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.
Key Features
A Personal Story: Created by veterans of the BioShock series and the story team 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.

Ratings and Reviews
Great
I was a little bit skeptical because I saw the bad reviews of this game, but I was quite surprised. It’s super detailed and the story is quite an emotional rollercoaster. You can also find out interesting things about the family too, it’s a big house so there is quite a lot of exploring. Only down side is that i personally would’ve liked it to be longer. It lasted me about an hour.
Excellent, really enjoyed!
This is a story based game full of detail which reveal clues about the main plot and sub plots. Your encouraged to look through these clues to progress through the game so I can understand why some might not have the patience for this sort of experience. If you like taking your time though and reading through the numerous letters and newspaper articles throughout the house, this can be a really rewarding game. The main story was interesting and had a pleasant and satisfying ending. Think of this as more of a story telling experience and if that’s your thing then this is the game for you!
Not for everyone
I personally found this quite monotonous. You basically walk around a house, picking things up to see if they’re relevant to the story. There’s no challenge to it and no intelligence or skill required. Sometimes the interactivity can be a little buggy (even when it says open drawer, you may find yourself picking up a pencil instead) and the controls on iPad are a bit of a head mash (you’ll find yourself swiping the wrong side of the screen a lot). All in all, a little unfulfilling.
