" This one I saw too, but decided not to announce it here. Partially because I knew somebody would already have done so, but mostly because I don't think that Gone Home is worth the price even when its free. It's not anywhere near as interactive as the adverts would have you believe, and its narrative - an important part of a narrative game, I would think - is pretty dull. It feels like a framework for a better game that never actually got developed. There are many better free games to spend one's bandwidth and time on. IMHO, of course. ;-)
