Am I the only one who genuinely enjoyed Gone Home?

I loved Gone Home. I'm a pansexual woman and had no idea going into the game what it was about. By the end I had such mixed emotions, I cried more than once. So much of it just hit home, it felt real. And that shit happens to people, you know? That's what made it so heartbreaking and at the end, bittersweet.

It felt like Myst going around and looking at the environment for clues and hidden secrets without an imminent threat of danger. "Walking Simulators" aren't new by any means.

One of my favourite games. Sadly, it seems many Steam users believe that if a game isn't for them, they have to take it upon themselves to let everybody know about it.

i liked it 2. Actually went into it completely blind thinking it was some sort of spooky game.

Homosexuality is a taboo subject?

The game sucks because it's short even if you take your time and it shamelessly plays the lesbian card because they know people would make a big deal about it. When it isn't. Homosexuality is not a big deal, and that plot twist is all the game has going for it. It's tedious even by the standards of walking simulators and it uses one's sexual preference to draw attention. I don't hate it because it touches the subject, I hate it because it does so with the subtlety of a brick to the head and blatantly uses it as a selling point. The devs are the ones making homosexuality sound like a big deal, not the players.

Well, I enjoyed it. But in all honesty, I would've preferred it the game went a horror route. Like the weird secret rooms and stuff. Just uncovering a mystery or something. Pulling the lesbian twist was just a wasted opportunity for the game. Although it got way more sales and attention thanks to the forced in plot point.

I love it, the theme and the art style intrigues me.

I like walking sims in general.

Yes you are alone with at least 10.000 other people who wrote a positive review on steam!

I liked the game, idk why a_a xD

I really enjoyed that game as well. Fun fact is that I actually knew almost nothing baout it before playing it and I was expecting it to be a horror game. The moment when I saw the credits was the time when I realised I'm not...

Steam reviews are actually positive, so I'll say no.

I enjoyed the game, and explored everything there was, but the game is rather short, the stories are quite predictable and it feels kind of empty besides reading a bunch. It's definitely not worth the 20$ they're asking. It's a nice enough game, but it's not a fantastic game either and seems to be too hyped by some people. It may be more interesting to people who can relate to not being accepted for their sexuality, but as a straight person the theme didn't really resonate with me. My best advise is to get the game for 5$ or less and not expect too much about this game, and definitely don't read into the hype some people seem to create for it.
