About the Game

June 7th, 1995. 1:15 AM

You arrive home after a year abroad. You expect your family to greet you, but the house is empty. Something's not right. Where is everyone? And what's happened here? Unravel the mystery for yourself in Gone Home, a story exploration game from The Fullbright Company.

Gone Home is an interactive exploration simulator. Interrogate every detail of a seemingly normal house to discover the story of the people who live there. Open any drawer and door. Pick up objects and examine them to discover clues. Uncover the events of one family's lives by investigating what they've left behind.

Go Home Again.

Key Features


  • A Personal Story: Created by veterans of the BioShock series and the story team behind Minerva's Den, Gone Home offers the rich, nuanced details of one family's struggles to deal with uncertainty, heartache, and change.

  • An Immersive Place: Return to the 1990s by visiting a home where every detail has been carefully recreated, and the sounds of a rainstorm outside wrap you in the experience.

  • No Combat, No Puzzles: Gone Home is a nonviolent and puzzle-free experience, inviting you to play at your own pace without getting attacked, stuck, or frustrated. This house wants you to explore it.

  • Fully Interactive Investigation: Discover what's happened to the Greenbriars by examining a house full of the family's personal possessions, and the notes and letters they've left behind. Use your powers of observation to piece together a story that unfolds as you explore.

  • Behind-The-Scenes Commentary: Over 90 minutes of commentary by the developers, musicians, and voice talent behind Gone Home. Access Commentary mode by clicking the Modifiers button when starting a new game!

I'm sorry but this just wasn't what I thought it would be. For $15 it was an extremely simple game to get through in a short amount of time and nothing like what I thought I was getting. [WARNING: SPOILERS] The game I

All in all.. rather dull? It had the possibility to be something more but it's just a walking sim. You can pick up/interact with a few things that just feel kinda pointless? I feel like it could have been something but

Not even a real game. One of the earliest forms of a walking simulator and something only non-gamers, art-house mongrels, and game journalists played. There is no gameplay. If you've played Amnesia The Dark Descent and

It's a short game, a simple walking sim that tells the story of a family broken. And if anyone was expecting jumpscares or spooks, none here (to my relief lol) as someone who is able to relate to Sam in some way

I got this before Steam introduced the refund feature way back in 2014 and I still feel ripped off.

Very simple but a fun explorative story. A tiny bit of mystery and some intrigue. Overall, it's like an interactive short story not so much a game but I enjoyed playing it and would love to see a similar game that has
