Gone Home puts out the welcome mat on August 15
Interaction enthusiasts: you have a fortnight to practice rummaging in drawers, reading other people's letters, and finding audiodiaries, as explore 'em up Gone Home has been dated for August 15. Fun facts: developer The Fullbright Company was founded by three of the folks behind BioShock 2's splendid Minerva's Den DLC; and, though I am clearly some manner of monster, I cried playing Gone Home.

Gone Home builds on the environmental storytelling and poking-around of games like BioShock and Deus Ex, but strips out the man-murdering and sets it in an American family home in 1995. You poke around, uncovering secrets and figuring out exactly what happened. It beautifully tells a fascinating and intimate story, hence monster tears.
The announcement notes that it'll cost $19.99, DRM-free or on Steam, and won't have a demo.

Even though it'a probably the game I'm looking forward to the most this year, I've forgotten what the game is actually about because of Idle Thumbs. Last night I even had a dream I was playing the ghost hunter DLC for the game.

Definitely getting this; I liked the narrative and layout from the preview videos.

I don't think that was intended to be a shaming necessarily, but simply making a decision they felt was correct and telling people about this so they understand their absence.
Which happens to be pretty shaming, but isn't, ah, a "callout" as the kids say.

I'm excited for this! Didn't realize it was coming out so soon.
I love that the mid 90's house has an SNES in it...as any proper home worth exploring in the mid 90's should!
