You arrive home after a year abroad. You expect your family to greet you, but the house is empty. Something's not right. Where is everyone? And what's happened here? Unravel the mystery for yourself in Gone Home, a story exploration game from The Fullbright Company.

Gone Home is an interactive exploration simulator. Interrogate every detail of a seemingly normal house to discover the story of the people who live there. Open any drawer and door. Pick up objects and examine them to discover clues. Uncover the events of one family's lives by investigating what they've left behind.

Go Home Again.

About the author

I've been a PS Vita homebrew developer since 2019, when I began work on Sonic Vitality, which currently sits at 7,465 downloads. The PS Vita deeply interests me as a system, offering impressive system power and a large amount of untapped potential, due to poor developer support during its lifetime. As such, I view creating homebrew like this to be akin to retroactively making the Vita into the system I always wished it had been, and I have deep respect for those who also develop homebrew for the Vita. My ideal job would be to become a full-time PS Vita developer, creating original games and assisting with porting games of all kinds to the system.

Unfortunately, PS Vita devkits are no longer being distributed, so I guess I'll have to make do with becoming a regular game dev and continuing to develop for the Vita on the side. Go figure.
