I had some time off today, so I tried "Gone Home". But, I have to say, I have no idea what I just played . It was a sappy, (somewhat inappropriate) mystery/Indie love story that revolved around an annoying, angsty teen and her equally annoying and unpopular friend from school. I was more intrigued about the secret doors and cryptic messages involving the previous house owner - which, unfortunately, never came into fruition. The ending was largely disappointing, too. In fact, I'm not sure if it was intentional, but Gone Home did such a brilliant job of keeping me uninterested about the main characters in this game; I really couldn't give a fudge about any of them.
On the plus side, the point-and-click execution of the game was okay; it vaguely of reminded me of the Myst games from the mid-90s. Gone Home is recommended if you can find it for $1.99, but not a penny more. In fact, save yourself the $1.99, and the two hours of your time it would take to complete it. Each of us have had our own "Gone Home" situations where we've returned to our houses and no one's there; the mystery begins!!! -_____-
Gone Home - 4/10.
And yes, I do realize that's a lower score than what everyone on the net has ever given it.
