    While HOME looks cute and has an interesting concept in theory, i would have apprechiated more "options". it's nice that in the end you get a personal description of what home is to you basd on what you picked but for that more options would be required. The way it is now, it feels like the result mainly depends on the number of people you interact with, more choices as the first one (interact with easle, books, …

    What does home mean to you? A safe haven? A place you wish to share with company? A path of an exciting journey with multiple endings?

    Overview: 'HOME' is a third person walking simulator with a very wholesome premise. You play as well, you as you walk through a variety of rooms and environments and essentially create your own poem revolving around the definition of "home" and what it means to you. It's a very heartwarming game and to some extent can tell you things about yourself as a person and what you value in life as a whole. There's a sense …

82% of the 170 Steam reviewers we collected recommend HOME. The complaint that keeps coming up: too little content and very short. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

    This is correct. See, for instance, all the gamers who sent me angry DMs for my glowing review of Gone Home because that game had a "political agenda" (it focused on a high school romance between two teen girls) and games should be apolitical, like the Call of Duty games they liked so much.
