GeekParty's Mandi Odoerfer writes: "The Fullbright Company‘s Gone Home was recently released to overwhelmingly positive reviews. An indie title receiving effusive praise isn’t exactly something new, but what I find so fascinating about Gone Home‘s success is that it can barely be called a game at all. It plays like a point-and-click adventure, but there are no challenging puzzles to solve or deadly traps to avoid. Instead, you explore an empty house and get lost in the story."
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.
