Received a lot of buzz and fuzz and even got awarded GOTY as far as indies go on several sites, I decided to check this out before closing the year. Gone Home is a first person point and click adventure where you explore your home where your parents and sister usually live, but because of certain reasons they are not there right now.
As you search your house for clues regarding what happened while you arrived earlier than expected, you will start to discover secrets that have to do with your family and the house. Gone Home is a very short emotional journey that has been claimed as being a nostalgic ride back to the 90's.
For having a satisfying discovery about your sister turning out to be lesbian, her feelings with the person in question and then having to say painfully goodbye while love is chained upon them. As for me, I gotta say the experience was alright, I slightly felt compassion towards the ending, but this isn't GOTY even regarding indies.
Nor would I consider it a prime example of the pseudo argument that video games can or cannot be art(they already are). Still, that doesn't mean someone else would be completely engrossed by this, even though I was raised in the 90's as well.
