Successor to Gone Home.

While continuing the environmental storytelling techniques of Gone Home, Tacoma introduces these augmented reality memory sequences involving multiple characters. Sometimes you have to play them back multiple times and follow different characters around to get the full picture. It's a cool technique.

And like Gone Home, Tacoma is one of the most suspenseful (not scary, suspenseful) games I've ever played. And though the stories of the two games, are vastly different, they both end in almost the exact same way: happily, against all odds, and striding forward into a new, uncertain, but nevertheless optimistic future.
