Gone Home is Now Free on PC For a Limited Time

Gone Home is an award-winning adventure exploration video game created by the indie development studio, The Fullbright Company. This intriguing game is set in the year 1995 and focuses on a strong, intriguing narrative instead of traditional gameplay mechanics. Despite the press applauding the game’s unusual style, many people disliked the amount of walking around without any meaningful action. According to the Metacritic listing, Gone Home has an 86/100 rating while the user score is 5.4/10. This showcases the difference between the press’ views and those of the gaming community. Personally, I quite like different kinds of games even ones which lack any real gameplay.

If you’ve somehow not experienced Gone Home before, now is the perfect time because it’s being offered for free at itch.io until tomorrow at 8AM. This isn’t a huge amount of time to take advantage of this promotion so you’ll have to act quickly. Even if you’re not fond of games like Dear Esther and The Stanley Parable, it’s worth a go given the zero cost. I’d be interested to hear from our readers about Gone Home and if they care more about the story element or gameplay.
