good story
amazing walking simulator, just press play and feel the vibes of discovering what happened after you gone home.
**Für mich eher Möbelbesichtigung als spannendes Erzählspiel** *Gone Home* hatte für mich zunächst eine interessante Ausgangslage. Die Grundsituation – heimkommen, das Haus leer vorfinden und herausfinden wollen, was passiert ist – hat mich neugierig gemacht. Genau deshalb habe ich das Spiel gestartet. Leider hat mich das Spiel danach überhaupt nicht getragen. Die Atmosphäre wirkte auf mich eher leer und unspektakulär. Die Story konnte mich nicht packen, und die Figuren beziehungsweise die Familie blieben für mich belanglos. Nichts daran hat mich wirklich interessiert oder emotional erreicht. Ich weiß, dass *Gone Home* oft als Walking Simulator eingeordnet wird, aber für mich war es nicht einmal das auf eine interessante Weise. Es fühlte sich eher wie eine Möbelbesichtigung mit vielen Zetteln, Büchern, ein paar Musikkassetten und für mich unangenehmer Musik an. Der Ablauf bestand im Wesentlichen aus Herumlaufen, Türen öffnen, Schubladen durchsuchen und Lesen. Es passiert einfach kaum etwas. Bei einer Laufsimulation erwarte ich schöne Orte, Atmosphäre, etwas zum Ansehen und Genießen oder wenigstens eine starke Inszenierung. Hier war mir die Grafik für dieses Genre zu simpel und insgesamt eher unterdurchschnittlich. Auch die Soundkulisse und Musik waren nicht mein Geschmack. Rätsel gibt es praktisch nicht. Man muss nichts wirklich herausfinden oder clever kombinieren. Alles wird einem präsentiert, nur eben in Form von Texten und Gegenständen. Das Durchsuchen des Hauses fühlte sich für mich irgendwann eher nach Regale auswischen und Staub wischen an als nach spannender Erkundung. Die Sprachausgabe war in Ordnung und für mich die einzige wirkliche Abwechslung. Technisch lief das Spiel sauber, Bugs oder Probleme hatte ich keine. Meine Spielzeit lag bei **2,9 Stunden**. Beendet habe ich es vor allem, weil es kurz genug war. Ich stand kurz davor abzubrechen und habe mehrere Pausen gemacht, weil mich das Spiel einfach nicht interessiert hat. Achievements haben mich ebenfalls nicht motiviert; das einzige, was ich bewusst mitgenommen habe, war das Ende des Spiels. **Fazit:** Für mich war *Gone Home* eine Geduldsprobe. Die Ausgangslage ist interessant, aber das Spiel bietet mir zu wenig Atmosphäre, zu wenig Interaktion, zu wenig Rätsel und zu wenig erzählerische Wirkung. Wer sehr ruhige, textlastige Haus-Erkundung mag, kann damit vielleicht etwas anfangen. Für mich war es enttäuschend und langweilig.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Gone Home left me with mixed feelings. The atmosphere is great, the setting is intriguing, and the hour I spent exploring the house was enjoyable. The storytelling style is unique, and it definitely kept my attention. But the game is very short. You can finish the story in about an hour, and there’s even an achievement for completing it in under a minute. The “fastplayed” tag honestly fits perfectly. I just wish the experience had been a bit longer—maybe two or three hours—so the story and emotional beats had more room to develop. I wouldn’t say I’m upset, just a little disappointed. I expected more, but the hour I did spend with the game was still pretty enjoyable. I just wish there had been more to dig into, because the foundation is really solid. Kinda reminds me of What Remains of Edith Finch. All that aside.. YAAYY LESBIANS :)
It's not long, but it is an effective story. It feels very real and hits pretty close to home. I'm also happy about the ending. At least I thought it was a happy ending. I think there's still some sort of cat spirit that wants to eat all of the food in the house. This is scary because I am familiar with and very wary of just how terrifying the greed of cats can be.
氛围和故事内容割裂（真的不应该是什么惊悚类型的走路模拟器吗），但剧情叙事方式和节奏可以，感情线就当下看来其实一般般，绝望的钕铜和传统的家庭，有点……青春伤痛了，反正我不是很吃这套，以上
Eu gostei da história e de como ela é narrada. Tem uma atmosfera cativante.
Games like these are the reason there should be an "average" option when writing a review. The story is quite good, at times unpredictable, but also rather simple and immature. The way of narration is bizarre. Your character voices thoughts of your sister, but not with the sisters voice, but their own? And they discover these memories by finding random ♥♥♥♥ around a big ass house that has like a gazzilion hidden rooms and compartments. Super weird. Many story related elements are also very difficult to understand, as most of the notes in the game are handwritten by a person who can't write at all. And they are read only, no voiced notes whatsoever. Indies are not made for achievements, but it has to be adressed too. What on earth are these achievements? A story driven genre, getting an achievement for finishing the game in couple minutes? Damn. Not good, not bad, but only buy at a high discount. And do not expect too much. This is no What Remains of Edith Finch, Firewatch or The Suicide of Rachel Foster. Rather a similar concept, but toned down a ton. Still worth playing at some point if you like indies.
Played this a long time ago. I think it was short, and I don't remember much of it.
Cozy and a bit creepy at the same time. Short and nice story.
