It's an excellent way of delivering plot without delivering anything at all really, instead relying on the player to find their way through it. For example, Fullbright restricts what you can access in the house until you find certain keys and clues, so you can't rush ahead without exploring, and this, in turn, allows more and more of the narrative clues to reveal themselves. The biggest strength of Gone Home is getting these stories across to you in a cohesive order so that you understand what's going on. The trouble is that nobody's inside, and you have to figure out what's going on and unravel the lives of your parents and your sister Sam. Since the game's only with us for a short time (3-5 hours, depending on how closely you snoop around the house) it's hard to talk about much of the story without spoiling it, but what we will say is that you play as Katie Greenbriar, who returns to her American family home after a trip around Europe. This strength of the storytelling is as good in Gone Home as it is in Tacoma then, and it's definitely worth playing if you enjoyed the latter. Instead, they use objects within the world, narration, and a gently guided path to get the story across. It's a testament to this fact that both give you exemplary narratives without a single character in either of them.

If you've played Tacoma - Fullbright's release after Gone Home - you'll know that the team at this studio are the kings and queens of environmental storytelling.

It won't be the same visual treat as on PC for obvious reasons, but this isn't a game about stunning 4K graphics it's about the story it weaves. Everything was smooth as far as we could tell, and everything is just as we remembered it from exploring the Greenbriar's house on other platforms. We'll address the fact that it's on Switch first of all by clarifying that it does indeed run well, both in handheld and when docked. So, if you have yet to play this game at all or if you just want to know what it's like on the Nintendo Switch, join us as we fill you in on how Gone Home plays five years after its first release. Now the game is heading to Nintendo Switch as of this month, and so we thought we'd rectify our shocking lack of review by providing one now.

The Fullbright Company's narrative-driven game Gone Home first landed on our laps back in 2013 when it launched on PC, and after that it was released on both PS4 and Xbox One.
