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!

First off, this is not a horror game, but the dread throughout the entire game is completely intentional. Some people don't seem to get that but that's how being queer is. This story cuts deep especially for queer

I found both the story and the gameplay to be uninteresting and boring. I've tried several attempts over the years to get into it and just couldn't. Finally decided to just remove it from my account as I don't think

It says 16.9% of players got the "Completed the Game" achievement. That's higher than I thought it would be. I was truly MINUTES away from quitting the game. 3.7 hours of not caring and hoping I would at some point.

This is one of the most beautiful, real, poignant, intelligent, human, and attentive games I've ever played. It has a degree of profound interest in the mundane ephemera of life that I've simply never seen a video game
