Gone Home

Gone Home is a first-person adventure exploration video game developed and published by The Fullbright Company. The player takes the role of Katie in the first-person view, who can move around the house and view and interact with objects. There are no defined goals in the game; however, the game encourages and rewards the player when they explore new areas of the house and search for new messages. The writing and artifact design are so good that I felt compelled to grab everything that wasn’t bolted to the floor and give it a closer examination. Turning around a can of soup reveals a fully written label.
