  Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition is a different experience to many of the offerings that the Nintendo eShop has to offer. It doesn’t quite hit the emotional hammer that something like Last Day of June does, but it’s all very well written enough to be able to take a common piece of cake from it. I do think it’s a very hard game to review as it’s not a game in any way, shape or form in the conventional sense. If I was to see it as a game, it would be a terrible one. But, as a way to tell a story, it’s certainly effective enough to work as intended.

  Three Fourths Home feels like reading a short story more than playing a game, which is expected for interactive fiction. I personally wish there had been more to do, but the dialogue told the story and gave me lots to think about. If you want an interesting story about relationships and regret that will give you a few hours of entertainment, this is worth picking up.

  For a $5 price of admission, Three Fourths Home is a must buy for those looking for a unique experience. After three playthroughs, we're still thinking about the Meyers family and have questions that we want answered. Those looking for an actual game to play, though, should know that this may not be an experience for them.

  Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition is one of the most unique and incredible experiences I've ever had on the PlayStation Vita, it may be incredibly short, but at the same time it never overstays it's welcome, absolutely astounding.

  Three Fourths Home is a welcome addition to the Xbox library that single-handedly brings a whole new genre to the platform. If you don't know what you're in for, there's a definite chance that you'll feel short-changed but that's not in any way the fault of the developer. There's a compelling story here for those who give the game the time to grow on them, but there's also a good chance that just as you get into it, you'll be watching the credits roll. An interesting diversion, but there are definitely ways in which it could have been better.

  It sneaks up on you, quietly at first, before suddenly becoming overwhelming. Its closest analogs aren't other games, but works like John Darnielle's novel Wolf in White Van or the haunting music of lo-fi artist Mount Eerie--art that rumbles and groans and then springs into action. More than anything, though, Three Fourths Home reminded me of one of those nights where you look down to see that you're going ten… twenty… thirty miles over the speed limit.
