Well i've played about an hour so far and it's got me hooked. I've always wanted to root around a house and this fetish has unfortunately been coupled with my fear of dark rooms. The atmosphere is as scary as i've experienced even though most of it is in my head - i swear i've seen a shadow dash past in the corner of my eye a few times. Oh yeah gently caress you Tommy.

Transistor Rhythm posted:I cried! Playthrough was only about two hours for me, though. No complaints - it was like watching a good movie. It's lingering with me so much that I want to play it again, but I'm a very thorough "pick up everything and poke at everything twice" in games like this and I can't help but feel like I didn't really miss anything, other than the safes. For the dad's, I tried 1963 and 1163 but neither of those codes worked. Anyone have a tip on that one? Oh man i know what you mean regarding the spoiler. I haven't felt that tense in a while and i'm not ashamed to say i ran to the light turned round and then slowly creeped round the corner. I was expecting something really horrible but was really, really blown away by the conclusion. Listening to Sam's last diary about Lonnie and looking at the pictures in the attic made me tear up. Amazing game, go and get it.

Rookersh posted:So, serious question, with some spoilers. The story isn't about abuse at all. Don't know if you want the main story spoiled but it isn't about the parents at all - although they do have a minor story thread too.

StoicFnord posted:When i hit that part With the pentagram and the ghost stuff, and her saying she was sleepy and she would wait, i thought that she had perhaps attempted suicide, and i moved up to the atic as fast as i could, with trepidation. Exactly what i was expecting. Seeing the note on the little sleeping bag made my mind up. So glad - and a little teary - about what actually transpired.

Dreadwroth posted:Wow this guy really gets it. Holy poo poo. Wow, i had similar thoughts but they really nail it. What a fantastic game. I'm now thinking the room where you find the toy horse and the light doesn't work anymore was maybe where the abuse happened? Maybe Terrence - or maybe even more chillingly Oscar - deliberately made the light stop working. Terrence later on, to keep whatever happened in that room in the dark forever. Leaving his childhood - and toy - behind. Maybe Oscar did it to, well, i don't even want to say. I might play through it again now. Mr_Wolf fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Aug 16, 2013 |

Sylpher posted:I guess it makes sense that it became that house that kids fear and make stories about based on very little. I still think the molestation is conjecture, but after thinking about it some more I don't think it matters. Knowing something bad happened between them is all that is necessary, specifics services nothing. I remember a card wishing Sam a Happy 17th Birthday from him but that was it. I need to play this again because i think i missed a few things.

So where now for The Fullbright company? I'd be happy to play another similar game with a different story, maybe given the huge critical success of this and hopefully financially as well they could maybe broaden the idea to a whole area, maybe even a small street? The idea of having a multitude of houses to rummage through is making me moist.

http://lookrobot.co.uk/2013/08/19/gone-home-your-mothers-bookmark/ That link might have already been posted but it's an - obviously filled with spoilers - interesting take on the Mother's small story in the game.

CapnBiggles posted:So I've had this game pretty much spoiled for me three times by people I know sperging about it unsolicited, mostly in a negative light about how it's not really a game blah blah blah, and I've been fairly diligent in trying to avoid anything. Is it still worth playing knowing the core of the narrative ending? To be honest i'd say no. To have the strongest part of the game spoiled would take away from the experience for me. You'd probably still get some enjoyment because it is so skillfully told but i think - as already said by people earlier in the thread - the dread you have going up to the attic, not knowing what you will find is one of the best bits of the entire game.
