Gone Home is not just a simple walking simulator. It's so much more.
Dave writes: "If you’re a fan of walking simulators, then the name probably sticks in the throat, but let’s ‘own it’ and chuck the best and mightiest of the genre into a bear pit and let them have at it! 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.
It really isn't. It sucks as a game and everything else is pretentious as hell.
I read it, and still don't understand the Gone Home hype.
i don't really consider it an important game but unlike everybodies gone to the rapture i actually finished the game and it didn't fucking stutter every few seconds and change from day to night in a few seconds it's such a small contained game that it was very good at directing me on where to go even though it lets you go wherever you want from the start if the doors not locked.
