Gone Home. PC!

Hey guys, hope you are all good, this is going to be my review on a new game I got from Steam called Gone Home. Enjoy!

Gone Home

Okay so apparently the feeling of going to the house you grew up in and going into your old bedroom is a really weird feeling and kind of a nostalgic one too. I still live with my parents so I don't know. but that's kind of the basis of this game, Gone Home. I wasn't just being a rambler. You play as a young girl, I don't think it mentions her age, I'd say about 19 or 20 maybe, well she's been travelling around Europe and she's coming home to see her mum, dad and little sister. But when getting to the front door the house is locked up and empty with an mysterious letter on the door addressed to you from your sister, Sam, basically telling you not to worry and that she is fine and one day she will see her again. when you find the key and get into the house you're welcomed by a sort of colonial decorated entrance, the house is obviously more of a mansion. There is a definite spooky feel to the house, the entire time through you're expecting something to jump out, but I won't give anything away. As you explore through the house and each individual room you find diary entries from your sister which begin to explain why the house is empty and what has happened to your family, thus the story evolving.

Along with diary entries there are things like photos, report cards and little notes and letters scattered around the house, each of which helps you to understand the story more. And if you enjoy games where you can just explore someone's house and rummaging around other people belongings then I'd say try this game, it is really fun and the ending is good too. It's a little pricey, its £19.99 on Steam, but there's probably a free download somewhere. I'll give this game 7/10, its a lot of money for a game which is just mostly exploring.
