RE: Indie game review: Gone Home (2013)
I really loved the bit of humor you put in at the start and ending and implying it as something different by crossing it off so the reader would easily get it.
You have a great way of leading the reader in and deeper down as you explained different things like no cut scenes, some hints of what you would find like the different tapes.
I just hope to many don’t learn they can speed run it in under 2 hours and try to get a refund from whatever platform they bought it on. That is always the downside to these amazing but smallish indie games. They do amazing work for the size of their team but they also don’t have resource yet to make sure people can’t get an easy refund unless they put some cheese style mechanic or grinding in the game to slow the player down.
Looks like an amazing reference game for anyone who really enjoy the 90's. I'm sure many could be getting nostalgia form this kind of game.
Hey, thanks for the kind words!
I think if someone purchased this with the intent to refund it before the 2 hour mark that they'd be pretty silly, and would be missing out on most of what makes this game great. They'd be doing nothing but missing out on a great game :)
I actually keep forgetting that Steam has a refund feature for games. I only had to ever use it once for something that I picked up that was absolutely terrible, and that was well over a year ago, haha.
