So do you guys ever remember

how when you were like a kid

and you had to walk around the house

in the middle of the night

with the lights off, it was freaking terrifying?

and then you would stop to think about how weird it was

that you were creeped out by your own house

so that you would turn your lights on

and suddenly it would turn into the most comfy place in the world?

"Gone Home" is a game about that.

The year is 1995 and you are a college aged girl

you just got home from a trip in Europe

but of course home is a haunted house

located somewhere in the woods outside of Twin Peaks.

Naturally, it's a dark and stormy night outside

and the place is mysteriously abandoned on the inside.

So as these stories normally go

it's up to you to explore the house and find out what happened to everybody.

You may or may not come to find a few suprises along the way.

"Gone Home" was develop by the fine people

who brought us the Minerva's Den (DLC) for BioShock 2

Unfortunatelly I haven't played it or its parent game

but the reviews seemed to consistently claim

that it was better than BioShock 2

and that it also pushed up the quality

of first person environmental storytelling
