So apparently the studio at which this game was made was or became an extremely toxic work environment? Yikes. If any of that was going on around Gone Home's release, it was mostly under wraps since any controversies surrounding the game concerned its value as a "walking simulator".

Gone Home is one of the earlier and more famous examples of this sort of genre of interactive narrative game. It's a short experience, but the storytelling here is really strong as you the mystery unspools and you're left with a strong understanding of the characters simply by the memorabilia they've left behind. I honestly really enjoyed my time with it but see how it could turn off some gamers.
