I played this before I played Gone Home, but it's easy to see the influence (down to the theming!). This one sort of circumvented the issue I had with the house being ransacked even though it didn't really need to be, since the framing device has you flash back to the main characters' teen years, and, like, teenagers' rooms always look kinda rifled through. Sort of a nostalgic air to proceedings. Little game and story, but not bad.

Easy way to bum me out - kill a cat. Apparently, you only have to imply this.
