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 (Steam, Direct) 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.
I decided to take a short look at this as it sounded very interesting:
I decided to forgo chatting away on this one as it has dialogue when you pick up certain things and didn't want you or I to miss anything.
I will be playing this one to the end most definitely I think, has hooked me in for sure! Looks to be well worth the £14.99, although it's 10% off right now!

Great coverage Liam! I'm super excited about this one.
One detail I'd like to add, it's also available DRM-free via the Humble Store widget on their site: http://www.gonehomegame.com/
Although, being attacked, stuck & frustrated were some of my most memorable early King's Quest and Space Quest experiences...

I almost passed on this one because of the Steam reference in the title, I just read about it somewhere else and noticed it was available at the Humble Store.
