So I finally played Gone Home over the weekend (after having owned it for quite a while). Really good narrative and atmosphere. Definitely a "walking simulator" but really well done. 9/10
@moonheart08 is it a walking simulator with the occasional puzzle? Are you exploring other people's stories, or is it a story about the character you walk around as?
Yeah. You play the role of a detective who can, like, "see" impressions of events that happened in the past. You're called to this rural community because a kid has gone missing. And then Peculiar and Strange Events begin happening.
Eh, yea. They did an excellent job at making each part of the map be unique, and have scenery, to make it less boring for the walking. However, the game certainly tells a story, and it also breaks the fourth wall a bit.
(Intentionally, as part of the story, it breaks the fourth wall, that is)
@AdmBorkBork neither am I. That was the game that made me realize it
I'm trying to find the name of it, but my parents had gotten me some sci-fi fps with math (like 10 years ago), and even though I love math, I couldn't play that game
Right, it has the zombies and the setting, but it's not actually scary. It's still action-fps with you blasting away zombies with traps and explosives.
It was still great fun, and the visual distinctness was intresting, and Father Grigory is awesome.
Also,check if it's online. It may have gone offline after all this time of me not checking on it, plus it's probably a little out of date. I recommend you wait 2 or 3 hours for me to get home
@ASCII-only I haven't gotten too far, so I can't say much. So far, its been mostly background: I finished the first area, but the game froze when I tried to take the elevator back up to the zero-g area.
