The Late Night Gamer: I indulged in Steam’s annual “Games You Will Never Have Time to Play” sale and saw that Gone Home, a game I’ve had my eye on since months before its release, was on sale for half off. And I ended up really liking it. This game was the most 90s thing ever. The environmental storytelling is the best I’ve seen. Buuuuuuuuuuuut no one seems to mention that the game has a pretty dumb ending. Allow me to explain. Oh, and if you couldn’t tell by the title, this article will completely spoil the game for you. You’ve been warned.

Hoo-rah! As with most genre lists, there’s some controversy about what does or doesn’t constitute a walking simulator. Dialogue and navigation is preferred over puzzles and more intensive interaction like combat or QTEs. Jumping/crouching is positively frowned upon. Strap on your hiking boots and let’s ramble!"
Starting today, Drawful 2, Gone Home, Hob, and Totally Reliable Delivery Service are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until April 9 at 10 AM. Once you claim them, they’re yours to keep.
If you're a fan of the narrative-driven walking simulator genre, then these titles really need to be in your Switch games library.
