    Gone Home ✅ I’ve been playing smaller games whilst I wait for Expedition 33 and this was perfect (finished it in one sitting lmao). I’m a sucker for a game where you explore a big house, find secret passageways and piece together the story.

    i actually thought about 1920's avant garde art as a comparison point for my game Problem Attic, & i wasn't the only one during that period. but gamergaters were more mad about stuff like Gone Home and just confused if at all aware of the avant garde stuff, which is where this comparison breaks down

    39. Gone Home a walking sim video game where you're in an empty house in the 90s during a storm, and you have to solve puzzles to figure out the (very queer) story. it feels like a horror game but it's not. one of the only video games my mom has ever played (she enjoyed it a lot)

    setting aside the absolute batshit drivel that follows, "the point of a game like Grand Theft Auto is to identify with the character" is a massively unhinged take. A game like the Gone Home or Life is Strange, sure. GTA? what??

    When Gone Home came out, I too was once a stupid little punk who was like. “this is so lame. Not even a game. What a load.” And then suddenly I was a woman. I take it seriously and I played it and I was tearing up. Sad to see not everyone has gotten there yet.

    He played all of Gone Home and never once noticed it presented itself as a horror game and didn't believe me that it did. I think of it all the time. It's vital to the design and he didn't just not see it, he argued that it didn't exist.

    5. If you do something repeatedly in the game, try to show it at least twice in the trailer! For example, if your game is a Zelda-like game then locked doors are a thing. But until we see evidence, your game could be a story driven game where there's only one locked door like in Gone Home.

    I played & finished Gone Home (2013), which I knew nothing about going in. It's a short adventure game where you come home and pick up clues about what's up w your sister, who you find out is in love. There's not a ton of game play, per se, but it's well done and emotional for what it is. I dug it.
