyone or save the world. You just have to imagine yourself a 17 year old queer girl and seems like it's very hard for some people.

TLDR: One of the seminal modern exploration games, Gone Home still provides an immersive experience into the life of a 90s adolescent. [17/20⭐, 7h????, 1/5????]

I played Gone Home back when it came out, and despite its flaws, it introduced me to that new kind of adventure exploration games that was beginning to emerge at the time. Like many players, back then I went after the buzz and didn’t have any particular expectations about the gameplay and plot. Expecting a regular adventure game and getting a “walking simulator” can already disappoint a lot of people. A story resembling a murder/mystery turning out to be a coming-of-age story, made people frustrated (which was my case) and even angry. Revisiting it now without those unfunded expectations, I still think the developers took a risk hinting at a mystery setting and then not delivering [spoiler](I mean, not even the side-story regarding mysterious uncle gets any closure)[/spoiler]. But in general, it’s clear from the start that it’s not that kind of game.

In Gone Home, the player essentially explores a mansion looking for clues about whereabouts of PC’s sister and family. Gameplay allows you to interact and inspect most items spread throughout the house, but there isn’t any kind of obstacles or puzzles to solve [spoiler](Case in point: one of the achievements is to finish the game in under a minute)[/spoiler]. The best thing about the game is how detailed and credible the mansion’s rooms are. Even if the story is not your cup of tea, exploring the house is rewarding by itself, with all the minor items contributing to the idea that the house is inhabited by real people. (And of course, bonus nostalgic points if you’ve lived through the 90s!) If I had to point out an issue that breaks the credibility of the game, is that the way Gone Home exposes the main story points is not very organic [spoiler](I mean, how many love letters can you have spread throughout a house?)[/spoiler], an issue that has been elegantly solved in the 2017 Tacoma by the same team.

The voice acting is pretty good, the diegetic music based on the riot grrrl punk movement is great, and the incidental music is also spot on, all contributing to an immersive experience.

The first time i played this I had a hard time getting into it after about an hour and stopped playing for a few years. Came back to it after people told me to try it again and enjoyed it a lot more. The movement is a little clunky and there's not much in the game other than story as you'd expect other than some collectables and some interesting director's commentary. The achievements made the game more worthwhile playing for me, and the speedrunning ones were fun although fairly easy once you plan the route you're going to take.

------------------------------
Completionist Review:
Rating: Fairly easy to 100% with a few runs, the game isn't very long.
Can be completed in one run: No, certain achievements need modifiers that disable other achievements. Minimum 4 runs would be needed if you include your first casual run.
Chapter Select: No, but it doesn't need it.

As a game artist working in the industry I try not to write harsh reviews, I will just say I liked the idea, art and design but the story wasn't anything special to me, I didn't feel anything at all. I couldn't relate to anything, Maybe it's because I'm not American, or a girl, or a lesbian or a teenager.

So I will just drop this one before finishing.

Also what's up with those thicc doors?

A decent narrative game that tells a heartfelt little story with minimalist game mechanics (the whole time is spent exploring the setting, a house in '90s USA, and picking up notes). The visuals are pretty and the voice acting's great. Total amount of play time isn't long - most people will probably finish this in around 2 hours or so (if you're taking the time to explore every nook and cranny). Well worth trying out if you like this kind of game!

Played it before I new I was a gay gal, and it made me cry and feel things I couldn't describe. Played it again now, with about 8 years more context and life experience, and I cried even more - this game is so beautiful and Sam is such a relatable (and perfectly voice acted) character, it just cuts deep (also she has the same name as me that's cool!).

It dawned on me that this is the first piece of lesbian fiction that I really engaged and connected with, I think it may have been the first game to make me cry and hit me so emotionally. This is a special game, even more special to me personally, thank god for Fullbright.

I may have gotten very attached to a duck you find in one of the first cupboards on the patio.

Good 'ol Christmas Duck

I took him through the entire game, start to finish. Got so attached to him I forgot about the conspiracy stuff, and only focused on him and the cute gay stuff.

His name was Benson. And I love him.

Great game! Wonderful story that is well written and well told! Graphics are also great, and the commentary track is worth playing through not only for the achievement. The voice actors also really delivers the goods! It's just quality all over.

Would absolutely recommend this game 100% for anyone whom enjoy those stories that just pull on your heart strings!

Achievements: Took me about 7 hours to 100%, but it's definitely possible to do it faster - especially if you don't go in blind, like I did. There are two very different speedrun achievements, and they're actually rather easy if you know what to do. I was able to get both on my second tries, and I'm by no means any speedrunner. So you should be able to do these as well!

This is a game that will stick with me for a very long time... I remember watching Markiplier (or whoever) play this game and i couldn't remember what it was about for the life of me, Hell i thought it was a horror game (can you blame me?)... I found it while browsing the steam store and got excited, and bought it right away. I'll be honest, I only payed attention to Sam's story, I'm pretty sure there are a few other things to discover but I think its some conspiracy theory mumbo-jumbo. My overall thoughts were that this was just a cool & cliche 90s love story. Definitely a favourite of mine

A nice story game , that you can play tru on 4 hours game time. the story is nice and has some funny twist , that shock you a bit. the game is really good when it comes to story and how effect is in the game... just sometimes hard to search for clues.. but that also make it more exiting .... when you need to enter places you not really want to go.

Ich fühlte Scham in Gone Home, als mir klar wurde, dass ich gerade die Unterwäscheschubladen meiner Eltern durchsuchte – das ist außerordentlich, bedenkt man, mit wie wenig Rücksicht auf Intimsphäre man als Videospieler sonst agiert. Dies ist keine vielschichtige Parabel, kein bedeutungsschwangerer und tiefschürfend interpretierbarer Mindfuck, sondern eine Sammlung sehr kleiner, einfacher Geschichten. Geschichten über Autoren, was bei Stephen King irgendwann wack und lazy wirkte, hier aber total gut funktioniert, zumal ich Geschichten über Kreative so viel spannender finde als Geschichten über Spione/Soldaten/Wissenschaftler. Und zu guter Letzt findet sich hier die beste Spielmechanik des Jahres: Die Möglichkeit, den gerade aus dem Schrank gezerrten Gegenstand fein säuberlich wieder zurückzutun. So befriedigend.

Very short, gameplay almost non-existent, clues easy to find, very tough achievements.
Still here? Good, because despite this this game has a very nice story told by memories. And it may lead towards many interpretation of its final. I like to think the real way is the best possible way, but i'm a deep romantic, so try to understand me. This game then touches 2 subjects very personal to me, living abroad far from my family and.. the other one, that you'll understand in the game.
Cute voice in the narration.
I approve this game, it's cute, take it on sale

Gone Home is a meaningful game with a realistic and painful story. It controls well with both a keyboard and mouse, and a gamepad. I suspect that the story resonates more with people who have either experienced similar things to Sam or Katie, or are close to people that have. The sound design is interesting, because from the perspective of a player, it seems pretty simple, but the rain in the background and the cassette tapes scattered around help contribute the environment. The letters from Sam are very carefully designed, both in how her voice sounds, and in the music behind them, which has subtle differences for different letters.

The default settings do have the house very dark, even with the lights on, which is inconvenient, but can be changed in the settings. A harder thing to work around is doors and drawers not opening or closing fully if Katie is too close. This is intended to make it feel more realistic, but because in real life one can just move out of the way and finish opening it, it removed some of the immersion for me.

Even with the flaws, I found this game to be well worth the money because while it is no necessarily a lengthy game, it is an entertaining and valuable game.

Gone Home is one of the first walking simulators that proved that such a thing could be worth playing. If you've ever wanted to snoop around a strange family's house and learn the story of their lives from the stuff they've left around, this is exactly that. It's remarkable how well they've told the story in this game using just objects and a few voice-overs.

What it feel likes coming back to the childhood home? (Teenage drama), that's the answer Gone Home did give from it's experience and that our homes are packed with all kinds of trash.

Overall it starts promising, but is basically a house tour with uninteresting story behind it. House tour walking simulator with teenage drama mystery. Not to say walking sims usually are much to anything, but this felt like it was just nice location and that's it.

Gone Home has come a long way since it was released. When it first came out it ran horribly on Linux and happily I can say that is no longer the case. It will be tough to talk a lot about the plot of Gone Home without spoiling it so I will simply say I enjoyed the story and liked how it was presented. You arrive home after catching a late flight to an empty house and trying to figure out where your sister is. Your parents are also not home but that is more of a side story. You have to explore the house trying to find clues. When you find certain ones it triggers a audio journal from your sister. You can also learn a lot about your parents lives and that of your late uncle if you dig around enough. I liked the form of many of the clues such as crumpled pieces of paper; diaries; letters; etc. You will have to find combinations to many locks as well as keys. It is a little convoluted at times as you will have to start finding wall panels to tear off and secret passages, I can’t imagine the cleanup after I was done searching. The game really nails the nostalgia of the 90’s well. It takes place in 1995 and I can say they hit on many things I remember doing back then. The music is also great for the time period. One thing I will also mention is that, while the game is not a horror game, it did a great job having some creepy horror vibes at times. There are times where between the rain storm going on outside; the creaky floor boards; and the music that I expected things to take a grim turn. The graphics are mediocre to decent. The object detail such as furniture; appliances; etc were decent to good. The shadows and lighting were a little sub par but not terrible.

I played Gone Home on Linux. It never crashed on me and I didn’t notice any bugs or glitches. There is an AF toggle; an AA toggle; an AO toggle; a Vsync toggle; an FOV slider that went from 60-90 and 3 other graphics options. The games save system is to save on exit and there is just the one save slot. Alt-tab didn’t work. I did find the mouse movement to be a little funky where it felt slow and unresponsive at times but normal at others. This didn’t seem to correspond to a frame rate issue as that was always 60+ FPS. The game seemed to use 100% of my GPU for much of my play through, which given the detail level seemed odd, but the performance was great.

Game Engine: Unity
Graphics API: OpenGL
Save System: Save on Exit
Disk Space Used: 3.03 GB

VRAM Usage: 1667-1876 MB
CPU Usage: 16-33 %
RAM Usage: 3.1-3.5 GB
Frame Rate: 72-121 FPS

Overall if you enjoy walking sims you should give Gone Home a try. It has a great atmosphere and story as well as really nails it’s time period. I finished my play through in 110 minutes although I didn’t find all possible clues; journal logs and secrets. It is easily worth it’s current price of $16.99 CAD.

My Score: 8/10

Potential Spoilers Ahead

Before playing Gone Home, I made a specific point not to read any reviews as to not spoil the story, so I in no way knew what to expect. Because of that, every minute I played through the main story I was braced for a potential scare or horrific encounter that never came. When I happened upon them, I thoroughly enjoyed what most games would call Easter Eggs, but their abundance in this game would make them more like main content. Each note I read, cassette I listened to or combination I cracked helped me to dive deeper into the lives of the characters, and that's where I think this game most flourished.
I believe the shortcomings of the game had to do with the main story progression. The problem was not with the content of the story, which I found enjoyable and sincere, but more with how the game tried to move you along. I thought the game lacked some difficulty, I hoped that careful examination would result in me being better able to progress the game, but the main path felt quite linear, and progression didn't come at any challenge. I was not specifically rushing, but I moved along after what I thought was sufficient examination of a room, expecting that I'd be back to pick through it with a fine comb at a later date when I needed to find a clue I had missed. The story, I thought despite some specifically misleading early clues, was pretty predicable, and after completing the main story I felt as if I had a pretty complete picture of most of the main events. Because of this, after completing the last letter I didn't feel particularly motivated to retrace my steps and continue to enjoy the many objects that I'm sure I missed along the way.

This isn't really a mystery game, and you can guess the plot within a few minutes of playing.

Gone Home is a lot like Dear Esther - there's not a lot of gameplay meat on the bone here, but I liked Dear Esther and if you're aware of what you're getting into with a 'walking simulator'(or if you're feeling generous, an interactive art piece) there's nothing wrong with the genre.

Where Gone Home stumbles is, ironically enough, its story. Perhaps I was spoiled by the reviews like [GAY SOBBING INTENSIFIES] or just by osmosis of people talking about it, but even if I hadn't been the set-up becomes very obvious within the first ten minutes or so. Several beats feel forced and cliche, and at times are at odds with information the game gives you on how certain characters act. Also Sam's friend Daniel gets done dirty by her for almost no reason, and it's uncomfortable.

There's not a lot of gameplay to talk about in Gone Home. The entire game is wandering around a large, empty house at a slow pace. There is no run button(which about halfway into the game becomes excruciating as you backtrack) and the only options you have are move and an interact button.

Luckily Gone Home, like Dear Esther, is incredibly short, so the lack of any real gameplay doesn't overstay its welcome. However, a 15$ buy-in price for a game that'll net you about 30 minutes to complete even taking your time is a steep ask.

So the game was...okay. It wasn't a bad game I guess in theory, but not my cup of tea. It is very short and just a walking simulator with a pretty basic story that I figured out really quick. And then it just...ends. The game tries to give off spooky vibes, but there is nothing spooky about it. No puzzles, no mystery, no nothing. Just reading papers and then suddenly it is over.

I think this game was just a bit too short and simple - I was expecting more of a mystery, but you find out pretty quickly what's gone on without having to put much thought in to it. The spooky elements seem sort of pointless against the actual storyline.

I think I would have preferred if there had been some kind of puzzles included; you can interact with most of the items in the house but few of them give much insight or info.

I showed this game to a friend in high school telling him it was incredible and he stumbled into sequence-breaking the entire thing in like 2 minutes, so while I maintain that it's an incredible game that really makes you think about regular environments in new and interesting ways and portrays a heartfelt and affecting queer love story, it's also incredibly frustrating to me that they didn't just lock that door off behind some kind of flag and save me the fact that this game is a black mark on my record of recommending good shit in that particular relationship.

Bought it, played it for an hour or so....then my shit eyes got tired because I don't like wearing my glasses....but I wish I had stuck with it because my girlfriend and I played it recently and it was wonderful. It was so good and I was really sure that this game would have a fucked up or upsetting ending and....well, I would say it doesn't. I loved this game so much and would gladly play it again to find those notes we missed because every single one was compelling and interesting enough to convince me of a second playthrough. On the third, I think I'll use a walkthrough but not the second and certainly not the first.

+ Storytelling: You find out little bits about each character by exploring the house, which encourages you to inspect every bit of each room.
+ Voice acting: Sam's voice actor did a fantastic job.

? Game length: It took me under 4 hours to complete a normal playthrough (almost all journals), get both speedrun achievements and play the game again to get all missing achievements.

- Main story: The main story is just too short and is entirely focused on Sam. I would've liked to find out more about the parents and maybe even Katie and the dude who had the house.

I'm a bit torn on this one, but I decided to go for a no after all. As a walking simulator, I think this game succeeds just fine. The story is interesting, I felt engaged enough to continue and gather all the pieces and the pacing is well done. You discover new hints and locations as you go, and the house is large enough to space everything out, including several secrets.

However, where the game really fails for me is the atmosphere. The house is big, empty, dark and the rain and thunder don't really help. I felt afraid the ENTIRE time while playing this, even though the Internet had told me there would be no jump scares. That creepy basement, those creepy passages, having to walk into a dark and scary looking room towards a little rope to turn on the light, it is horrible. My mind saw a million places that ghosts or monsters could jump from. And you find an Ouija board, with scary things some ghost could have said, and that makes it even worse.

So why is this a problem? Simple: if you want me to feel the story, go through the narrative emotionally, the WORST thing you can do is clench my heart and stomach in fear. Fear blocks out everything, and I stopped enjoying the game after walking through the front door. Only in retrospect can I appreciate the story, when the nightmare of that empty creepy place is gone and I am looking at my desktop again. After a few rooms, with the thunder echoing outside while I scrambled for the light switch, we simply turned off the sound. Only when subtitles appeared, indicating that Sam was telling a story, did we turn it on, and as soon as Sam was done we muted it again. Her voice-acting is great, so well worth it, but every creak, thud and other sound just made me feel an uncomfortable shiver. I started noticing shapes in curtains that scared me and I felt nothing but fear.

And that is why I do not recommend it. It's a decisive game in gaming history according to several articles on the Internet, so I'm happy to have played it. But I'm also SO happy it's done. Whew...

Even with a teenage romance at its core that feels a little too precious for my cold, dead heart, Gone Home is f*cking genius. The way The Fullbright Company manage to give you this hyper-detailed and complex depiction of a family through their assorted belongings, journals and letters is f*cking genius. Their use of horror tropes (a dark creepy house, a tulmultous thunderstorm outside, sinister secret rooms) to convey the rot that occurs in a family when they keep things from one another is, again, f*cking genius.

This replay confirmed that Gone Home is a game with a capital G. As welcome as the LGBT stuff is, the real groundbreaking stuff is the way that it makes you compile this knowledge of the characters and the story through your own exploration. How the narrative becomes an absolute duet between the bread crumbs the designers have scattered around the house and your own desire as the player to study this house, really reflect on it, and use its' visual and set design to build your own image of these characters. It helps that the designers seem to have given an insane amount of thought to every object and note in the game, giving you just the right amount to make the storytelling clear while also allowing your imagination to fill in the blanks. When I figured out what happened to Terry and why he writes about the things he does, I dropped the controller on my lap and just stared agape at the screen, trying to process how Fullbright had told me a story without ever having explicitly told me.

Look guys, as I said, it's just f*cking genius.

This game succeeds in immersing you in a very human, very real and emotional story. Growing up the 90s, the environment feels genuine and quite nostalgic. Aside from the main story, there are a number of small subplots to discover through finding little clues as you progress through the game which enriches both the atmosphere and the main story.

Given it's short length, I would recommend getting this game on sale.

Gone Home, is a great walking simulator if you do not have problems with loud thunders or homosexual relationships. It was great and captivating. You could almost inspect everything that gave that grade A 90's vibe, and the music was fantastic. The story was very good and simple, it almost made me cry a little not gonna lie.

Buy it. I dont know why people sh*t on this game and i dont care.
I got it on the Winter Sale, i suggest that you get it on sale too since its only ~2h of gameplay.

Nice walking sim, but only buy it on sale because it is very short (you can finish it in 1 or 2 hours if you really take your time).
You play as Katie, who's back from her year abroad in Europe. When she gets to the family's new house, there's nobody home. She begins to investigate the house and unveils many secrets buried in it.
Don't believe the homophobic reviews (some of them didn't understand the game at all), there's much more to the game than what these players have seen, as the narration is mainly told through items and the setting itself.

The game begins strong. It’s dark, it’s raining, it’s thundering. The atmosphere is well set and a sense of impending doom is induced. Your mind quickly races to nefarious reasons for your house being empty on such a gloomy night, as you explore the house you do so with caution and that impending doom remains. Upon investigating the various rooms within the house, you find that your father is a failing author who specialises in the JFK conspiracy. Meanwhile you discover that due to your ‘psyco’ uncle’s recent death, your family has inherited this forever stained house, full of secret rooms and passages. Many clues of the potential supernatural hiding within the house are laid out.

Through more searching, you discover that your sister Sam is very much a product of the 90s' and is enveloped within the punk scene, she is at the peak of her coming of age and her feelings towards another girl consumes her every thought. This relationship unfortunately becomes the prime motive of the entire game, and this is Gone Home’s downfall, the relationship is promoted to the forefront and provides only slight interest for the player.

The biggest downfall, however is at the end of the game when you open the attic, all the built-up atmosphere and time you have spent exploring every corner of the house is completely wasted, and the player is left feeling disappointed. This is most defiantly not a fully-fledged game and even when on sale, you’re likely to regret your purchase.

Gone Home is a very short narrative-driven first person game that weaves its story as you explore your family's house. The game has this eerie mysterious vibe that works well despite the game not aiming to be a horror type of game.

Setting is good and you will enjoy the 90s theme spread throughout the game. The end result and characters depicted in the game might not be for everyone but in my opinion this game is worth a shot.

This game is ok, but I don't understand the high praise. The game ends too abruptly with a seemingly half-baked story. The problem is that the ending is not 'locked' away well enough, so you can stumble into the end knowing virtually nothing - there is even an achievement for finishing the game in one minute!

The reason I still recommend it: the gameplay itself (while it lasted) was actually quite compelling. I enjoyed the story elements I did find, and was interested enough to keep searching around for answers. If you look into every nook and cranny before stumbling into the ending, this is quite good. Unfortunately, I made it to the end too fast, and didn't really get the nuances of the story.

If you like slow, exploration games, then you will probably like this.

I got 80 minutes of gameplay, not obsessing over finding every single detail but not remotely trying to speedrun it. I played through it once, and I will most likely never touch it again. I'll be clear: it's an alright game. And if I had gotten it for free I would've been very happy with my experience. But is it worth paying more than 12€ for it? No, sorry, not a chance.

What did I get out of this game? As a fan of rock and alternative music, I definitely enjoyed the posters of some of my favourite bands around the house, and the magazines covering stories of some hot celebrities in my circles (hot as in popular, thank you very much). And I sure did like the voice acting and I'd lie if I'd say I didn't get at least a little bit invested in the story of Sam and Lonnie.

But mostly, I found the game quite boring. More puzzles would have been to its advantage. As for now, you just walk around a house (and god, what a slow walker you are), looking through drawers. For me just a bit bigger than my own home. I don't think it would be very much different to walk around in my own house, snooping through my own sisters' closets and boxes and looking at my own parents' old photos and casette tapes. Maybe that would even be more interesting.

I'm sorry to say that - unless you have way too much money in your pocket or you know yourself to be super into realistic house touring game experiences - I can't recommend buying this game.

Tbh it would've been cheaper and more exciting to break into a stranger's house and rummage through their junk for 2 hours. Good if you enjoy walking simulators, especially of the slightly spoopy variety, but hopefully you care more about snooping around in the house than actually solving the mystery, because the mystery doesn't deliver in the end. I would recommend trying this game for free, but I wouldn't waste the money otherwise.

the amazing voice acting holds you in a narrative that is built as you explore not only every place of a home but all the little things that make us escape from our problems and our routine. this game is about how the objects we own, the little details, have so much to say about ourselves.

the feeling of uncertainty about the destiny of the characters follows you until the final moment, which left me emotional with a smile on my face.

okay game. Not bad at first, but it is really geared toward teen angst, which is a game theme that is a little old/boring. Good visuals and all, but not that interesting of a story unfortunately. Would have been more interesting to hear stories from others in the family or to expand on the whole Oscar thing.

Gone Home is a (somewhat bitter)-sweet narrative driven title.

While I did enjoy the game for what it is, I don't believe Gone Home is nearly as solid as TACOMA, Fullbright's later release. The characters are rather simple, while the main two are given sufficient development to the point where the overall narrative is enjoyable, Gone Home sorely lacks the same level of development for the characters outside that central spotlight despite being mentioned frequently enough to warrant that detail. As is the case for the mother Janice, the father Terry, and to a much lesser extent Kaitlin. While the parents each have a side-narrative, neither of them conclude in any way that feels satisfying which is unfortunate considering how comparatively well the main story is expressed.

Regardless, if you like this style of game then I certainly do recommend despite any shortcomings. If you're not familiar with walking sims then I'm slightly more wary of recommending Gone Home, especially at its full £15 asking price.

One of the best walking simulators. 2-3 hours with a story that starts scary but turns heartwarming, set in the 90s. Great graphics with love to detail, superb voice acting and excellent soundtrack.

i find this game creepy so i muted everything and followed a speedrun guide so i could say i actually finished it. If you can't handle the eerie environment too I'd highly recommend listening to all of the journals on youtube.

In my ongoing and likely futile effort to write a Steam review for every game in my library (#428 out of 576)... it's time for Gone Home.

Gone Home is a first-person exploration/mystery adventure game. You play as a college student visiting home, only to discover that the house is empty. As you wander through your childhood home, you examine the rooms and the objects within to learn about the identities and personalities of the people who live there—and deduce their relationships to one another. There's a bit of a story to the game, but it's not really told directly to the player: it exists in the form of objects in the world that you either find, or you don't. Connections that you either make, or you don't.

It's an interesting, experimental take on narrative-based adventure games and it generally works very well. There's something quietly nerve-wracking about snooping through an empty house... a feeling that there may be something supernatural at play, or something mundane, or something in-between. Gone Home is one of those games where not much is going on, but nonetheless creates a palpable tension that imbues each scene.

If you're looking for creativity, try What Remains of Edith Finch.

If you're looking for challenging game play, try The Painscreek Killings or L.A. Noise.

If you're looking for a story with contemporary characters, try Life Is Strange.

If you're looking for something where all you have to do is point and click, try Her Story or Telling Lies.

If you're still tempted to play Gone Home, wait for a sale. It's a $5 game at this point.

Wow!!
Super immersive gaming experience. Even though there aren't jump scares or anything like that, there is such an unsettling
vibe throughout the whole game. Total adventure all the way through, and way more to explore than I expected.
11/10- highly recommend.

At its pricepoint of $15, I can't recommend it. The game is interesting but the story isn't something that sticks with me. It's worth about $5 in my opinion overall for the experience, which I admired at the time, but didn't find myself really moved by it. Because it is a linear narrative, there is only one ending, and as a result, no replay value (except if you hunt for the achievements the game has -- which are very mundane and few.) Overall don't recommend it at its current price.

The story, environment and voice acting is the three great pros for this game, my only wish is that it was a bit longer.

Gone home is a game where you may dislike it at first after completing it, cause [spoiler] It creates a very convincing atmosphere where you think something will go wrong but it doesn't really go that way [/spoiler] . And that may seem disappointing. But in all long run if you think about it you will get that it's actually good walking sim cause it's atmosphere and uniqueness in story ( at least among video games). Overall i would say this game deserves the rating it got on steam (>75%) and it's worth giving a try.

This is a mild mystery, not a jump-scare/horror game.
Set in 1995 - things that were odd then are ho-hum now.

New buyers (its 2020 now) go into options menu *before* playing. I'd pick 'turn on lights' and also raise the brightness & lower the music.
To make it more relaxing, also choose 'unlock doors', and 'commentary' - that way you'll stroll the house with no back-tracking, and hear bits of author's commentary.

Buy it on sale. re: 'REPLAY'?... only to get achievements:

* want others to find this advice? - give review a thumbs-up.

I was reminded of this work of art today and found out it was on sale, I played it and beat it. By no means is this the most realistic or action packed game I own, but to this day about six years later, this game is extremely immersive in story and in visuals. I can recommend Gone Home at the full asking price, but I also recommend the soundtrack as well.
