Gone Home is a unique bizarre little creature that can be completed in less than 60 seconds, that's right the whole story finished in less than a minute.
You play the role of a girl who returns to her home to discover her sister isn't in, you wander around the house seeking clues regarding her disappearance and these come in the form of narrated journal entries and notes.
Truth is wandering around this house is scarier than many survival horror games but the beautifully written/read journal entries make the game remarkably warm and undeniably memorable.
The game (If you can call it that) is tasteful, poignant, thought provoking and a brilliant story though it's more of an experience than an actual video game.
Well worth picking up, but don't expect much replay value.
The Good:
Looks great
Powerful emotional message
Deeply creepy (Even if it's not meant to be)
Wonderfully written
The Bad:
Very short
Not much content
