Advances the walking simulator ideas in such smart, intelligent ways. While other walking simulators tend to just leave the player to follow the story, Fullbright has wisely put much of the action in the player's hands. As someone who gets distracted easily, letting you pause or rewind parts of a narration is so much more thought out than an alarming number of (good!) walking simulators. It lets you investigate crew members at your leisure and it lets you feel like you're chasing your own impulses, rather than sticking to a pre-set path. Its smart game design! Fullbright really understood what did and didn't work with Gone Home and expanded upon the genre in all the right ways. A+ experience all around.
