Gone Home

The protagonist is Kaitlin Greenbriar, a 20-year-old woman who returns to her parents home in the USA on 7th June 1995 after a long trip in Europe.

When she arrives the house is entirely deserted with no trace of her father, mother or sister Samantha.

Sam however has left a note on the door that she is gone and urging her sister not to come look for her.

These are however not presented as puzzles, but are scattered among typical items found in a house.

The core gameplay revolves around browsing through items of which most serve no direct purpose.

Drawers can be opened, lights can be turned on, you can look inside a dishwasher, browse books in a library, read flyers ...

Most items are typical for specific rooms, such as different types of foods in a refrigerator, but also a lot of random items such as buttons, markers, pieces of papers and more, as they are expected to be found in a typical family home.

Almost every item in the environment can be examined even if there is no direct purpose.

Items can be picked up and rotated freely in any direction to get a better look.

Every item can be dragged around and tossed at a different location, or sometimes used in the environment such as putting a tape in a recorder to listen to music.

This does not serve as a mechanism to solve puzzles however, you are rather encouraged to find as many clues as possible and then piece together the story and the events by yourself.

The amount of information discovered only depends on the player's investigation and is not enforced by the game.

Exploration is non-linear, but there are a few triggers through keys to locked sections to
