It's the mid-90s, and you arrive at your family home after studying abroad. You are standing on your porch, and wonder, “where is everyone?” Your parents and sister are mysteriously absent. Once you find a way inside your house, much of the experience is eerie and isolating. The game encourages you to explore the environment for clues. The house is filled with nostalgic artifacts from the 90s—from X-Files posters, SNES cartridges, and VHS/Cassette tapes. The game’s attention to detail creates an incredibly immersive experience. As you examine notes and objects, the narrative unfolds, and you learn more about the hidden lives of your family. Despite being absent, all the characters have beautiful depth, which is a testament to the innovative storytelling of Gone Home.

Gone Home is short, but satisfying. You probably won't feel compelled to replay it. Yet it is truly innovative and worth your time, so I highly recommend it.
