00:00:03.062 --> 00:00:04.519
So do you guys ever remember

00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:05.764
how when you were like a kid

00:00:05.764 --> 00:00:07.478
and you had to walk around the house

00:00:07.478 --> 00:00:08.828
in the middle of the night

00:00:08.828 --> 00:00:10.978
with the lights off, it was freaking terrifying?

00:00:10.978 --> 00:00:14.401
and then you would stop to think about how weird it was

00:00:14.401 --> 00:00:15.736
that you were creeped out by your own house

00:00:15.736 --> 00:00:17.111
so that you would turn your lights on

00:00:17.111 --> 00:00:19.857
and suddenly it would turn into the most comfy place in the world?

00:00:20.738 --> 00:00:22.978
"Gone Home" is a game about that.

00:00:23.089 --> 00:00:26.749
The year is 1995 and you are a college aged girl

00:00:26.749 --> 00:00:28.643
you just got home from a trip in Europe

00:00:28.643 --> 00:00:30.708
but of course home is a haunted house

00:00:30.708 --> 00:00:33.258
located somewhere in the woods outside of Twin Peaks.

00:00:33.258 --> 00:00:35.764
Naturally, it's a dark and stormy night outside

00:00:35.764 --> 00:00:38.614
and the place is mysteriously abandoned on the inside.

00:00:38.614 --> 00:00:40.798
So as these stories normally go

00:00:40.798 --> 00:00:44.537
it's up to you to explore the house and find out what happened to everybody.

00:00:44.537 --> 00:00:48.967
You may or may not come to find a few suprises along the way.

00:00:49.415 --> 00:00:51.407
"Gone Home" was develop by the fine people

00:00:51.407 --> 00:00:54.677
who brought us the Minerva's Den (DLC) for BioShock 2

00:00:54.785 --> 00:00:57.458
Unfortunatelly I haven't played it or its parent game

00:00:57.458 --> 00:00:59.388
but the reviews seemed to consistently claim

00:00:59.388 --> 00:01:01.182
that it was better than BioShock 2

00:01:01.182 --> 00:01:03.012
and that it also pushed up the quality

00:01:03.012 --> 00:01:05.652
of first person environmental storytelling
