SlasherJPC previews the first 20 minutes of Gone Home, the new adventure PC game developed by Fullbright
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.
I said this on the last article about this game, but seriously BUY. THIS. GAME. Beautiful and tear jerking story. $17.99 may be a bit too much for a 3 hour game that you will only play a couple times at max. But the experience of playing through it is sublime.
If you dig games like Dear Esther and want to support the devs then I would say for sure buy it. If you can hold off though (or are low on cash) it may be cheaper during the Steam Winter sale which will be coming up. I bought it day one and don't regret the purchase one bit, amazing experience. Giantbomb has a nice write up for a review without spoilers.
