I gasped when I entered a bathroom and found red splatters on the tub, but then I found a bottle of red hair dye on the ground and a note from my sister about coloring instructions. Even if it's a place you're familiar with, it's still spooky, and that's certainly the case in Gone Home.īut eventually you learn this is not that type of game. It effectively channels the feeling of terror you may have felt in your youth (or still feel now) when you're home alone in the dark. You enter the house during a thunderstorm, and for the duration of the game, the lights won't stop flickering. The kids at school call Sam the girl that lives in the "psycho house," and it's strongly hinted that your once beloved uncle did something very, very bad.Ī recurring theme in the Gone Home is that it's constantly masquerading as a horror game. ![]() Lastly, the specter of your father's uncle Oscar looms over everything. Your father, who once wrote a book about a man who goes back in time to save JFK, is now writing crappy home theater reviews and there are a worryingly large amount of liquor bottles scattered around the house. Your mother, a forest ranger, has been making eyes at a new man in her department, as she tells her friend Carol in a letter. You'll check a few calendars and find that your parents are at a couples workshop retreat to get their marriage on track, and further exploration reveals why. There are a few side stories as well regarding other family members, though none have narration to accompany them. You get to hear how their relationship developed over the time which you were gone, and how it has affected Sam and your family and relates to her disappearance.
