The house is well-rendered and atmospherically lit -- though it sometimes feels as if the "just moved in" motif was used as an excuse to leave some rooms a little barren. Gone Home's non-violent, narrative-heavy experience won't be to everyone's taste, but engage with it -- preferably in a single sitting -- and you'll find yourself drawn deeply into an incredibly immersive experience.
...this is game design writ small and enthralled to the story, turning the player into both reader and author with a surprising degree of sophistication.
Gone Home is a remarkable first-person adventure that tells one of the finest stories I've ever experienced in games.
