I'm gonna start reviewing games, hope you guys enjoy.
Today's Game: Gone Home
Synopses:
you arrive at home to an empty house, and learn about your family while you are away...
...and learn of your sister mostly, who turns out to be a lesbian
Concept of play:
Not too complex, you explore an empty house searching for clues to what happened to your family, almost like fallout, but more realistic, and no combat.
Strong points:
The story unfolds in a very interesting manner with a natural feel of progression, the narrative comes off pretty realistic
The house is well done, you can believe that people lived there really well...
Weak points:
The story is based mostly off of one member of your family....
...not much can be said of the Mom at all, but the Dad seems interesting with the whole book writing
Verdict:
This game is really good, but not really deserving of a GOTY title, it's short and well, $20 is very steep for a game like this, the story can only do so much, and doesn't help that it's one of those "one playthrough is enough" games.
I recommend picking up this game during a sale, it's definitely worth a play, but not worth a high price.
-----------
with later reviews I will implement a number or star system, but for now, enjoy it.
also I will take requests.
Yes you can, all secret areas are accessible before you can find out about them, I tested it and you in fact can beat the game in 2 minutes flat.
between the stairs and the bookshelf, there is a room which has the keys to the attic, which you find the book that triggers the end
