All of these aspects lead me to believe that this will have some jumps, scares, and potentially turn into horror. It is 1:30 in the morning and a persistent lightning storm continues outside throughout the duration of the game. We are all alone, seeing the new house for the first time our family just moved into. I thought it was exciting that the game begins with a single voicemail call from Katie to her mother before we walk through the front door of the house. From the very beginning, the games music and sound sets an ominous and creepy theme. The game begins on June 7, 1995, with 21-year-old Kaitlin Greenbriar returning home from her solo Europe trip. For 90% of the game, I feel Gone Home had all of these things in abundance. Allow me to explain.Įxplore The Empty Greenbriar House For Clues. Some of those expectations I have are a compelling story, convincing characters, great voice acting and level design. With that in mind I played Gone Home with similar expectations I would have playing any other exploration title.
The atmosphere is well set and advertised as an exploration mystery game. Gaming is not so different in this aspect, leaving Fullbright’s marketing team to set the stage for Gone Home. Much like movies, our expectations going into a film will greatly determine our final verdict at the end of the film. I want to discuss early the type of game this is because, with any game genre, there are certain expectations and criteria that we expect to be followed (or at least attempted) when creating a specific game. The game does have strengths – and lots of them, however, this does not mean I am willing to disregard some of the problems I have with the title. I did enjoy the title and I was enthralled for much of the game’s captivating story and characters but as I was about to chalk the game up to an amazing title, the ending of the game takes a disappointing turn. However, my experience does not quite follow the trend of “amazing” and “wonderful” experiences proclaimed by others. After reading so many acclaimed reviews from other writers, I was eager to jump in to unravel the mystery of the Greenbriar house for myself. Gone Home has much appeal, an immense amount of fan-love and positive reviews supporting it as a title you don’t want to miss. Where To Buy: Steam, PSN, Xbox Marketplace
